i think the thread should be titled 'Some truly hideous Z's'

What suspension you getting? You'll find when you put the Nismo's on the front wont be too bad but it will look quite high from the back and a drop will make it look 100 times better! Top tip: i'd coat your wheels in lots of wheel sealant while they are off the car as i learnt the hard way with mine and one of the outer lips got chipped and the laquer started to peel off.

that azure is only with the 18's though, the 19's look so much better. Red does look gorgeous, i wanted to swap my black one but would have to put so much money towards it to get a similar mileage car. good luck with your find!

look awesome, i want some!!

+1 thats the brilliance of the whole concept, it can be a number of different people. I agree though that lap in the r500 was just pure driving class!

Yeah i'd cut them into the bumper slightly and want them in a black finish. I'll see what the exhaust people say and keep you posted!!

this is more what i was thinking.... Picture was taken before the car was lowered hence its looks very high!!!

I dont want anything that size, what i am hoping to do is just have some custom ones put onto the existing backbox rather than install two new boxes which i dont think looks right.

Just an idea at the moment, but im thinking about putting quad tail pipes, i want them straight cut so they dont stand out too much. If you imagine the pipes off an e46 m3. What does everyone think?

Cheers Ian, at least one person replied to my post!! :lol:

http://pistonheads.co.uk/news/default.asp?storyId=19221 Fairly impressive stuff.... I had read that all they had done is uprated the supercharger!!

i have just received my ebc redstuff pads, will give a review once fitted. I wouldnt take too much notice of that WARNING post, plenty of people have them on here and rate them, i am sure there are better fast road pads out there but i think for the money they are a good upgrade over oem. The pads in that post had blatantly been mistreated! And it was from an MG ZR forum...need i say more

That is STUPID ...and cool

it's no azure is it mike!?

I know as soon as you see one in the flesh parked next to the 350z it will make it look so dated and the 370z will look so I saw one at the autosport show and the design looks fantastic, really compact and muscular...a suspension drop, spacers and it will be one mean looking car.

Fair enough, personally i do think it looks very good and when you compare against its rivals, namely the TT and Cayman i think its as good looking if not better looking than these cars and the fact it doesn't have the badge is a bonus for me. The only thing that puts me off is what they will be worth a year down the line but i appreciate all cars are losing money at a crazy rate at the moment. I look forward to your photos Stanski when you get invited down to Westway...i may just happen to be passing and call in

You cant compare the two really, in terms of reliability, running costs, insurance the Aston would cost you alot more than the Nissan. Agreed on looks, performance, style the Aston wins hands down but then again its in different ball park for most of the people who will be putting their name down for a 370z.

Literally a few minutes of them talking about it so you didnt miss anything really mate, just nice to see one sat there!

+1 i would say 275 on the front and 295 is too wide and will spoil the handling

shame they didnt drive it, but it looked fantastic and when it goes against the Cayman it will be one good test!!

by an earlier car then mate!

I dont mean change the tyre size, just the brand. I have 19's on mine and it makes hardly any difference so dont believe any of that rubbish. I run eagle f1's but people rate loads of brands on here. Pilots are excellent but pricey. My tax is £210 for an 04 car, it is set to go up but not up to £400 as it was meant to this year...phew!! Not sure if it depends which year you buy so check this. The boot is actually quite big its just the shape is a problem because of the rear strut. You can fit plenty of bags, shopping in it, its just rigid stuff like boxes that dont fit well because of the narrow nature of the boot and the sweeping boot lid. Go and take one for a drive and i guarantee you will love it!!

definitely worth changing, i find the std bridgestones pretty poor in comparison with others.

Yeah it does (i hope ) In my opinion the heavy feel of the car helps the handling, because it feels so planted but when you push it, it becomes very agile and is a fantastic drivers car. You've got to watch it on a wet road but other than that the grip is brilliant (i find the std tyres rubbish but put some good rubber on and you'll have no problems) I use mine everyday, do about 20k a year in it and i never get bored of driving it, its a great cruiser but then turn off into some twisty roads and it becomes a proper sports car. Just go steady if you haven't driven RWD before, naturally its very different and takes a while to get used to it compared with FWD.

they are quite a heavy car to be honest you'll get used to it after a few hundred miles. Its not uncomfortably heavy and now when i use other cars i think how horribly light the steering and gearboxs are. Its a mans car
