Jeasby Posted June 12, 2016 Posted June 12, 2016 Hi all I've just become the proud owner of 370z Nismo, a black one. Registered Dec 14 but only 900 miles on the clock It's as good as new! It's my only car and I've been looking around eBay and the like. I'd like opinions on; 1. Do I change the "Nissan" front and rear badges. I was thinking of changing them to a "Z" badge. Maybe black at front and a silver one to the rear?? 2. It's my only car and I'm a little worried about winter driving. Does anyone have any recommendations on winter tyres (sizes, makes), fitting centres, purchasing replacement alloys for winter (what fits on the car!), or combinations there of? I'm thinking of this now as it may take some time to sort out!! (I know what I'm like). 3. Private plate? Never had one. Is it naff?? I'm new to the car, but have loved the shape of it for over a year and built up the courage to buy one, especially with so few miles on it. Now loving the drive to work! Cheers J Quote
BobbyZ Posted June 12, 2016 Posted June 12, 2016 Welcome. Re 1 and 3, that's personal preference, but as you asked I'd say no (particularly to different colour badges front and rear). Regarding tyres, if you're likely to drive in snow then you'll need winter tyres - otherwise the MPSS I have on my 350 have given great grip in the cold and wet. Quote
GMballistic Posted June 12, 2016 Posted June 12, 2016 Welcome aboard J. The badges & private plate are always going to be personal preference. I don't mind either tbh but if it was my car I'd save wasting money on the private plate & either put the cash towards a nice exhaust system or just more petrol money. Winter driving ~ Honestly I wouldn't waste your money on winter tyres. We just don't get bad enough weather to justify them imo unless you live up in the highlands of Scotland somewhere. Just drive to the conditions and you'll be fine in any RWD car. Quote
Suffolkz Posted June 12, 2016 Posted June 12, 2016 Don't get a private plate, you go from the guy with a nice car, to the guy with a nice car that also wastes money IMO Quote
modo Posted June 13, 2016 Posted June 13, 2016 Hello and welcome badges and plates are a personal preference. sent by my Zed eating a Welsh cake Quote
Stan Posted June 13, 2016 Posted June 13, 2016 Hi! I think a majority of people on here prefer the Z badge rather than the Nissan badge. As for plates, I own one as I got it as an inheritance, but I do tend to notice different plates on cars so I'd say go for it Quote
LloydZee Posted June 13, 2016 Posted June 13, 2016 I'd definitely say a private plate looks smart (if it's kept classy) Quote
sipar69 Posted June 13, 2016 Posted June 13, 2016 Welcome to the forum. If it helps, here's mine with private plate and Z badges (slightly different to the Z badges most people go for but I like em ) Quote
Adrian@TORQEN Posted June 13, 2016 Posted June 13, 2016 Welcome to the forum! Changed your exhaust yet? Quote
Payco Posted June 13, 2016 Posted June 13, 2016 Private plate for the win and change the badges. Welcome. Enjoy the ride. Quote
Adrian@TORQEN Posted June 13, 2016 Posted June 13, 2016 No. But shouldn't have watched this!! There you go: http://www.torqen.uk/armytrix/nissan/nissan-370z/3504-armytrix-nissan-370z-exhaust-system-niz37-cb.html :lol: Quote
