Had the same issue on mine, as above just removed the surrounds to get it in.

Love the plywood mod 

Lovely V1 and welcome along  

Only difference is the tyre width on them, internal rim size is the same. One was probably from the early DE and the larger supplied with the Rev up and HR.

@ZMANALEX may know more on the specifics of them, and even supply one for you 

Torqen can supply these, however make sure you are sitting down when you look at the price

Once my warranty is up, i'll be heading down from Wigan to Abbey for a service. (may add a remap too) Will I be the farthest travelled ?

Surely that can't be right, terrible design if the OEM space saver doesn't clear the OEM brembo brake callipers on the front 

 

With LMGT4's (which were a factory option right?) then wouldn't the 275 width tyre from the rear cause rubbing on the front? 

1st thing ive done is remove the space saver and take it to the local tip  save some weight, the saved fuel will pay for a roadside assistance/tyre replacement if ever needed.

But yeah clearance would be a massive issue, even more so on the 370 no way in hell would the rears on the Nismo fit the front, first corner would rip the wing off...

To answer Miller, I dont think any 17inch Spacesaver clears the front Brembos on the 350.

No, I wasn't thinking of upping from standard 285s, just checking my eyesight!

 

My factory size 245 Potenzas on the front look "stretched" as the tyrewall falls inwards from the rim quite noticably, as if they actually need to be wider. Your wider PS4s look perfect on the front with the vertical wall.

They definitely offer better rim protection too. I found with the Bridgestones they looked too narrow too, as if they should have been 265 as standard but they couldn't find any

She's looking good there Willsy. Coming up to a year of ownership myself next month.

 

So, the new boots - am I reading the rear tyre wall correctly, 305s??!! What size is on the front, the standard 245s?

 

 

Thanks Yeah 305 rears and 265 on the front, but do not go 305 rears if you have anything more than a 10mm spacer, they will rub on the arch trims under compression, even if not lowered :/ So now I need to get the spacers off the rear and have them machined down to 10mm

Maybe you can have those dipped 😁

Was a thought id had, but want to try get actual carbon first, lighter weight.... 

If there are any in my thread that make the grade feel free to grab them or let me know which ones and I'll send them over  

Found these on Tarmac https://www.tarmacsportz.co.uk/r35-gtr-exterior-parts/tarmac-sportz-nissan-370z-09-gloss-black-side-louvers.html

But want them in Carbon, anyone know of a supplier ? Been looking only ones I can find cover the B pillar too, I don't want that.

Cheers  

Yeah was mid day ish, lucky bugger great roads round there for the Z  

Can't wait for Spring and summer now, gonna unleash the Nismo up there

Clean the seats or rub your hands on some grease before you next drive and the reds will match perfectly

Hahaha loving the logic, think i'll pass on rubbing grease into the wheel though

Very nice i have the same mirror cover and the seal scuff plates, like that steering wheel😁

Yeah just wish the red was a little closer to the seat colour, but I think it works ok. 

Next on the ever expanding list has got to be the Nismo mats....

As title, spotted this: https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202112150552071?postcode=kw148yt&sort=datedesc&onesearchad=New&onesearchad=Nearly New&onesearchad=Used&include-delivery-option=on&radius=1500&model=370 Z&advertising-location=at_cars&price-from=500&make=Nissan&page=1

Silver V1 number 0033

Some marks on the Rays but reasonably low miles and a good plate on it FA13 ZED

Ok so, Xmas happened and the wife bought me a couple of bits i'd been looking at......

Passed you yesterday on the A702 around the Biggar area, ill narrow it down I was in a white van  circa 1pm ish

I bet your gutted mate, having only recently buying the spacers as well 

Well still have the fronts on, i'll keep hold of them in case I need to step down the rears on the next renewal. End of the day, ive wasted more than £70 on things before

Has the zed been lowered 

Nope totally stock springs etc 

Can't risk any spirited driving on a B road now though until they are removed :/

Ok, need to update this with a warning to V2 Nismo owners.

Do not fit the 305 rears if you have spacers, 15mm spacers and the 305's rub under compression. Gonna need to remove the spacers from mine. 

Fronts on 265 are absolutely fine.

I expect the price will make you vomit, if the rear wing price is anything to go on, i think 7 k may be more

Yeah they ain't cheap, but they never are 

Might be worth giving Torqen a shout, they do a full 15+ conversion kit. They may be able to source a V1 ? Or at least assist in getting one over from Z1 in the US as part of another shipment ?

Poor Zara was a little cold this morning, had goosebumps 

Exactly a year since buying the Nismo, time has flown by.

Treated her to a little wash today after the new shoes the other day. 

Wife thinks im a lunatic now though, going round with nail clippers are cutting off the moulding nipples from the sidewalls 

Love the look with the wider MP4S, more rim protection and fuller look.

Here's to the next 12 months and £1000's in extras
