I'll have one please

Hey guys, Up for sale is a pair of brand new Nankang NS-2R tyres - 180 street compound. 225/40 R18. I bought these a month ago, but stupidly bought the wrong size! I have since bought the correct sizes for my wheels and currently have them fitted to my 350z. These are awesome tyres and given they are semi-slicks, they perform surprisingly well in the wet. I've yet to see the traction control light come on, even under heavy load. Dont get these confused with most Nankang tyres which seem to have quite a bad name, in particular the NS-2's. I think there are a few people who run these on the forum and i'm sure they can vouch for them being a decent tire. There isn't much to see in the picture (apart from dirty Z's ) as I got a bit eager and re-wrapped them back up before taking the photos! Heres a link to the nankang website for full specs: http://www.nankangty...otorsport/ns-2r I'm asking for £150 P&P included. If you are local to King's Lynn and are happy to collect then I can deduct £15 off the price. Thanks

If you somehow manage to get them off, give me a shout! Do you know what they have been glued on with?

Why do this to me!! Haha Anyone else?

Hello, Has anyone got a pair of eyebrows / eyelid things lying around? Ideally painted in Gunmetal grey Drop me a pm Thanks

Anyone got an OEM used offside rear tail light? Needs to be the LED off of the facelift / HR models please Thanks

As above, not looking to spend an absolute fortune! But i'm on the lookout for new or used examples of both, colour is not an issue as I'll be getting them resprayed. Not looking for genuine parts, replicas will be fine. If any traders can source both at a decent price then i'd be happy to negotiate Thanks

Just a quick update if anyone has the same dilemma as me and is searching around the forums in the future for an answer! I bought a set of Eibach adjustable rear camber arms and the alignment is all sorted. Did not need adjustable toe bolts in the end, managed to get away with the stock ones and adjustable arms. Currently running -2.5 degrees of camber on the rear, just enough that the wheel sits within the arch without rubbing and i've got most of the tyre in contact with the ground! Thanks again for the input guys

:O thats the best part of a grand!! I'm not made of money hahahah. I know modding the zed isn't exactly wallet friendly but jeeez

+1 However I find the alignment very odd! To start off at the front there is .5 deg difference in caster while the toe/ camber is pretty even and would suggest the front ride height is square since you cannot adjust OEM front camber and caster. The only explanation would be a worn/torn bush at the front and likely the compression bush since it can allow front to back movement if worn which in turn will increase or decrease caster. At the rear the camver disparity is even more baffling as if you could get one side to 2degs or there abouts then why the other side at 4 deg? The only things I can think about as a posible cause is a bent camber arm or failed damper, sagged spring or wrongly installed components or the alignment guys were crap! If everything is equal then that side has to be significantly lower than the other to give twice the difference. Rear bushes do wear/perish or fail but should affect static camber but handling dynamics. Is the car lowered on coilovers or springs. Has it had a bump you know off eg hard kerbing? The eibach arms will restore the difference but it's important to find why. As you rightly said you may have to run > -2.camber both sides to avoid interference but that's not too bad if under 2.5deg At the front -1deg 40-50mins camber is ok Infact the zed can do with more. You will need arms if you want to exploit this but otherwise you are ok. Hope you find the issuesí ½í± I'll have to take a look at the bushes once its up in the air, a good 10+ years with the stock bushes so this could be the issue! Yeah the rear camber baffled me slightly! No idea whats gone on there... I'll definitely get a set of adjustable arms for the rear and see how I get on. The car is lowered on Eibach springs (30mm drop) and i'm not aware of any heavy impact. I'm not looking to track it or have perfect alignment, so at the possibility of sorting out 1 degree of camber on the front i think i'll save£400 and stick with the stock arms and give the adjustables a miss!

Hello everyone. For those who had an input on my previous thread: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/93918-spacers/ that has been sorted! Thanks for your advice. Instead of cutting the hub bolts or knocking them out and buying new ones, which I imagined would be a bit of a nightmare! I decided to go for 25mm spacers all round and a rear arch roll and now everything fits perfectly! (if you are in the Norfolk area looking for arch rolling service, I'd strongly recommend A Reeve Performance in King's Lynn) no rubbing on the front or rear and the spacers now sit flush with the hub (as they should do!) currently ET-10 on a 10J at the rear and ET-3 on a 9J at the front. Now.... After getting this all sorted I took the Z to get aligned, as you can see from the pictures below there is a bit of an issue with the camber: Before: After: Now my dilemma is: Can I get away with the minor adjustment from a pair of Eibach adjustable toe bolts with the stock camber arms? Can I buy a pair of adjustable camber arms and use the stock toe bolts? Or am I going to need to buy both adjustable camber arms and toe bolts? Just dont want to jump in and buy the whole kit when I may not need both arms and bolts. As you can see from the last photo there isn't an awful lot of room so I'll probably have to run -2 degrees camber at the rear anyways, so its really just pulling the rear offside wheel in by +2 degrees. As always, Thank you in advance

You have a PM

Thanks mate Yeah initially I wasn't a fan of the gold and didn't think it'd look that good, although now they're on the car I don't think they look too bad! hahaha well lets just say I'm not very popular with the neighbours... It does sound amazing though, once the weather clears up and i've sorted the fitment on the wheels i'll try and get some videos up

Yeah I think that was his name? Lives in Mildenhall? Yeah that's him, he had them on his black 350. Yeah he had his Zed parked outside, was rather nice I forgot to ask him what wheels he was opting for next! Is he a member on here?
