Stew Posted January 10, 2007 Posted January 10, 2007 What sort of miles will you get from them Nick? I would imagine it'd be low! Quote
Nick_MSM Posted January 10, 2007 Author Posted January 10, 2007 6-8,000 I imagine (hope it's not less!). Very pleased with them so far so we'll see how they wear. If it's madness then I'll change back to Potenzas probably. Quote
Stew Posted January 10, 2007 Posted January 10, 2007 Not as bad as I thought but it'll still be a pricey consumable Quote
Andy Posted January 10, 2007 Posted January 10, 2007 That many miles will be achieveable so long as you don't rag it EVERYWHERE!!! We did a full set of a Porsche race spec car and he did them in 1,500 miles!! Will pm you a price asap dude! Failing going for the R888's, have a think about the T1-R's instead. Very good grip and we do a lot of work with some Evo clubs and it is by far and away the tyre of choice over the Potenza's. Cheers, Andy Quote
steve_b Posted January 10, 2007 Posted January 10, 2007 R888 where getting bad press on 7's for odd wear, most went back to AO48's Have those issues been sorted as they were very new then. Sorry forgot to say your new car look great.... Quote
Nick_MSM Posted January 10, 2007 Author Posted January 10, 2007 Thanks Steve. Can't afford the petrol to rag it everywhere! Have had T1R's on the 350z, thought they were fairly good. Always used Potenzas though on my last Evo. Quote
Baptist Posted January 10, 2007 Posted January 10, 2007 Congrats on the new motor, Nick, sounds like a beast! Quote

I ll try taking a pic tomorrow. Well, i didnt, but someone else on the forum did ... so here you go http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/download.php?id=1378 Quote
charlied Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 How weird. Have also just paid a deposit on an FQ-400 this afternoon... in silver! Gonna really miss the zed but it will be great having something more practical (slightly) again BTW ur evo looks lush Quote
Nick_MSM Posted January 19, 2007 Author Posted January 19, 2007 Cheers Charlie and nice one You on the MLR? Your realise just how good the 350 is on petrol in no time at all Quote
charlied Posted January 19, 2007 Posted January 19, 2007 I am m8 but there's no banter there its all tech! Im not too concerned about the fuel cos i live in town but I am worried about the paddle clutch its a biatch and not covered by the warranty!!!! Quote
Nick_MSM Posted January 19, 2007 Author Posted January 19, 2007 Clutches are awful on them, mine has an uprated tripple plated one that should last fine. I had to change the clutch to an uprated one on my Tommi Makinen which is about a £1300 job so not cheap. Just take it easy on the launching and your be fine, presume the 400 has an uprated clutch so you should be fine anyway Quote
charlied Posted January 19, 2007 Posted January 19, 2007 Yeah some tricky to use Alcon paddle i believe. Thanks for the heads up ill look out for you over the summer Quote
Kev946 Posted January 19, 2007 Posted January 19, 2007 Nice motor Nick. Love the carbon splitter.. Yeah some tricky to use Alcon paddle i believe. Thanks for the heads up ill look out for you over the summer I've got an Alcon Paddle clutch on the Cossie. It's a little grabby but not much different than a standard clutch.......except it'll handle 600 bhp... Quote
Nick_MSM Posted January 22, 2007 Author Posted January 22, 2007 Had an Alcon clutch on my Makinen, was fine mate so don't worry. Better having stiff foot than an empty wallet every few miles Went to first Evo meet of the year on Sunday, good turn out and fun drive home Ordering some carbon mirrors soon to match the splitter/wheels/spoiler etc. Quote
