Winter tyres last longer than summer tyres in winter and...

Summer tyres last longer than winter tyres in summer so...

 

Over the lifetime of both sets of tyres, you get more miles for your £ than running a summer set for the same time period all year round.

Blimey im gonna employ you as my accountant!!!!!!!!

Im in West Sussex in the UK...and have big fat tyres and being rear wheel drive too i was expecting it to be a bit of a handful!!...but im thinking winter tyres are gonna cost a small fortune!!...whereas socks are about £40-£50...i spose anything is better than nothing!!

Ok this is a little early BUT, I was wondering if anyone had tried snow socks on their Zeds during previous winters?

I'm imagining zeds are pretty useless in the snow what with big fat tyres (19's on mine) so was just curious to hear from anyone who has used socks...I was also wondering how the car does actually drive in the snow as i've not had the pleasure yet!!! (Eeeeeeks!!!)

Best thing I have ever done, Mags Metal Polish.

Photos in there.

best thing youve ever done...apart from buying the z of course haha!! wow they look like new!! great job!! actually they look slightly better than mine!! gonna try some of that stuff!!!!!

I've tried T Cut on mine and it didn't make a difference think this month I'm going to try one of the Mothers Headlight Restoration Kits. Pricey, but should guarantee a good finish?

oh, maybe its on the inside on yours??

Just bought my new cargo net from Steve at Redline, very happy, fast delivery and great communication!!...So, i thought id post this very exciting photo for you all to drool over!!

 

Thanks again Steve.

 

im after power, mines an 05!!

Yes. Exhaust and intakes and then UpRev. There is other mods you can do depending on which Z you have, such as the plenum spacer on the DE engine or the velocity stack.

What intakes do you recommend?

Yep did this outside a mates house earlier! Parkedup, turned to go in, but happened to glance back from a slightly elevated rear three quarters view... Had to take a picture it looked so good lol

wheres the photo!!

Have a read

Thanks for the link mate, very interesting!!

At the moment 'as far as i know' the car is standard. Is it better to add certain mods to the car before uprev?

Hi all,

 

Can anyone tell me what an uprev can do for my Z...ie what are the benefits to having this done?

 

Thanks!!

new rims, same model, but bronze

 

 

nice with the wheels!! looks good!!

Membership is really going down hill

Dont read it then. Its no problem.

Welcome!!!! Youre gonna be a happy chappie!!

Just T-Cut, seems fine so far. I wrap cars, make vehicle graphics for a living etc etc so i was gonna cover them in a uv guard vinyl but so far theyve stayed clear. I may do it if they start to mist again but fingers crossed.

I use T-Cut a lot in my line of work, especially on plastics, perspex and similar, although i wouldnt use it on the bodywork though.

Not with T-Cut we don't.

Mine look like new now!!

Apparently admiral prices have went through the roof this past month or so!

I don't like the sound of that, my insurance is due in mid September and I'm currently with admiral.

I used AXA insurance, were the cheapest online, im paying £300 a year comprehensive and thats including telling them the mods on the car.

Try AXA

Hi all, well i know this may seem obvious and i expect a few have already done it but when i bought my Z, i noticed the headlights were very slightly misted from where the plastic was reacting with the heat of the lights. So all i did was T-Cut them and now theyre as good as new!! Just thought id mention it!!...but like i said, im sure most try this option anyway!!

Consider that the Zed audio system can be up to 10 years old, so think back what the technologies of that time would have been.

Only other way of running music from your iPhone 5 to the Bose is to do a Bose Hack or a cassette adapter

Yeah ive heard about the hack. Maybe looks like a new stereo lol!! im using a radio signal adaptor at the mo but ideally want a better sound

 

d:(

No, bluetooth is for phone calls only with the bose.

 

Thats also quite over priced, expect to pay less than £70

ok cool, i thought as much!! And yeah ive seen it for less, thanks for your reply!! Can playing your phone music be that hard lol!!?

Blue tooth adaptor... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nissan-350Z-Z33-Genuine-Car-Bluetooth-Adapter-KE283CDBT1-/261256046471?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Car+Make%3ANissan%7CModel%3A350+Z&hash=item3cd412e787

 

Im thinking/hoping this will allow me to play my iphone music...what do you think?? I have the bose system with the six disc front loader.

 

Thanks.

15 months of ownership and I still look at the reflection in shop windows

I think we have Ajay Panchal to thank for that!!
