    JDL Brakes

    Anyone used them? Amazing price on a full set front and rear of ds2500 pads £269 delivered. But they come from Poland so a bit wary of being hit by an import tax although a quick Google doesn't bring up any mention of this from folk who've bought them for other marques.
  2. Seen one! Currently on hols in Fuerteventura and saw a 350z rear end, faded (as is everything out here) navy disappearing round a side street in Corralejo, no pic I'm afraid. Never see any at home and I'm betting it's prob the only one on this lil island and I spot it!
  3. Had the 370z 2 weeks now , done 700 miles, which is a daily return trip from Kettering to Northampton, also been to Solihull, Sutton Coldfield and Lincoln and I have not seen another z, be that 350 or 370 on the road. Anyone know how many of us are out there? The spotted thread seems busy enough, maybe I'm just driving around with my eyes shut
  4. My most immediate interest in this debate relates to the fact I'm off to Fuerteventura in a week and thanks to Boris declaring his intentions the euro is now at a 10 year low. I currently hate Boris.

    370z HFCs

    I'm about to replace my my09 oem exhaust with a my16 Nismo, didn't plan it, but a bargain fell in my lap. So I'm thinking I might as well get some HFCs while its being done. Not really keen on c£500 that new ones cost so does anyone have any lying around? Reason I got the Nismo is I want a little extra ooomph for not much more noise, so the same goes for the cats. Fast Intentions resonated seem the quietest but what at a more realistic price point will be similar. Cheers

    wider rear tyres

    Thanks for the reply, my preference was 295/35, didn't really want a lower profile as this will increase the gap to arch and also send the speedo the wrong way, if only marginally. Theres still a 2% difference using a 30 profile so why do you think it would be a better option? Cheers
  7. No thread hijack intended, but I'm about to replace a 2009 370z oem exhaust with a 2015 Nismo exhaust, I'm after a bit of performance with as near stock noise as pos. Yeah, weird eh? I'm considering getting HFCs done at same time, so which brand will closest match my requirement? Cheers

    wider rear tyres

    My recently purchased 370z came shod with a virtually brand new set of Jinyus , no never heard of them either. Anyway, as soon as I can wear them down, and I'm seeing the traction control illumination more than I see my indicator light ( well I used to drive a BM), so that shouldn't be too long, they'll be getting replaced. Long term plan is a set of MPSS, but on perusing the forums, particularly the Americans they seem to like putting on wider rear tyres, up to 305 appears possible. Now I'm not contemplating such a radical departure but I was considering 285, possibly 295. Fronts to stay standard. Speedo will read marginally less than actual, this site shows the tech implications........ http://www.willtheyf...lculate#content Should add a bit of traction, will fill the arch, maybe look lowered and will look hot from the rear, never a bad thing My questions are, will this affect the TCS system, has anyone done it, and go on......lets have some opinions?
  9. Hi all, hoping to become the owner of a 370z very soon and have been devouring the forum in preparation. Must learn to stay away from the sales forum and in particular anything posted by a certain Adrian@Torqen! Anyway, these 2 are interesting me at the moment......... http://www.autotrade...rs?gallery=open bit loud and not sure if I'd tire of its gaudiness after a few months.....probably not! and.......... http://www.autotrade...rs?gallery=open the more grown up civilised option! Quick question if it's permitted, on the second car, silver with orange part leather, I thought the car would have matching orange gear knob and gaitor and handbrake gaitor? Have the seats and door cards been retro fitted or do some cars come with mixed colours? Cheers Andy
