I've just bought 4 michelin MPS4 after having the same dilemma as you, I really wanted the MPS4S but as we know they don't do the 4S in the 245/40 R19. I even emailed Michelin asking why can you buy them in the USA but not here and their reply was " we are Europe michelin and know nothing about the USA products and we have no intention of releasing the 4S in the 245/40 R19 in the UK. I spoke to my tyre fitter and he wasn't keen to increase the tyre sizes to 255/35 R19 front and 285/35 R19 rears as he said it would put stress on the diff and flywheel. So opted for the MPS4 in the stock manufacturer sizes....... I have to say they feel fantastic so far. I don't do track days so I doubt that I'll ever get the tyre that hot and worn that I'll notice the difference from the MPS4S lol. I ordered mine on black circles last week when they had the 10% sale on, so worked out better than the £40 off they normally do for 4 Michelin. I also run Pirelli P zero on my other vehicle and they slip like mad when cold and wet with TCS kicking in under spirited acceleration. The P zero really needs some heat in them before they start to feel grippy. The PS4 feel grippy right from the off. So with winter soon upon us I went MPS4 instead of the P zero for my 19's. Plus im always dubious when a tyre wins a review test when it was performed on the manufacturers test track for some reason lol.

All those running the MPS4S on the 370z GT with the 19" rays alloys, what sizes are you running front and rear. Seen as you can't get the MPS4S for the 245/40 R19 fronts, I've read people are running 255/35 R19 fronts with 285/35 R19 rears instead of the 275/35. So my question is what alternative size MPS4S tyre sizes can you run on the stock non Nismo 19" without messing up the sensors on the ABS etc. Cheers

Another Michelin MPS4S question...... because I can't get the MPS4S in the 245/40 R19 or 275/35 R19 can I increase the tyre size to 255/40 R19 fronts and 285/35 R19 rears. Or is it not worth the hassle and stick to the Michelin PS4 in the standard 245 and 275 sizes?

Thanks Zman, I'm away in a couple of days back offshore for a few weeks. I'll message you nearer the time that I'll be coming back home........ So does the spacesaver fit in the existing boot foam liner with the sub sitting inside. Or is a new liner needed?

Do you still have these in stock Zman? Also I know the subwoofer sits inside it. But does the pre moulded foam boot liner allow for it? Or do you need to cut it? Also theres no jack in mine. Is any scissor jack ok to use.

Yeah Davey, I was thinking of that lol, in the end I got it delivered on a transporter by a guy from Norwich for £240. An amazing price for 380 mile trip. If anyone needs a car moving cheap then let me know and I'll give you his details.

Finally home........

Ha ha Payco Spot on in a way.......... I was nicknamed after Pudsey the bear children in need mascot that then became changed to Pudzee as my old Graffiti Tag name........ I'm proper old skool

Ha I can't change the nickname I've had it since I was 14......... 45 now and there's no chance Pudzed is happening well not with my friends and family....... but on this forum then feel free to call me Pudzed

Ha ha....... Sorry guys I lived overseas for 8 years. I'll stop with the Zee i promise see my nickname is actually Pudzee though, just in case anyone thinks I chose the name specially to sound like I own a a Z......

Ok thanks for those, I'll definitely use one of those upgraded ones if it goes again. Cheers for the help

Ha yeah a road trip sounds nice, but I've just done an 800 mile trip in 24 hours to view and test drive it.......... my backs ruined. The car is currently being serviced and MOT'd so that's why I couldn't drive it home yesterday. I know the transportation will be pricey, but so is travelling to and fro to pick her up on Friday...... plus my ass is still recovering from the 800 mile round trip lol

Well I'm honoured to be part of the Zee club finally......... i nearly threw up parting with the cash....... but blown away with it. It's just having a full service and MOT then somehow I've got to get it home 400 miles, does anyone recommend a good transportation company?

Cheers Zmanalex, I'll remember CMS....... is there anything you can do to prolong the life or is it just one of those things? You get a good CSC or a bad CSC ?

Hey everyone, I've just bought my 1st 370z GT Edition, only 15,000 miles with full service history. However the clutch slave cylinder was replaced at 13,000 miles with OEM Nissan replacement. My question is......wow that seems very low mileage for it to have gone with such low mileage and is it likely to go again so early???? That's the only thing that worries me......... any help or advice??

Was meant to be test driving a black 370z GT Edition next week from Inchcape Lexus Nottingham......... car has now sold before I had chance to get home from Offshore......... anybody on here buy it??

Hi Everyone, Im after some advice, ive just received an email from the dealer of the Nissan 370z GT Edition im booked to test drive on the 18th April. stating the Car has 26,000 miles, and has service history his email states. We have the log book to hand which states 3 previous owner and one current. Total 4 owners. Service history shows 2 stamps. 2nd service on 11/04/2014@9793, 3rd service on 31/05/2016@23506 miles. The next service is due shortly of which me may need to complete for you. I will double check this for when you arrive back in the UK. MOT is due 12/10/2018 with no advisories. We have to supply the car with a full 1 year MOT so this will be completed prior to sale. Now ive done an experian history check and an MOT history check and the car has only covered 3,000 miles from 2016 to end of 2017, and 3000 miles since end of 2017 to now. So from what I can summise, theres no 1st service stamp? 2nd service done at 9,000 but 3rd service nearly 14,000 miles later. I suppose my question is does that sound strange and one to avoid? the car looks in mint condition from the photos, what are everyones thoughts? one to avoid? or a car thats been garaged but looked after? im guessing one of the previous owners failed to understand the 9,000 mile service?? cheers Pudzee

Thanks for the Advice everyone, Ive got a test drive booked on Apr 18th when I get off this Oil rig on a Ebisu Black GT Edition .............. Not with Jct 17 either I might add Cant wait..........

Ha cheers for the advice everyone. Humpy, sorry mate its the Manual GT Edition im after, failing that a Nismo........... struggling to justify the Nismo so GT Edition it is..........(fingers crossed). One thing that does puzzle me is why some garages state the Pearl white as "a rare colour" from what ive seen it doesnt seem to be a rare colour, what are other peoples views ? cheers

Ha cheers ZMANALEX "Going by the reviews on J17, I think that you just may have dodged a bullet" I did read a few bad reviews online for J17, but living out in West Wales theres generally nobody in Wales selling any 370Z anywhere close to home. Hence why I thought I'd try this forum. So if anybody knows any quality helpful dealers or private sellers that may be able to help me dodge that bullet that would be much appreciated. thanks in advance

Hi everyone, I'm a total newbie to joining the forum, have searched the forum over the last 12 months while I've been ummmming and arrrrrring as to whether to pull the trigger on the 370Z. I fell in love with the Nissan Fairlady 240Z while living in New Zealand years ago. Finally I'm at that stage of my life where im in my 40's having a mid life and want the 370z Manual GT Edition. I've been searching for the last 6 months and even put an offer in with Jct 17 cars on a GT Edition and was turned down on my offer of 14.5 -15k (that was advertised at 15.5K). however the car sold at that price and ever since then i cant seem to find a GT edition for any less than 17.8 - 20k. So now I'm kicking myself that I didn't pay the asking price!!!!!! I'm wondering if any of you guys on this forum know of anyone selling a Manual GT edition in either the Pearl white or Ebisu Black, (I'm not keen on the Rose black I'm afraid). feel free to drop me a line or comment cheers Pudzee
