  1. They do look really good for sure :D Only issue I might have is im assuming since the sizes go up the tyre costs go up. But you said you run your stocks in the winter is it because they are better suited? Or just dont want to risk jacking up your nicer rims? (sorry for all the questions) Also good to know it all sits fine :) 

  2. 4 minutes ago, roadtrip said:

    I have these fitted to my 350Z, the tyres sizes that most choose to fit are 245/35R19 front and 275/35R19 rear. You'll also need some 20mm spacers fitted to the front hubs, plus the included 370Z nuts as already mentioned.

    If you dont mind me asking how do they feel compared to the stock rays? Just curious if upping to a 19" makes it feel any different. Also and recommendations on spacer brands at all? Also do you have the brembos on your car? Seen some forums while ive been researching this that seem convinced the brembos wont fit but im not entirely convinced by that.

  3. Ive got an 07 plate HR (july 2007 i think mine was one of the earliest HR's) I do love it to pieces, its got loads of grunt it sounds amazing the ride is firm but actually comfortable the only place i can complain is the road i live on has lots of deep short sort of divots and that does throw you around a fair bit. Ive checked the oil every two weeks since i got her back in march and even with some spirited driving I havent lost a drop. I drive 30 miles a day for work and sit at about 25mpg even when racing away from lights and even getting into a little bit of a race with an R32 skyline the other day.

     

    I did have some issues though, clutch slave cylinder died 3 days after buying it so that was a good chunk of funds, underside is fairly rusty but it did have to spend some of its life by the sea. So repairs to my brake lines were needed which wasnt too bad. Paid £10 to get my undertray properly reattached as some bolts popped loose. Im also lining up to have a proper body shop go under her and strip away all the rust and properly reseal the underside.

     

    But everything taken into consideration I wouldnt change a thing (well unless I could find a HR in the blue O.O) But little complaints and repairs aside the car owns my heart entirely and when you start hitting it hard and you get above 3000 RPM she sounds utterly fantastic. Ive never driven a 370 but i would assume its pretty much a 350 with a bit more grunt and some newer tech. Only complaint ive heard was someone saying they felt the electronics in the 370 step in a bit too often when you really want to get on it but no idea how much truth there is to that.

     

    Hope my little rant helps xD.

     

    Oh also the compulsive urge to upgrade and change bits, thats pretty strong too :p 

  4. From what i understand you jack from the diff at the back but not on the little metal fins as they bend and at the front you jack from the circular jacking point right in the center of the car almost in line with the front axle. I placed jack stands on the two lines of metal that run from front to back on the car and that seemed to hold up well. I havent tried to jack up the back of the car yet.

  5. Should see the MOT result the previous owner got for mine. managed to get a pass with no advisories with a snapped W brace entirely rusted underside and my front two tyres being near illegal. not to mention CO and HC of 0 and a lambda of 1.0 -.- couldnt have at least made an effort to fake it a bit better.

  6. For reference completely warm my car idles at a touch under 30 psi. Redline practically maxes the gauge and from a cold start i sit between 60 and 90 depending on how cold the weather is and how long the cars been sat. Im not a mechanic but 35 psi at 6K sounds bad, hopefully like willsy said its a dodgy sensor. I wont even begin to guess what else it could be although im sure there are some people on here who have much more technical knowledge than i do.
