  1. Poorly presented stats or not the budget tyre performance is awful and clearly bottom both on paper and subjective feel. When the top manufacturers are all within shades of each other and a cheap tyre is stone last every time then the numbers speak for themselves. The Chinese tyres performance isn't defendable. It's not even as if it placed second to last once, not once. It's was thrown in purely to present where not to spend ones money. Great to see Goodyear smash Michelin and Continental in the wet handling mind. 265 35 R19

    New Wrap

    Nice look and goes very well with the contrasting alloys Door jams done also?
  3. Exactly, massive difference between even mid range and super budget tyres #lethal A 35 profile tyre is arguably always going to be fitted to a performance car, meaning they're even more important than on a 3 cylinder grocery getter.
  4. 245/35 R19 & 265/35 R19 tested
  5. Looks fab, I remember the days of commandeering a car park for mods installs. Be sure to upload a picture of the complete frontal look when can too.
  6. Possibly the centre rubber has worked it's way loose and could be off. With regards to bending hangers, I'd always say try this carefully to the exhaust mounted hangers and not the cars ones. Nothing wrong with the car, so try to adjust the exhaust mounted hangers accordingly.
  7. I'd take off the 90° bends from the rear silencer and tips. Bend the hanger to try and lever the rear silencer, then fit the pipes and tips to suit. If the rear section sat level before it's strange that the additions have upset it but you don't have much choice.
  8. Could try bending the hanger on the drivers. What bits of the rear silencer can come off?
  9. Looks real nice, tints have tied in well too. Looks good, bit of extra security and keeps the cabin cooler in the summer months
  10. Nice honest write up and interesting to see. Tones of work gone in and fingers crossed to many many hours of fun driving it to make up for the outlay. Take it you bought your 350z new back in the day, that's awful alot in depreciation..... Could have maintained leased for less.
  11. Yeah it's amazing film, second time round equally as good as the first.
  12. I listen to this a fair bit, love the end scene in the movie to walk up after almost a life time to the realisation it was all a dream.
  13. Bladdy good price for a tidy low mileage GT, glws
  14. Thank you for the kind words and all the best in the search, plenty out there so take your time when choosing. Few pictures from the weekends run out to Kwik Fit Malmesbury, through the Cotswolds then back up to Caff & Mach. 162 miles that day and used just over 1/4 tank which I thought was excellent for the big Z33.
  15. Stone stuck in the tread possibly......
  16. Toggled through and noticed the DTE showing 350 after 70 miles of driving. Weren't hanging about either, good to see the ol' girl still running good. Rarely do I fill the tank, as it doesn't make sense lugging around the extra weight if not needed. Back home on the drive and showing 299 DTE after 162 miles through the Cotswolds. Mad to think the 350z could do Exeter to Edinburgh on a single tank.
  17. To help wrap this one up, the charity drive out is tomorrow and target has almost been reached which is fantastic. Weather looks just about perfect too, can't wait
  18. OP - buy whatever daily you want No need for a thread.
  19. Late order placed Thursday and package arrived next day, cheers lads - super service as per
  20. Is a shame really, as I'd say most folks that say negative things probably have never driven one at speed. VBH *racing license holder and race instructor loved the 350z and rated it alongside all that she's driven, which is more than good enough for me.
  21. Id imagine heavy clutch and steering, poor visibility, road noise, not great at getting in & out when parked in a normal parking space, feels a wide car on the road, only 2 seats, not great urban mpg. New Nissan Leaf? Almost the perfect cheap to run daily, if not doing more than 120 miles a day.........
  22. Few from today, been a long time since I was a Turtlewax fan
