Welcome JJ. Have you test driven one? The first thing I would say to you is get that out the way. If you dont like it then theres no way you're going to get it anyway! On the more practical side, I do a 75 mile round trip, 5 days a week for work - equating to about 20k miles a year. I get paid 37p a mile and that does cover all my petrol and most of the servicing/maintainance. I say most as I tend to go for upgrades when it comes to replacing stuff, and 37p a mile doesnt really cover it! I get on average about 29 miles to the gallon and that does include a bit of A-road fun on the way home. So as far as the money side of it goes, I think you will be covered if you drive sensibly. Also the car is great at munching the miles. A couple of weeks ago we had one of our North Wales drive outs and I covered over 600 miles in 3 days and felt no worse for wear than if I had just driven to the shops. Get out for a test drive and see if you like it. Certainly dont let money put you off it Oh also, dont be put off by the heavyish steering and clutch. You get used to it in no time and other cars feel light and flimsy afterwards!

Yup F R Dia. Diff OEM Rays - 225/45/18 245/45/18 2.73% My Rotas - 245/35/18 265/35/18 2.23% 20s - 245/35/20 275/30/20 -0.88 Now my Rotas arent the OEM spec rolling radius, but they keep the front to back stagger. Thats where yours goes wrong I think. As Andy says, you need 30 profile on the front. That puts it back at 2.75% stagger which would be fine. Sure Phil/Kev/Adam will correct this if I'm wrong!

Wheres that from then mate?

Sounds good. I only just make it up the multistory!

Heres a quick go at it with a white background Someone smarten it up and I think it will look ok. Someone with a steadier hand could probably recreate the front tyre that is cut off ( I only have my touchpad and it doesnt work too well for that, need a tablet for that)

Numberplate sticky pads worked for me.

Nice comparison manc350z, especially from someone who has run the Z4M for a decent amount of time

:lol::lol: The wheels and lights in the front are a hangable offence!

More like until the powers that be get their GTRs its futile for forum members to post on this. When they dont want to be associated with the Zed owners they wont care if we all come together in one site amen Although I probably shouldnt have said that. Over here it will be taken as the joke it is, but over there, I'm not sure how it'd be taken

I would think its more for track days when you need the towing eye in and dont want the scoop flying around

No comment from you?! Time to give up people

are you going to demonstrate the alcantara console ;-) TmJak will when he gets round to it... im waiting on the results of his before i do the same Is he doing it himself or getting someone to do it? I got some material on the way to wrap some of my interior, but wouldnt attempt the centre console as its a bit fiddly Getting a professional job done... as far as i know. What are you planning to wrap?? Just this and that. You'll see when I'm done as long as it doesnt go tits up

Just need to find a decent place to do some shots! New car parks are usually the best as they are better lit, could try Blasingsmokes multistory at somepoint, but I think you have to pay all the time boooo! Dont know of any new places that have just opened though. Could get some rolling shots too Wonder if there is anywhere around Reading (dont like the look of the Oracle up ramps!) we can do next Reading meet?

Welcome. Hope you enjoy the stay. Will be good to see some pics of your car. Not too many TT Zeds around here, its pretty expensive to do in the UK

My mistake! Tranny baiter! What a welcome!

Now I see why you need more space

weakend

Welcome to the forum. Get some pics up of ya car, we always like to see new ones

Paul, you have PM

Just been looking at tyre sizes and from what I can see they are all wrong: E.g. F R Dia. Diff OEM Rays - 225/45/18 245/45/18 2.73% My Rotas - 245/35/18 265/35/18 2.23% PH Car - 235/40/18 295/30/18 -1.71% Now I know mine are slightly smaller rolling radius than they should be, but the ration to front and back is right. In his it is miles off and I wouldnt be supprised if this didnt kick the TC in all the time!

Rumoured to be around 330 bhp. Thats what the G37 has, but I would hope the Zed gets a little more as it appears to have in the past. Hopefully they can push it out to 350BHP

They look like they're stock just with a yellow overlay. Try ebay, they sell the tinting overlay film Will make your lights look yellow on the road though and may fail MOT?
