  1. I ran 20mm front and 25mm rear with standard Rays/tyre sizes and it was perfectly fine with regards to arch clearance so you shouldn't have any issues with the sizes you are using. As others said you might get a tiny amount of tramlining but within a few miles you will have adapted to that, a 4 way alignment is always a good idea if you haven't had that done lately. David
  2. I've just moved from MPSS to these - simply because the 19" wheels I bought were already clothed in these Yokohamas AD08R. Have only put a couple of hundred miles on them delivering my car to a trader on here from "up north" (for him to do some work I hope to report on at the weekend) so too early to properly lean on on them but initial impressions seem quite favourable to ikle old amateur me... Def liked the MPSS and accept these Yokohamas are perhaps a bit more compromised in not being as good in the wet but worth giving them a try. David
  3. You could try here ---- http://www.rsw.ne.jp/z33-english.htm They aren't cheap but their CF work is first class. All depends if they still do 350z parts. David.
  4. Am no engineer ( ) so was more than a little confused by the thinking behind this concept...! David
  5. Bought these 19" ROTAs with Yokohama (all unused) for a bargain price from Damian (Roadtrip) and collected them last weekend. Dusted them a little ( ) then sealed them inside and out with GTechnic C5 and my local tyre guys fitted them today. My immaculate 18" Rays and 1/3rd worn MPSS are now all cleaned and stored while I decide what to do with them. Cars needs to be lowered a tad - July 27th Kaizer Motors will be fitting a set of Torqen's coilovers (and monster brakes,,,) so will drop it perhaps 20mm. I have to say I am not totally convinced about the wheels yet... - time will tell.
  6. Welcome to zed world - am a Redhill resident. David
  7. I had my engine cover wrapped and within a few months it was bubbling - the heat generated by that lump in a tightly packed engine bay is significant! I then did the correct thing and bought a proper CF cover. David
  8. At Gurston this weekend Andy? Likely to stroll on down with my (all grown up) son - will pop along to your spot and say hello (if we get there). David
  9. Powder coats cure through the baking cycle so can be sealed/treated straight away. I had mine fully refurbed (powder coated by The Wheel Specialist) in March 2013 and the next day gave them GTechnic C5 treatment and each 12 months thereafter. Dirt, grime, brake dust falls off with simple soapy water mix and they are still immaculate and shiny all over (including the inner barrel) David
  10. I changed a fuse today... then watched the Le Mans coverage...
  11. Bump up for last couple of parts - sold items have been deleted.
  12. Cheers young man I appreciate your guidance. Apologies your right I've been using the 203S for light cutting along with the Tangerine pad. I've been selecting about 1/4 of the bonnet as my area, then having applied the polish I do 3 passes (a pass = Virtical polishing the area then horizontally polishing the same area) So I assume I could either do say 6 passes or more, or buy another suppliers medium cutting pad and polish (assuming their suitable for soft paint) for the slightly deeper scratches. As it happens this requirement isn't for my gunmetal car, which doesn't seem to show scratches to readily, but for my daughters friends car who has a black Vauxhall VXR which does. Are you working the compound long enough/hard enough for it to break down? The Menz should break down to an oily haze if I recall correctly. I don't recall how many "passes" I would have done, i judge by the visual changes in the actual compound.
  13. Mine is a Jack Royal wheel at +4mm over standard. At first it felt a bit chunky BUT it is absolutely ideal! Since pic was taken have had the silver trims wrapped in satin black.
  14. MONSTER kit was ordered today!!!! I rather like the logo...
  15. Oh no.... ... why did I click on this... Going to be an expensive summer... now these are also on my purchase list.... Might have to block book a Zed shed day out... David
  16. I agree - buy the totally UNUSED, still unopened in Nissan wrapping (NOT 2nd hand!) one that is advertised in the For Sale section... ooops... that's my ad isnt it? - David
