  1. I'd be interested in, ehem, hearing Miss Lebanon's views on politics (yeah, politics sounds about right), sometime but I'd say if I must reserve one Ethiopia it is Who cares if I can't pronounce her name?
  2. we're doing a 2 day sale on these to get them gone! One set of black, one set of silver left!!!
  3. mate I'm sorry but if you say you can't feel the difference in ride quality between 18" and 20" there's something wrong with your arse could be due to the fact that you are too concentrated in keeping the 400hp beast at bay, but honestly the difference is MAJOR. It's not so much the wheels that make the difference, its all about the tires The sidewall of the tire coupled with the tread compound are really what makes or breaks a setup. Tires account for the overall 'feel' your suspension has. Its common to have a "soft" suspension approach teeth rattling when fitting tires with ultra stiff sidewalls, yet springs that are super stiff can be made more than tolerable with the use of tires with a softer wall design
  4. top stuff Max! Looks fantastic! Use it well!!! Post a sound clip if you can for the "uninitiated" to hear
  5. body roll is governed to some extent by springs and shocks, but moreso by swaybars. Think of a see-saw that you played on as a child, with the shock being the fulcrum point. The sway bar (or technically, they are called anti roll bars) job is to limit the amount of roll you have on that axis. The larger the sway, the less it can "twist" and the lower amounts of body roll you have Adam
  6. Ehh...not impressed - I'm officially 3 situps and an eggwhite omelet away from the above abs he fits in the CGT? Very tight car
  7. the CS would be best suited for you all and the typical "B" roads you have to endure!
  8. the fender? yes, it is Soon to be fixed with a complete respray, in fresh silverstone paint. I've found this color to be absolutely impossible to match and I've given up trying lolol
  9. to follow what Jacko said, you want at most a 35 aspect ration (sidewall height) on 19's, if not 30's Here is my car with 19x9 and 19x10 wheels, and 265/30/19 front, 285/30/19 rear - offsets are +23 up front, +24 out back (though I am using a 5mm spacer in the rear right now, so effective offset is a +19). To further complicate things somewhat, you get the situation where not all tires are created equal. For example, a 285/30/19 tire obviously is for a 19 inch wheel as the name suggests. However, its also "supposed" to be 285mm in section width - such is not always the case. Just like not all "larges" on shirts are the same physical size (varies store to store), or like jeans from one store and jeans from another, despite being the same size, are not cut quite the same, such is the situation with tires. You've got tires that run a bit narrower, and some that run a bit fuller. My own tires are Bridgestone RE050, which run on the fuller side of things, making them even wider than their "size" suggests Getting the right overall look is about the relationship of your tire to wheel to car - when these three things play nicely, you get a car that not only looks purposeful, but performs equally well. Push the wheel and tire too far out, and you suffer massive alignment issues that can take time to sort out (ie, offsets down into the low teens with super wide or super skinny tires). You'll find these cars to handle in a very "darty" fashion. It can be all corrected with proper alignement specs but not every shop is capable enough to know these specs, let alone dial them in.
  10. lomoto - could you pm us your shipping address so I can get the quote for you thanks! Adam
  11. Weighs just 3 lbs, and uses a vacuum molded dry carbon technique to make a bar that is both rigid and lightweight Priced at $359 shipped to the UK! Orders can be placed via credit card (just call to order) or Paypal to z1sales@z1auto.com Thanks!
  12. sorry for the not so great picture silver mesh, to me, makes it look blatantly aftermarket I prefer black mesh, as it makes it appear like the bumper belongs there. I searched for a long time before finding the mesh we offer as an option to the Aerosync:) It's very Ferrari-esque, and is powdercoated black, so the finish never chips or fades
  13. Does the weather get sunny that far north or is it just perpetually gray
  14. Good talking to you Max We'll get it dispatched Tuesday for you...you will LOVE it!! Adam
  15. our price on the NISMO exhaust is $1349 shipped to the UK....and we have them in stock!
  16. Chris I don't think we got your email - can you resend or just send a PM here? The lip attaches with screws and double sided tape - very rigid mounting, so no worries of it coming off
  17. The stepped lip on these not only makes the wheel stronger, but also shows its a proper multipiece wheel - its a very upscale look, similar to what you would find on the higher end European wheels for the Porsches, Ferraris, etc from firms like DP Motorsports. I love these wheels because they give a bit of a retro look, and they are a proper wheel fitting of a sports car The Gold wheels are now SOLD!!! Silver and matte black still available These look just as much at home with stock Brembos as they do with a big brake kit as well
  18. all the NISMO aero parts fit the UK spec 2002-2007 350Z, with the exception of the front lip - the bumper on a 2006-2007 Z is different, and NISMO does not offer a lip for these models at this time
