More from tyre reviews Great indication of what's out there and how they compare, plus it's new rubber content.

Cheers pal, the next MidlandZ meet is going to be BIG!!! Our own venue all booked, no public just Z owners 👍

Lovely and the plate 🙌

Clearly my posts on the matter are not to taken anymore than banter, plus my post was acknowledged by Paul? Are you offended or has anyone approach you confirming likewise?

I've had x3 and and extra one to make sure, one from each manufacturer. Plus 3 masks and sun glasses, maybe needed factor 50 as it was very nice and sunny.

I actually do have a really bad cough this morning and shortness of breath 😔 others have said the same also.

Going to look like a Z GT500 class racer but better!!!

Possibly on FB taken by passengers, hopefully see a few later today. A great morning had by all and lovely to get the first one in the bag for 2021 👍

Few pictures for those not on Facebook from today's MidlandZ club meet. New venue and the day was just about perfect, sensible number of cars and fantastic weather. All cars despite yesterday downpour were looking amazing!! Great to meet up with Z owners of ol' and new.

You exhaust whore!!!! Smart move no doubt, sounded really nice today 👌

Lovely work pal, it's the little touches

It's Aldi's version of fairy haha yeah I use it before a clay and polish to help brake down the old wax and sealant. Hands feel super soft after too ☺️ It's a common colour for sure. The depth and pop in a well looked after gunmetal is lovely.

More juicy UHP goodness 😀 And the sticky stuff

Much better, never got why a car the 350z or 370z didn't get tints from factory. Top spec Notes and Qashqai had tints from launch.

I've never seen a report of one causing premature wear or engine failure to a VQ, only forum Chinese whispers. From UR People are getting the pulleys confused with the harmonic dampers found on 90 degree V8 and V6 engines. The pulleys on most of the new import and smaller domestic engines have an elastomer (rubber ring) incorporated into the pulley that looks similar to a harmonic damper. The durometer in the OEM pulley serves as an isolator, which is there for noise suppression from the A/C compressor, P/S pump and the alternator, What the manufacturers call NVH (Noise Vibration & Harshness) when referring to passenger compartment noticeable noise andv vibration. If you look at some of the pulleys on older imports there is no rubber to be found. We have samples of mostly Honda, An Altima, 1.8L Eclipse, 2.3L Ford, Chrysler 2.2L, 1.8L VW and a few others all with no rubber. The purpose of a traditional harmonic damper is to keep the crankshaft from cracking which is not necessary on your engine. You have probably heard stories about bearing and oil pump failures. Any abnormal bearing wear is due to a lubricating issue, The most common examples are using the wrong weight of oil, a faulty head gasket or poor engine assembly practices. The idea of increased bearing wear from not having a damper on the engine is false. Using too heavy of an oil can shatter the oil pump gears. Most of the time oil pump failure is caused by something being sucked up into the pump. The fact of the matter is the pulleys have been out there running for over 5 years and there have been no failures attributed to the pulleys. There is a lot of internet hearsay about the pulleys, too often people are too quick to blame the pulley first rather than looking into why there was a problem and then go and post it on a message board. You really have nothing to worry about.

Perfect opportunity to upgrade to a lightweight crank pulley 😬

Very tasty chap

Ello n welkom

How is best to go about setting up adjustable drop links on the drive for example?

Stunning fella, glws

These are going to transform the interior, alot nicer looking than the ones that come in a MK2 Nismo and more supportive 👌

All the very best with the sale, always special seeing this turn up to our Midlands meets over the years.

Reset on a warm engine is key
