  1. ^ those were meant for the Nismo allowing for the larger bumper
  2. Parked side by side, the 350z looks like a neat little sports car
  3. Ive ran mine to switch, so its not permanently active. From now until the spring I clear my exterior windows, headlamps with cold water and drop the bollard - so its nice to just lean in start the car beforehand.
  4. I park next to one most days at work and compared to the 350z, imo they look over bodied and boxy.
  5. It's been years since I've used cruise control, does the system deactivate when the clutch is pressed or brake pedal or both?
  6. That's the problem with the 350z, to move away you need to spend at least twice as much to go little bit faster, to handle a little bit better, ending up something not a rare, all for the pleasure of larger service bills and will it sound as good as the VQ?....... I think a clean tidy 350z still looks good on the road as there's only one newer model after it, unlike the M3, Boxster or Cayman.
  7. For clarity the F1 Supersport is a completely new tyre and sits above the asymmetric 5 (not it's replacement) but below the Supersport RS.
  8. Something for the winter https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F183949189424
  9. Has anyone else done this and in reality is there any adverse effects, providing the car is started when in neutral? I've never had a car that wouldnt start without the clutch being depressed and don't see the benefits? I've read operating a dry clutch release bearing every morning, causes additional internal wear compared to operating once the clutch is already spun up.
  10. Just in time for the winter wheels
  11. Any of those top three tyres Continental, Goodyear or Michelin you'd be hard pushed to tell the difference on road from a ultimate performance point of view however when needing a set of 19' tyres I went for the Continentals. The reviews show the subjective steering feel of the CSC6 to best, with the sportiest feel and the least road noise.
  12. Car shampoo of choice Pre wash spray bottle Wheel cleaner Bucket Wheel brush Wash mitts £2 (£1 to jet off at the start, £1 to jet wash off at the end) Pull it round the corner to dry off or steady drive home.
  13. I'd match the fronts, then next time round upgrade to the Goodyear Eagle F1 Superports http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Article/2019-Tyre-Reviews-UHP-Summer-Tyre-Test.htm
  14. I'd find a local BP that has a buy time jet wash & bring £2 and a bucket of suds.
  15. That's does look alot smarter, subtle but enough as the splitter before was very flat faced if that makes sense. Form and function, which will help too on track pal!!!
  16. Ive tinted my DE headlights and passed MOT no issues, not to say it would in every station in the land.
  17. Not long after having my license and going to TOTB events, at that time Rocket Ronnie in his R33 GTR was cleaning up and from then this car was my favourite 90's JDM motor. For the time it was mind melting numbers as for this competition, you'd entry one car for the handling, drag and top speed events so had to be a strong all-rounder.
  18. Good meeting you too fella, definitely a tidy spot for breakfast in the new year. I could have driven all day with the GTR in my rear view, what a car and the mods WOW!!!!!! Your 350z was lush too with sweet mods.
  19. Hi all, home safe and sound. Thank you everyone for coming out in less than desirable conditions, hope the breakfast made up for it *I'm still full now!!! Lovely seeing you all, great people, great cars. Also can I ask if you had a nice breakfast to drop Oakes Farm Shop a comment on Google, as no doubt we'll book there again in the Spring for breakfast and kindly even opened up early for us which I thought was very kind too. Oakes Farm Shop Till the next time #damncarboot
  20. That's bloody good going The big girl isn't bad on a steady run. Mine from Nottingham to Birmingham after MFN one evening.
