Sorry if Im a bit late to the party, but Ive got a carbon Chargespeed diffuser, like this: going spare - we decided the carbon didnt look right with the blue the car was sprayed so sprayed the moulding on the bumper gloss black. Excuse rubbish photo but its the best Ive got - you can see the carbon just fits over the bumper moulding: Id be happy to offer it up as a basis for a mould or anything else as Im realistically not ever going to have any use for it - let me know if its of interest

I have to agree - Ive seen these posts and had no idea at all what they are referring to. Ive also got to be honest and say that as an active staff member on two other webboards, I think you are opening a whole can of worms thats just going to be grief in the long run. Weve tried everything from seller ratings to references and it still doesnt work 100% of the time. Let the buyers and sellers use common sense and sort themselves out I say

Oh aye, my car isnt standard so it may well be the car rather than the tyre. I also went from a 245 to a 265 (both on 10J wheels) so my fore and aft grip wont be as good as it used to be. Ive just not been overly impressed with what was sold to me as "up there with the F1 asymmetric asthe best tyre you can buy" - if others have had better results then its probs just me

Ive been driving RWD Nissans for about 10 years and been drifting for a while so go through tyres quicker than most, and Ive never found a mixed setup to be a problem on anything else TBH. Surely rear end grip/tyre communication/graduation of breakway with one tyre is the same as another, regardless of whats on the front? Not trying to be confrontational but Ive found they break away very quickly and without any warning in the wet - if you dont fancy driving with the VDC off then see how quickly it comes in on full bore gearchanges - with the Vrede's I felt it was quicker than anything else Ive run on the back.

Spacers for the standard wheels are an extremely good look IMO

Im a bit surprised - Ive got some on the back and dont think they are all that TBH ........ pretty good in the dry but I cant say I have been impressed in the wet. The RE050's on the front Ive got are much better and dare I say it, but the Falkens I had before I actually preferred ...........

I know its not politically correct, but do a massive burnout somewere quiet and if you have an "11" behind you you have an LSD. If you have a "1" then its an O-Pen diff. Alternatively jack the back of the car up so both wheels are in the air and spin one - if the other goes the same way its an LSD, if not its open. This is less fun than the first method.

You got me thinking there Trev - is there anything that the 350 is better than the Porsche for??

Glyn Hopkin in MK and Marshalls are the only two Ive ever heard anyone have a good word to say about - I know I can go drive a 370Z at Marshall whenever I want (and a GTR if I provide insurance but Im not that rich anymore ) Do you tell them you already have a 350Z?? Might swing things a bit

LM's not suiting a GTR? And if anyone can get Konig Afterburners with the Ti lip here for £1000, Ill buy 2 sets. Im not pissing about either

You dont like the Gram Lights! Man, I dont think I could ever part with those wheels - they look great on anything Number 3 is actually an american friend of mine, who has replaced those wheels with some that are identical (size and offset) to number 1 as it happens The more normal BBS LM looks like this (I know its not a Z33):

Errrmm.....that's four..... I know. two of them are my car too, sadly not the 380RS though I was going with the first three, but you cant leave the LM out - it really is the best wheel on anything IMO.

Im sure everything has been done after 14 pages, but my 3 favourites (on pretty much any car) Work Equip Gram Light 57f Pro Work Meister BBS LM (these are LM-R's). The greatest wheel ever made IMO.

I will assume you've never driven a renault sport clio then! Nope But shouldn't a RWD 2 seater sports car handle better than a retrofit hatchback!?? OUTRAGE Anywhere other than a racetrack of sweeping A road a sorted FWD hatchback with a decent driver will beat pretty much anything RWD. Docwra, owner of 1 350Z, 2 200SX's and 2 306 GTi6's

I know Im rather outspoken when it comes to wheels on here, but I do know my dish (and its actually called lip;)). Finding proper deep dish wheels with decent offsets in 19's is incredibly difficult - Ive been looking for about 3 months and havent found a single set IMHO, you need to pay decent money to get a decent looking wheel when you are looking at dish - these below cost me £1600 (please excuse rubbish pic but you get the idea): and these were £1300: You also need to get the fitment spot on as arch gaps/weak offsets will show up a lot more. I'd personally say those 2 posts down are too weak - Id be looking at 9 ET5 and 10 ET0, personally.

Nope - JP is in Vancouver at the moment but can still get stuff sorted - send him a message and Im sure he will come back to you mate

Its the tread of the tyre that cant be showing, not the tyre itself. If done correctly I think its a good look, but you need big wheels and small archgaps to start with

I dunno about you but apart from wheels & a drop, this looks pretty standard Its pretty standard bodyworkwise, but has SUS coilovers, Cusco toe/camber/TC arms front and back, HKS exhaust, and serious work has gone into making those wheels fit. Its definitely not standard and definitely definitely not OE though Really?? SERIOUS work?? I've seen this dodgy shoehorning of fat wheels and stretched tyres on plenty of chavved up Golfs, Saxos and Clios and it's not exactly hard. A lip roll, wheels which are actually too wide (and would be illegal with correct size tyres) and then stretching silly size tyres on to pull the tread back under the arch. Unless you're under 20, haven't developed your own personal taste yet and are driving a Euro box I don't see why anyone would do it. It makes the car look tacky and almost undriveable! Don't get me wrong, I like the stock look and I like a subtle kit with some tasteful wheels...but some of the stuff you've posted up is just crass!! Oh, forgot my disclaimer...this is just my opinion!! One to which you are perfectly entitled. Flame suit on again, but to my eyes most of the wheels in this thread dont fit right - its something that seems to be standard in the UK Z scene. To my eyes, the ones on that blue Z do. And its not "just a lip roll", but you seem to know all about wheel fitment and arch modification so I wont patronise you Remember, Ive actually contacted the guys who own the three cars I posted. I cant believe you think that looks tacky though, I really cant. You wont like my car much.

Fair enough. Makes sense to me to have the pictures and words in the same place, but if its photos only, its photos only. I wonder whether that was why the OP got a little unhappy about it being moved though - perhaps his intention was that people discussed their choices (and other peoples). Either way, Ill stop now as it seems my words will be gone fairly shortly as well

I currently own 26 9J+ JDM wheels with another 4 on order so you could probably say that

Why? Im genuinely interested here - the Z33 is a beautiful car as standard but it can definitely be improved, Im just interested to see how other peoples opinions differ to mine. This is a discussion board isnt it?? RTB - the cars Ive posted have all had arch work and suspension work over and above coilovers to make them like that. If you look at the first pic you can see the grey car has a different front bumper and different skirts - the back bumper is different too, but I cant find any other pics atm. The red car has a different lip and different skirts as well, but it is the wheel fitment that attracts me to all of them TBH. If your taste is for the OE look then fair enough, but I have to say Im surprised.

So you are saying that in your opinion a 350Z cant look any better than the way it comes out the showroom??

See, I look at that and think "standard" - it looks really nice, dont get me wrong, but a Nismo kit and GT4's on standard ride height is not inspirational. Thats OE Im afraid. Once again, I am not knocking the car itself, just the terminology
