  1. I ran Michelins on the front and Nexens on the rear of mine for 2yrs (came like this when I bought it) absolutely no issues, just drive according to conditions. Same folks that say you must have four matching tyres, would have you change your tyres at 3mm regardless. Not even Michelin themselves say buy new at 3mm.
  2. Took advantage of the eBay sale day and picked up this year's service kit and a pair of MPS4 to replace my MPS3. Having taken the car out on track, both a boiling hot day (Japfest 2 Rockingham) and torrential rain (PHSS Silverstone) I really felt I could lean on the PS3's with confidence and abuse the front end at least in the dry. Cant wait to swap them out for the new rubbers, however will wait until later in the year as the old ones are still on 3mm. Shoppers faces when I came out of Argos with tyres
  3. Nothing but love for a Pulsar GTi-R, however in standard forum they're tame in this day & age.

  5. From what I gather, nowt can be adjusted on the rear of a standard 350z. No point paying for "4 wheel alignment" if only the front axle can be adjusted, is my thinking. I think the rears are hooked up on the machine purely as a point of chassis reference to the front, showing thrust angle.
  6. What adjustment can be done for the rear of a standard 350z?
  7. My favourite hyper hatch of them all, beast of a car!!!
  8. Fitting coilovers is easier than fitting lowering springs, it's literally suspension part off new suspension part on. Prior to that is setting preload which can be done indoors in the warm, then once fitted the ride height adjustment which can take longer than the installation itself. What spring rate did you go for?
  9. Nice little additions, only the best from Nengun. This next for 2018?..... https://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nissan-Nismo-Side-Stripe-Set-350z-GTR-Skyline-S14-Car-Decal-Graphic/152211725685?epid=1380936807&hash=item2370869d75:g:38gAAOSw-itXtx35
  10. Is it like house sitting for a millionaire, a chance to dream lol Personally I wouldn't have the cheek.
  11. As it should have been from factory for all
  12. Upgrade for our UK 350z https://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nissan-350Z-O-S-O-S-driver-window-switch-A1836/222787977832?hash=item33df32c268:g:glYAAOSwIspaV4TJ
  13. Shocking news and just the worst turn of events/timing. Are we all just hear to live, work, buy, sell and die........ hopefully not ay. He would want you both to eat, sleep when need be and not worry too much. Yes easier said than done I'm sure. Be strong and do what can be done for his left ones as I'm sure you'll do. What we think is important day to day, really isn't if you step back for a moment and think what you have and not what items you haven't.
  14. Rotten luck pal, sorry to hear this *stick your name down for the midlands meet next month
  15. Members car https://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/2005-Nissan-350-Z-3-5-V6-2dr/222750165978?hash=item33dcf1cbda:g:IYYAAOSw~QRaPPmg
  16. First and foremost, Happy New Year Been hinting at @Mopedmark for ages to suggest me for Regional Event Organiser and he finally succumb. Received a PM from @coldeland within moments I was sworn in under our Zed Bible, again thank you Mark and Col. Previously with car clubs I’ve arranged local meets, drive outs, rolling roads, meals, karting and genuinely enjoy doing so. All forum members welcome, whether you’re lucky enough to drive a Zed or not. Nice relaxed and informal meet, great opportunity to meet new friends and/or catch up with old Also a good excuse to clean up our cars, enjoy a Sunday morning drive and take a lovely pictures in a new location. Plan is to meet around 10:30am at the eatery (I’ll be filming cars on entry) and go for lunch and drinks at midday. Please kindly add your name if interested and state lunch or leave blank, I can then closer to the time book a table. Date: Sunday 18th February Time: 10:30am Location: Brewers Fayre Cross Point – M6 Jct 2 Gielgud Way Cross Point Business Park Coventry CV2 2SZ Modern, all you can eat buffet with a choice of 7 different national cuisines. Thanks David davey_83 - Lunch Mopedmark - Lunch
  17. Porsche are seriously playing with our minds, I love the 911 R and what it represents. The 991.2 GT3 is a better car however screams look at me. Now the new GT3 Touring is this gens equivalent 911 R, but for much less money. Does that make the R take a 'back seat' I think it does. My favourite 911 to date...... 991.2 GT3 Touring
  18. Just put together my glovebox detailing kit for the Zed. Never done this before however what a smart and easy idea. Right to left, my go to glass cleaner, leather cleaner, quick detailer, interior dressing and 5:1 APC.
  19. A picture of how these look when fitted will help the sale no end.
  20. Even brand new cars aren't perfect sadly, found your way onto a GREAT forum so stick around!!
  21. I'd have thought these issues would have been on going for a good will to be fair. Any vehicle purchase from a 'meet point' isn't a good idea. One related reason is as a warm vehicle/engine, wont show the issues a cold one will. Hopefully all sorted soon enough.
  22. First action would be, re grease shafts and re torque to correct spec. If whereby that doesn't work, then progress to replacing parts. I carried out first action myself about 2 years ago and it's been perfect since. However as we're talking warranty, with a limited window for repair......... half of me is saying do the minimum repair that's needed, the other says go for the replacement parts *thinking out loud.
