Thanks for you advice mate I have been having a good look around and i think im now really leaning towards the Z2s's in GM. They seem a good wheel all round, and are ticking all the right boxes for me. I was wondering if they come in a 9j for the front? (ET20)? does that give you any extra lip at the front? Or is the 8.5j the only way to go? Thought you might have come across this when you ordered them Regarding the TCS issues do you think i would need to go 255 front if i go 285 rear? Has anyone out there done this? any negative's? Thanks a bunch mate, i think you have helped me make up my mind Is is CS and RR that sell them on here?

MattG - Nice one, thats what i was looking for, good to know they improve grip too. Motor looks nice mate I was looking at the GM ones mysel to match my zed. Do you know if you can fit 285's on the back? Oh and are you lowered. Tarmac - My excuse is that i dont have any lil ones...... yet By the way i saw these on ebay, Dotz GTR's for £670. What you guys rekon? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/19-LIGHTWEIGHT-ALLOY-WHEELS-ONLY-NISSAN-350Z-/130415515367?pt=UK_CarParts_Acc_Wheels_tyres_Trims_Car_Rims_ET Think these are better than the Rota's?

Was watching these and managed to get em for £30. (70 quid new)

Ahh i see, cheers mate. TBH i wasnt so sure if i liked the wheel being alezan myself. However with the handbrake and gear lever i dont mind either way.

Nice one, well i will ley you know if i do

Hi guys Following on from my last thread (silence the beast), i have established that i need to see an exhaust specialist to fit a box or something.. So as the title says really, anyone know one? Im close to the Leyton/Walthamstow/Chingford areas. Thanks guys

Nice one guys Tarmac- sell your motor and buy a grown ups car, you know it makes sense . Thanks for the advice though. Biggy and Digsy - I did read those threads, and any others i could find thanks for the recomendation though. I got loads of info on fitments and apperance etc. By the way guys, just to be %100 sure, im looking at following set up Rota GTR 19x9 ET20 (front) + 245/35 Rota GTR 19x10 ET20 (rear) + 285/35 This staggered package is available from CS. Will these offsets be flush with the arches? (give the agressive stance?). Anyone with pics of this setup? Just to be sure again, is that the tyre combo to go for also? Im pretty sure they are from research, but just wanna make sure there will be no rubbing issues or anything else on a non-lowered zed. Although i know the GTR are a light wheel that is designed for zed fitment and thus should not harm the performance, minimally. Just wanted to get some user review/feedback on this issue specifically i.e: ride/handling/traction/cornering after fitting GTR 19's please and also are there any reports of bucking etc Thanks againg lads

Yea i noticed that too. It is a bit odd, i wonder if anyone else has this, maybe its a JDM thing Needs a new gearknob though, this ones showing some wear. Old owner was a ring wearer i think.

Thanks. What about performance/handling, any adverse effects there? Have you lowered you zed at all? Pics of wheels in question to enjoy: (which sticker you refering to)

Are there any reports of these wheels messing with the cars ride and handling? I do not want to spoil the cars performance just for looks. Also I know they are more expensive but i have been thinking about the rota GTR's in GM or the linea corse Z2S's. The write up seems to be good for both. The GTR's give the more agressive look and the Z2S give a clean look. Leaning towards the GTR's at the mo. (Bet Fakeindian's releived ) Another descision is 18's or 19's. I havnt seen any bad reports about running 19's but i wonder if it does change the car for the worse or better, or not at all even. Remember its an everyday London driver

Looks a nice motor, but TBH i need to sell the skyline. If you can sell your zed and the skyline is still around than your most welcome to buy it

Thanks Beavis Nice one guys Tarmac - Whats the spec of your zed? TBH i would prefer to sell the car rather than swap it to another one. Sell yours and buy it

GLWTS I know it can be difficult to shift a modded motor.

Me too i liked the Zed for a long time

Yep, i think i will speak to some about adding resonators to the decats and/or adding a box. Found this article about the tokyo drift 350z which was running the APS TT kit and turbo back exhaust. Seems they used some Magnaflow mufflers to quiten it down. http://www.insideline.com/nissan/350z/2006/photos/tokyo-drift-test-drift-king-twin-turbo-350z-gallery.html

Hi guys I am selling my 350GT Skyline after over a year and a half of happy ownership. The car is a 3.5 v6 with 290bhp with lots of extras some of which are very hard to find, low mileage with the preferable 6mt and desirable premium pack. It has been well maintained and is in very good condition. This particular model has a optional and rare creme interior which makes the cabin a great place to be. It is fun to drive and makes a good GT car and everyday car, easy to fit four adults and a big boot to boot! It is very rare and a real head turner. The spec: 2003, 48000 miles (approx). Blood Red with desirable premium pack: - Sought after 6 manual transmission - Full creme interior (rare) - Leather electric and heated seats - Electric folding & auto dipping mirrors - Brembo brakes - Xenon headlights - BOSE stereo with TV & Satnav (currently Japenese but can be converted) - Gunmetal 18" alloys (2 new tyers) - Nismo side skirts - Dual climate control - Air conditioning + more As mentioned the skyline is in very good condition and has been garaged or covered when parked on my drive. Regularly cleaned with high quality products, polished and sealed regularly and waxed with Zymol. Leathers have been treated with conditioner regularly and the car has been just serviced a few thousand miles ago. This car really has to be seen to be apreciated, the spec is very high inside and out, it is very unique and i have not found another Skyline quite like this one for sale. A great car that is sporty to drive, great to look at, rare and pratical, full of features and reliable too! £9995 reduced to £9000 for quick sale More pics here http://s881.photobucket.com/albums/ac13 ... e%20350gt/

Thanks that sounds like a good suggestion, i was not really inclined towards the cats for the same reason, after all we remove them to reduce resricivness. I just want to take the edge of the sound. I might pay yourslef a visit sooner or later for a health check and perhaps some advice. Steady - I generally agree with you but i was just airing the options, TBH its not my preferance to do anything i dont have to, i think its awesome as is. As i said the noise is only really bothersome when cruising at a steady A road/motorway speed or having to accelerate a little to maintain speed, then there is a lot of drone. Its probably has alot to the with the combination of 3" true dual and the 3.5" decats. The car is my everyday driver, where as it was the previous owners weekend car. Thanks for all the suggestions guys. I think i need an exhaust man to look at it, perhaps a combination of resonators/boxes (if theres space) will take the edge of it while retaining the best part.

should get it on the ramps today, then i can have a see what im dealing with

I think i prefer the dotz (though i havnt seen either in the flesh so its hard to be certain). Can anyone running the dotz tell me all the specs i need to order them in? Also do i require spacers to fit etc (or to get a reasonable stance). Any good places to buy them from? I heard a search and didnt find much on these wheels on the forum

The axis Pentas only fit in 20" so their out. Im still trying to weigh up between the Fuel's and Dotz. Wondering which ones look better in the flesh and if there are any weight and quality diffreances. What do u guys think?

I agree i think two ecv's might be a mess and also could get expensive if i go electronic. I think the decats are 3.5" straight pipes as on the APS webstite, i couldnt see any resonators but i havnt had it on the ramps yet so not 100% sure. TBH the sound is growing on me, its just when cruising at a constant A road or motorway speed they get a bit droany and invasive. Maybe fitting resonators would be a good solution and alot cheaper than high flow cats. The evc is good as its more of a volume control know rather than a permanat muffling.... will see how it goes. I read up on these and agree with you about the backpressure issue, i mean 2 3rds closed would be for pottering around anyway, so i cant see it having any real negative concequences. And wide open there would be little to no differance.

Marzman - your the guy i was refering to in my first post i think, regarding the one who broke his wolf's. Thanks for the heads up, they are nice wheels tis a shame wonder if there are any similar ones around. Rising Power - Thanks for the info. Those wheels are but they are more expensive than the Fuel 5's and Dotz, however the price seems to be for 20", wonder how much 19's are. Are they better quality? Jay - fakeindian said there rubbish i shoudnt get em too . I think i might still go for em though ( i smell a conspiracy ) Still interested in feedback on quality and if one are better than the other. Any one running the Axis Penta's, might as well throw them in the mix too. Thanks guys

Nice one, that sounds like a very good idea Forgot about those. One question, im not sure as im a zed newb but isnt the APS dual all the way, this means i will have to fit one to each side? Any links or recomendations to good ones, tried and tested perhaps? From what i understand you the more you close the butterfly the more it quitens the exhaust. But the gases still have to flow through the same exhaust so what differance does it reallymake? Also does restricting the flow cause any problems with too much back pressure or anything else. How did you find them, did they really work well?

It is running well and pulls very hard and smothly. The seller said it was mapped on Tesco 99. I prefer Optimax myself. I will try to get take some vids just for you mate
