Loadmaster

I was travelling in the opposite direction and only caught sight of him when he flashed me - apologies for my delayed wave!

Welcome along!

Booted the Mrs Audi off the drive, I'm not parking on the road I said 😂

Quite right too!

When we’re you there? I’ve literally just got back from longleat Center Parcs 

Sorry, I gave the impression it was a recent photo. This was June last year. We frequented CP Longleat for quite a few years when the kids were, well, kids. I was visiting relos in Frome nearby, so thought I'd pass by for a photo.

It's just one of my favourites of the car so far.

A quick blast down to Wiltshire and Somerset.

Undergoing some TLC at Abbey.

Welcome along - a black bonnet! I'm very partial to a black bonnet as a contrast feature - looks great!

As well as Japfest, check out the Ace Cafe meet on 11th June in the events section here. 

Even the bottles and labels look attractive!

Nissan still deciding whether to sell it along with selling aftermarket parts. 

 

 

Is it not being sold in Europe or the UK?

^^^^^

That is stunning.....

Welcome along!

 20k miles out of a set of rears for me, and that’s on 10k miles a year 50% commute and 50% proper thrash. Can’t really complain at that at all  

With PS4s?

I can't get my crappy Potenzas to wear down - they seem to have as much tread left (and that's loads!) after nearly 3k miles since I bought my Z a year ago. I can't justify binning them, so I'm probably stuck with them for another 12 months at least! 

I take it easy in the wet/damp with the Z anyway and in all honesty the Potenzas seem fine in the dry whilst commiting to some lairy driving, although if I jumped into a Z with MPSs fitted I'd most likely feel the difference.

I recently renewed my Nismo insurance with LV - just a tad under £300 fully comp, max NCB, with Ecutek and HFCs declared. The "specialist" companies didn't come close, with one even asking for the mods to be done first before they'd even look at quoting - how nuts is that?!!

Not great, to say the least. Bettered by pretty much anything other than dirt cheap budget tyres tbh. The 888R are good, but they’re a trackday tyre. 

What I'd thought, maybe better as a track tyre brand.

How about Toyo? They're big in the world of racing in Japan, US and Oz.

No idea what their road tyres are like.

Welcome along, get some pics up of the three!

I had my tune done at Abbey Motorsports, i would definitely recommend them 👍

 

Haha yea it’s surprising how much it adds up, I’ve already spent over £5,000 and there are still plenty of things i want to do!!

 

I keep looking at the Judd T311r alloys, they look good

Abbey look after my Nismo, I wouldn't go anywhere else. It went in for Ecutek and HFCs last November.

With regards to the rear wing, what make/brand is it and did you fit it yourself?  

Next one, Saturday 5th February.

That looks stunning, welcome along.

That must be a rare sight, a 70 plate on a Z.

My experience:

 

Michelin Pilot Sports on the 370 (and A45) were excellent, wet or dry and and used by many on here with 350's/370's who like me want to push their Zeds to the limit and have tried various other makes beforehand. 

 

Pirelli P Zero on both the Cayman and the i30N are fine in the dry, but two quite different cars and in the wet they fail to give the confidence of the Pilot Sports.  Would have opted for the MPS4 on both, but on one axle (I can't remember which) on the Cayman the size was not available and nor were they an "approved" tyre by Porsche....wtf? All down to Porsche not bothering to test them, from a reliable source.

 

Too early to think of a change on the i30N but if the MPS4 are available when I have done a few more miles I would not hesitate to use them and dump the P Zero's, due to their poor wet road ability.  That said, the electronic LSD diff has resulted in the car that is by far the quickest/safest on a favourite roundabout in the dry or wet.

 

 

 

Are these the Pirellis that Hyundai have "specially" developed for their N range?

I use Hankook Ventus EVO2 and they do a solid job. I'd recommend them. 

Holy post revival Batman!

When my Potenzas finally wear down a little more and I can justify replacing them, alongside the 'BIGGER' names I've been looking at alternatives.

Hankooks are one of them - you obviously think they suit the Z?

Haven't received mine as yet🙈

I think "Mr February" is the best shot - but then I am being biased!

You'll love it, all top photos.

Received mine today as well, thanks Stu.

Great work with superb photos!

I paid £23,500 for my late 2017 370Z Nismo (16.5k miles, full history and immaculate) a year ago in February 2021. Out of curiousity a few months ago I put the car's details into WBAC and was quoted, at the highest point, £27,500. It's now down to about£24k, but it's obviously a year older now and with 19k miles on it.

Looking at AutoTrader regularly, as you do, dealer prices still do seem high in comparrison, but there are a lot of 350s and 370s that sit there for weeks on end.

Ekona's two points above are very relevant.

If I were nearer.

Looks good though.
