Thanks, found and read the sticky. I get the point being made, there shouldn't be as big a difference with the as3 and as4 as both rated A in wet, but I do appreciate the tread depths will be different and obviously the compound in the front has deteriorated a lot more. I think after reading that I will change all 4 with the MPS4. It will make all the treads even and of the same pattern and hope it fixes the issue I have with the vague/light steering at the front. If not I will look at eibach arbs and rear alignment bolts. I just want the car to have a better feel, be more predictable and be a bit tighter. 

 

I will also get the alignment done.

The car is probably twitchy due to mismatched tyres tbh, or your geo, or both. Read the Sticky about mixed tyres for more info.

Cool, I will be there, I was accepted for the sports car show area.

The MPS4 (which is what I run as I cannot get MPS4S in 17”) are like a perfectly cooked steak with chunky chips, steamed beans and the sauce of your choosing. The MPS4S are like the same steak, but served by a nude Scarlett Johansson offering herself as dessert. 
 

In short, they’re both excellent but you’d be mad to not go for the latter. Just move up a width front and back to suit, they have them in those sizes. 

Thanks for the advice. I am only changing the front as the rears are only 2 years old and have a load of tread left, they are Goodyear Eagle F1 A4's. 

I find the car pretty twitchy at the front so want something that's an upgrade on the Eagle F1 A3's. 

Thanks. Just watched this video and have a better understanding now. 

My front tyres are now 5 years old and have developed UV cracks, although a fair bit of tred left on them it seems wise to change them. They are Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymetric 3 and I am not really a fan of them. I put the size 245/40/19 Y into Black Circles and they have the MPS4 for £170 each fitted. They don't seem to have MPS4s in that size. They also have the Eagle F1 A5, but not sure I want to stick with the Goodyear Eagle F1 route. 

Sounds a bargain. I paid more for Goodyear Eagle F1's

As above, I own a 2010 370z GT and had the gallery gasket done, it isn't cheap, the 370z is a cracking car to go on drives in. I try to do a road trip from Bournemouth to Wales once a year and it was spot on during the last trip to Snowdon and the Evo triangle in very heavy rain.

I had my car detailed by my good friend Ron - aka Valetnova, he is one of the top detailers in the country and did a great job on my car. Bringing the poorly finished Xirallic black sprayed roof the look I was hoping for when I got the roof sprayed, the fleck is now visible and also pops on the wheels. The whole car is super glossy and feels like glass. It had a 2 day, wheels off detail and the arches deep cleaned. The car was machine polished and paint protected with Carbon Collective Molecule, 2 coats of Platinum Wheels on the alloys and all glass received 2 coats of Platinum Glass. Ron is one of only 2 people I trust with my car and has proved on a few occasions to be great at what he does.

Car is looking good, but......

 

 

 

ONLY 1 PIC

Such a fine zed with that location showing off multiple light sources and reflections makes more photos posted mandatory

OK, here are the best of the shots from that shoot, these were all taken by Lew Mack Media. 

Yeah agree on the price. I think for a Group Buy he was looking at closer to £250 if people would commit. He is going off of the price of full carbon replacements in the US and trying to remain competitive, but as it is his business also make a bit of money. He is buying a set to scan and make a mold from, bought a 3D printer to print brackets and clips and this is the first thing he is thinking of doing, no interest and he will move to something else.

Replied 

These are now all boxed up and ready to go. For courier quote purposes If anyone is interested the box size is 190cm Long x 16cm Wide x 8cm Deep. The weight was around 2.6kg, but to be safe 3 kg. 

They would be ideal for someone who either would be happy with them not being perfect as when fitted they look OK still, up close the cracks are noticeable, the cracks are more like stress cracks than major structural damage. 

Hi, 

I have a set of used TS Side Diffusers, as per here.

 https://www.tarmacsportz.co.uk/370z-tarmac-sportz-frp-side-diffusers.html?gclid=CjwKCAjwsan5BRAOEiwALzomX9mkw5pCVHzrwiIAbGErVA2b9Jxjn21pIVasJyTMf60pnQ83FYP8LxoCwh8QAvD_BwE

There were on my car approx 2 years and do have a few cracks/chips. They look OK when fitted, but ideally need fixing up. I had them professionally sprayed in Xirallic black and when the light hits you can see the coloured flecks, but I would recommend them being resprayed. 

£40 collected from Bournemouth (they do fit in the Zed) or you can arrange a courier at your expense. I am happy to put them in a box and hand over. 

Thanks for looking. Too summerise one of the skirts has 2 stress cracks a mnd the other 3. Updated photos highlighting this. 

Cheers, looking forward to it, will be in a mini convoy with my mate in his GTR coming up from Bournemouth. I intend to wake up early and give the car a quick clean first. 

My battery was almost flat a few weeks ago, I charged it and its been great since, but after fitting the Evo r carbon handles I was told that if the battery went flat I would need to use the key and the hole is now covered, to be safe I bought the AA trickle charger from Amazon and it's highly recommended.

Will have to start calling you Mr Carbon

 

Door mirror covers in carbon too I see.......

Ha, thanks, but that's it for me now,. Can't justify £1k on a carbon roof or fenders, although the carbon Nismo Mk1 spoiler is very tempting for next year. I have tried to keep it subtle, but enough of a change. 

Yep, door mirror covers too, at some point I will probably get rid of those and get the OEM covers skinned. 

Since May I have had custom carbon skinned B-pillars, wheel refurb and roof sprayed and have been waiting on Evo-r parts from Torqen. I also picked up some Maxton Design skirts. These parts were fitted today. 

That was lucky, got mine at 22:50 on Wednesday. Seems they sold out pretty fast. 

Thanks, I went ahead and ordered them, they are being fitted a week Weds. 

Here are the skinned parts fitted to my Zed. The quality is great. He is looking at doing an initial group buy of 5 people for the full carbon replacements, he is also looking at joining this site to post up details himself.
