  1. Give WLMG in Slough a shout chap, they have on and if you say you are with the club and ask for G he will look after you
  2. The zed has staggered tyre sizes in terms of rolling radius, most garages don't pick up on that. You need to match what you had before interms of RR
  3. You're a braver man than me, given there are no pics of a black one Depending on when you get it, I might have a quick trip down to see it Why is he brave? Black is black.................. Black with smoke wheels, not sure it will go
  4. Thats what it was designed for. Equally at home as munching the miles as hooning around a track. I would say its slightly skewed towards GT car as it comes from the factory, but easily made into a proper sports car with a few simple handling mods
  5. Knew it wouldnt last long, welcome back bud. Hurry up and get to 20k posts so we can ban you properly
  6. Looks fine for me, when I download it too, so doenst appear corrupt on the server. Try a forced refresh (Ctrl-F5 on IE and FF, not sure in Safari). Also try clearing any caches in the browser to force it to redownload everything.
  7. Probably should have updated this thread earlier, but as many of you know I will be recieving my Quartz 370z 7AT Black Edition around July time Just want to say a big thanks to WLMG in Slough, the chaps there are excellent and looked after me and my million questions very nicely. I fully recommend them, the chaps you need to speak to are G and his boss Abid. They are looking forward to hopefully doing an open day for us at some point to generate some interest in the 370z, roadster, Black Edition and GTR when they become an official HPC. If you are thinking about getting a 370z and are around the Slough area head on down and find G and mention the club sent you, they will look after you. Same for servicing, speak to Mark the service manager and he'll look after you too Gonna be a long wait, hope you can all put up with me!
  8. If you want to borrow some for 4 months, I have a set spare They are very nicely made chaps, with whopping K&N filters. The look, feel and quality is spot on, and fully justifies the price. They guys and gals at Stillen are really nice too, excellent to deal with, delivery is very quick
  9. +1 Would a smaller variation of the BMW shark fin design not look better? Some kind of sharkfin would be my solution
  10. I gather not necessarially - well on the 370 at least - but we will let our tame 370 to be guinea pig try first Definately a bumper off job, but its not hard to whip the bumper off Might be a while before we find out if it fits the 370z if you are waiting for me
  11. Really shows what a good tune and some selective parts can do to a car
  12. Not biggie I have something amazingly similar in my loft, but for a 3.7l Gaz: they are currently on offer at $499 if you didnt know. With shipping usually $150 for a single one, thats £420 plus duties if you get one yourself - so making at least a £50 saving with a GB
  13. You're a braver man than me, given there are no pics of a black one Depending on when you get it, I might have a quick trip down to see it
  14. If it were me, I would swap back to OEM and run it for a while to make sure there isnt another problem. Also take pics of both to see if we can see any difference that may cause the problems. Cant imagine what it could be
  15. You had a whole 6 days to buy it, and was avialable cheaper to you too

    HID kits

    Depends on how clean the cutoff is on the car to be fitted to. On old Leons, they looked great as they had a very cleanly defined cutoff so you didnt blind other drivers. A lot of cars though have crap ones and while you think you have really good lights, you are infact blinding all other drivers on the road! I f'in hate it when little scroats fit them to saxo's etc as you end up being blinded! This is why all modern xenons/HIDs have lenses rather than reflectors
  17. Welcome to he forum and 370 ownership - hope you can join us in Wales on the 22/23 May weekend - I don't want to be the only 370 owner there amongst all the 350's +1 - mines not landing til well after Wales meet, but get your name down. Glad you met G and Abid, they are a cracking pair of lads Have you ordered a Black Edition then? I take it you are getting it in black if you have, will be good to see one in the flesh. You getting a manual or the 7AT? Having to wait for mine as its in Quartz.
  18. Get some pics of the satnav and its various screens, I forgot when I went! You're better off going another time too if you want to have a proper poke about
  19. I'd say somewhere around 12-15, but if you are looking for hellaflush approval, I'm with Ian, you need something extreme. I'd say +12 is about what you want.

    Wheel dilema

    I'd get them PC'd hyper silver or black
  21. In theory yes. Doesnt always work perfectly in practice, but a rim 1.5" (~40mm) will get you a 20mm wider rim each side, so given the same offset will move the rim 20mm closer to the wheel arch
  22. Of course, thats a given, its all a comprimise
  23. Think the general consensus is 5w-30 on the road and 5w-40 if you go to the track. 5w-40 is that bit thinker when its hot that it can survive higher temps a bit better.
  24. yes Not sure its as easy as that, but yes, you keep roughly the same offset as wheels get bigger. Tehnically the offset should get larger numbers to compensate I think. Any good wheel vendor should be able to help with it. The main thing is to start of with the width and offset of a wheel you like and work it from there to make the ones you want to match Depends if you want wheels that = win or wheels that = fail +12 on a 10.5" wheel is perfect fitment (Awaits Docwra to say that anything above 0 is a failiure ) Yes its all personal preference, hence why I suggest finding someone with wheels you like the look of (fit wise), find the width and offset and them make sure whichever you get they have the same relative offset I'm sure though to keep the wheels the same "flushness" to the arch, as the wheel gets wider you generally need a larger offset to keep them in the same place
