So I’m after a bit of advice I’ve trawled through the forum but can’t find anything specific so wondered if anyone can shed some light on my dilemma!!

Im looking to change the wheels on my 370 (GT model) and have been looking at various options. I want to run whatever I get without spacers (personal choice I’m just not keen) but also want to bring the wheels out a bit more using the offset of the rims.  I’ve pretty much decided on the rims I want but the fronts don’t come in the exact width and offset I want (9.5j Et38) they do however come in 10J ET38. I was planning on running slightly wider front tyres anyway so this isn’t a great issue

I’ve run it through the willtheyfit calculator and it gives the below output. I know it’s not a great deal but it does say it’ll be a few mm closer to the strut which concerns me.

For context my car isn’t lowered but I’m considering a minor drop using RSR springs (10mm down)

Yep that! I’ve got HKS drop ins in mine

Looks good quality! May i ask how much did you get stung on import tax (given that the pillar was $350) isn't it about 20%?

Can't give any insight on the gauge question though sorry! Maybe contact Abbey, they are close to you.

Thanks for the responses guys. I’ve actually got some yellow stuff pads in the garage that I bought a while back so may just throw them on. The discs have a slight lip so if they are too far gone I’ll just go for standard discs when it comes to replace them

So I'm looking to replace my brakes in the not too distant future and plan on 'upgrading' at the same time.

Does anyone run these EBCs on their 370Z, I'm interested in how these perform over standard (non-grooved) discs or opinions on quality of these in comparison to the likes of StopTech.

Also I'd be interested on opinions of how noisy these are.

For context I use my Zed occasionally for work (generally a few times a month but tends to be longer distances when I do i.e. 100 - 300 mile trips) and for leisure purposes.  I'm not ruling out track days in the future, but have not used it on track yet.

Any opinions appreciated.

Did the latches lock properly before the hood was changed and did you have the flashing light before?  if everything was fine before I’d be going back to the fitters to get them to rectify it!

Just an observation but probably not best to advertise on a public forum that you've broken current Coronavirus restrictions.

Quick wash over with ceramic suds before I head to Caffeine and Machine tomorrow 😁

So after much deliberation on what wheels to put on my 370 GT and looking at numerous aftermarket options I'm pretty keen on getting a set of 370Z V1 Nismo alloys. I've considered buying new but ultimately I want them white so it seems bonkers buying brand new to then spray them immediately.

On this basis i'll consider any condition V1 alloys as long as they are structurally sound, i.e. no cracks or welds. Money waiting for the right set.

I appreciate these don't come up often but if anyone is considering selling drop me a PM.

Thanks

@andy james quick question, apologies for my ignorance but do you send club passes or are they sent closer to the event? The reason I ask is that i requested a club stand pass which showed on the order but wasn't included in the tickets sent to my email straight away by Eventbrite.

Yeah I completely understand!

I did just quickly nip out to the car and checked and there was actually a selectable an option for oil pressure (although it showed in red not grey on the list of parameters that can be monitored) I added it as a gauge but with the car running it just sat at zero so obviously there is no input, which would explain why it was in red!

Unfortunately I don't think so 'out of the box', I think there is only a pressure switch fitted as standard for the oil on the 370Z (someone feel free to correct me) as I would've liked to monitor the oil pressure too. 

Looking at EcuTek's knowledge base they say:  The 370Z does not have an oil pressure sensor as standard.  To add an input for  oil pressure, sensors must be set up in the custom sensors section. So in theory it's possible but would require a sensor being fitted and added as a custom input in the EcuTek settings.

I've only had it installed a day so haven't had a chance to go through everything, but there is a massive amount that can be monitored.

So I’d been toying with this for a while and decided to bite the bullet and get the EcuTek Bluetooth interface for my Zed. I like the ability to switch maps without mucking about with the steering wheel and the fault code reading/clearing function

Thanks to @Mark@Abbey m/s and Scott as always for their service!!

I’ve been playing with the dashboard settings and wanted to try to mimic the Zed’s ‘style’ and have come up with this so far

Anyone else using one of these and have any dashboard files they’d care to share?

Also interested, maybe propose a group buy to him!?

@TheOracle71 I've PMd you about this!

Thanks for all your replies, he's decided to give this one a miss after talking to the seller.

If anyone knows of any (known good ones) up for sale do let me know

I didn’t want to say it...but yes 

I did think that. I’ve had that in the past with my own cars. I remember clearly getting an advisory for antiroll bar bushes one year then nothing the next (I hadn’t touched them)

Wasn’t keen on the idea of waterless wash but it’s good for doing door shuts and the petrol filler area, which I always forget until after I’ve washed the car!!

Here’s my haul. I’m pretty happy with the selection given.

Apparently (according to my wife) mine have too! I'm out at work at the moment but will post my haul up later!

Anyone else got theirs yet? Still waiting for mine although one of my friends ordered a box after me the same day and got it Monday (15th)

Yeah I checked that too and have pointed it out to him! Shame he wasn’t in the market for one 18 months ago when I sold my 350.

So a friend of mine is looking to buy his first Zed and has found the following one on ebay:

2004 Nissan 350Z , MANUAL | eBay

I just wondered if anyone on here knows the car etc.

I'm going to give him some pointers on what to look out for (having owned a DE prior to my 370Z) but it would be good if anyone here has actually owned it and can shed some light on its history.

Any help appreciated.

Nice selection, I just got an email this afternoon from car chem saying this:

Please be assured your order is currently awaiting collection from our warehouse and will be sent to you after the weekend.

Looks like I’ll be waiting a bit longer ☹️
