If you could do a wax and shine one for my rear bumper it would be great. Get in touch if feasible.

Welcome Mitch, might see you at japfest.

Welcome along

I will join up with you guys, may have to stop over to get there at that time though.

I dont know the exact weight but i estimated about 25kg each when i removed mine, replaced with bucket seats and rails at around 10kg each so a nice saving

There is a guy on youtube i stumbled accross watching 350z stuff that has stripped his zed out to the extreme but everywhere he can save weight he has. He is called thatbluezguy it will give you some ideas if you want to take things further. He claims to have the lightest 350 in the world. Obvious ones to start with are stainless/titanium exhaust, lightweight bucket seats, sports/decats, lightweight fly, remove spare wheel and jack.

Welcome CJ

Have a look on my website. Lots of great products for inspiration and a wash guide written by @ilogikal1 for inspiration.

Welcome along best model and colour

Welcome along I was new to forums a couple of years back but this is a great forum, plenty of helpful folk and banter.

Welcome along

Definitely interested, the rear arms, anti roll bars and coilovers are all eibach so these would fit in well. PM me with pics and price, cheers Alex

As above, if anyone has any before i shell out on new let me know.

Welcome Marc. may see you at japfest our list is getting big now

It certainly wont do any harm, I did mine last year, gives you the peace of mind that it is protected but more importantly allows you to inspect the underside for any rust and sort before it gets worse. I sell the Bilt Hamber dynax range on the website that i used on my 350, these come highly recommended, I also sell the Hydrate 80 rust converter if needed and a kit. If you have the time spare, for the cost of products its a no brainer.

I am sure @ZMANALEX will sell you just 2 fronts or 2 rears, whichever way you want to go, although like above, you wanna be on the 8.5j really for better tyre fitment and better traction.

Thanks @350Butcher this is the thing with tyres like with many other parts, everyone has a different view which is great but not so great at the same time. I spent around 2 hours today looking at reviews/videos online and had made my mind up on the Nankang AR-1 From what info I can gather they perform from the get go and can last a full day without any drop off in performance, people were talking about knocking 2 secs off their previous best on lap 1 or 2 on a 2 minute track then another second or so after 4/5 laps and the same times thereafter. When I looked at Michellin Cup 2 and Pirelli Trofeo R, no doubt they are a faster tyre when upto temp but lots of reviews saying they take a few laps to do it and times come down like a second a lap for first 5 laps then consistant after, there was a great video on youtube with a guy comparing cup 2 to pilot 4s road tyres on a damp road and the cup 2's were spinning at every opportunity, he just couldn't get any temperature into them for them to hit their peak window and the trofeo R are advised to use caution in the wet, not saying the AR-1 will be great but they seem a softer compound which will work better from cold. The Trofeo R seems to get the best rating out of any road legal tyre in the dry but it needs a very specific pressure/temp to work otherwise the performance falls off a cliff, read that as unless you have a full pit crew with tyre blankets its nigh on impossible to get the perfect pressure. Not really looked at the A052s apart from the Yoko site that markets them as a street sport tyre, that put me off a little as the AR-1 are marketed as a Trackday specific tyre that is road legal, if that makes sense. I will try and make my mind up soon as I need to bite the bullet and get some sorted, also the AR-1 are £800 set in sizes I need (demontweeks), 265/35/18 and 235/40/18 which seems great value compared to the others which are £1000 + although the price is not a factor in my decision, its always good to save money.

A big welcome from one Glen to another

Welcome to the club

Welcome along

welcome along, great purchase!

Not allowed Steve unfortunately.

Looking nice

Cheers Dan, i may have misled you with the title though, What i meant was best tyre when the tyre is cold, not the track/weather although today it was both in the morning. I am thinking more like spring/summer average british cloudy day, whats gonna work best for sprints/hillcimbs when you are not allowed any tyre spinning or warming so the tyre has to perform out of the box so to speak, rather than over multiple laps. No so bothered about whether it lasts a million laps as long as it doesnt kill me in the wet.
