Yup, why not?

Not something I've noticed so far, although the previous owner did have 3 Bridgestones of vastly differing age/condition and a Dunlop before so I guess I haven't known better on this car... Anyway I won't hijack this thread any longer..

Can't say I've ever had Eagle F1s. Which company are you buying from? I've just put on MPSS on the back and PS3s on the front of my 370z and they're excellent. Bought mine from Camskill.

Understeer city! PS3s are shopping trolley tyres despite the PS designation, they're going to hugely inhibit the front end performance of your car.

 

 

As to the original question, I'd happily put on the F1s, 050As or AD08Rs if I couldn't get MPSS.

Even for purely road driving, no track use?

Haha I do indeed, love the set up on yours! Did the decat make a huge difference to the sound?

Thanks unfortunately I sold my Zed last July, ...still gutted but needed to be done due to getting a new house with my Mrs.

 

Prior to getting the De-Cats I was running HFC's (High Flow Cats) and yes it did make a difference to the sound fitting the De-Cats. Honestly though I can't say exactly how much of a difference they made as I had the car supercharged at the same time as fitting the De-Cats so the sound as a whole changed.

 

My old build thread is linked in my signature if you ever fancy a look.

Ahh that's a shame, it looked an awesome car and I bet it was a fun project to work on.

I doubt I'll de-cat mine but I have been thinking of installing HFCs for a while.

I actually now remember reading your build thread a while ago whilst looking into something completely unrelated; it's a really good read!

Cheers to everyone for the warm welcome!

Welcome aboard, there seems to be quite a few newby red zed owners appearing lately, must be the new 'in' colour 😄

I've only seen one other red Z locally and that was a 350; I love how rare they are!

Just had a mooch at your build thread btw, stunning car. Where did you get the carbon fibre skinning done?

Welcome aboard David.

 

Hope your exhaust sounds as good as it looks.

 

Cheers, I'll throw a video up when I've got something good enough to record it and do it justice! Winter cold starts are fun...

You need a GoPro...

Imo.

Welcome along mate, lovely looking zed. Shame about the bumper but at least there are still honest people around

Cheers, good job because I didn't even have the new dash cam installed. Not that it would've been much use anyway given it was facing a wall!

along. '70s looks gorgeous in red

Thanks, it really does. To think I was tempted by a purple one before I saw this...

I gave the car a proper detail one weekend which consisted of 2 days of puzzled neighbours coming over to tell me it was already clean and that I had a problem...

Next job was to respray the wheels which were looking a bit tired having lost a couple of battles with kerbs...

The previous owner had chosen not to replace tyres in pairs which made for some fishtailing fun at first but soon wore off when rep mobiles were getting the jump on me at lights in the wet.

So in the past week I've bought 2 new Michelin Pilot Super Sports for the rear and 2 new Pilot Sport 3s for the front from Camskill.

Also invested in some EBC Redstuff pads for the front from Cougar Store given the state of the old ones and that I've been getting the park brake, vdc and slip lights coming on under harder acceleration. Hoping they solve the issue...

Despite carefully parking my car away from harm at the gym the other day, someone quite skilfully managed to reverse into it. Luckily I know the guy, he broke the news to me and will be paying for a respray of the rear bumper when it goes in next week. Didn't appreciate the van driver who witnessed the fiasco apparently saying to him: "don't worry mate the cctv doesn't even work so you'll be fine"...

Hey there, thought I'd finally say hello having owned my 2011 370z for the best part of a year!

Here's a couple of photos of the car shortly after taking delivery:

Like many I quickly became bored of the stock exhaust and after much deliberation (watching countless sketchy American youtube videos) I took the plunge and went for the HKS Hi Power Ti system, which I bought from Abbey Motorsport who were great to deal with. They arranged for it to be sent to AC Speedtech in Warrington to be fitted; I couldn't believe how rusty the old system was and they had a hell of a job getting it off. The HKS looks awesome and the sound is incredible. It isn't too intrusive at low revs and suffers from zero drone. I'll record some videos at some point soon...
