marginally - to the tune of 6mm a side. just swapping the tyres would certainly be the cheapest way of doing it. how much tread is left? if your tyres have still got plenty of life in them then just swap them over and see how they look. then if you dont like the look put wider tyres on when you get new ones.

DON'T put the rears from the 350z wheels on the fronts of the rotas. you'll have to run 275/45 on the rear to keep the tcs happy, which is all wrong. id go for 245/40/18 on the front, and 275/40/18 on the rear with those new widths. but then again, the new fronts are only half an inch wider, and the rears an inch wider - with the standard 45 profile tyres, you probably wouldnt notice that much stretch.

^ wheres whoosh parrot when you need it!

you need a Honda RDX aerial, PM Steve at Redline Styling. http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/62006-350z-honda-rdx-stubby-massive-saving-13-delivered-huge-stock/

go on then, whats the magic number?!?!?! im going to guess at 302 on a DE engine, that would be something!

might not make much difference - at the moment there's a teeny bit of snow forecast for the night before

interesting stuff, will be checking back throughout the day today for updates!

they seriously tried to organise a rally across Europe with only a single member of staff? jeez that was never going to end well.

http://engine-codes.com/p0340_nissan.html have a read of that, sounds like a camshaft position sensor to me. definitely try changing that first before moving onto anything else!

Just read this about caterham: 'British-based Caterham, who used Renault engines this year, have yet to score a point in five years in the sport and were last in the championship.' I'm sorry but.... :lol: good luck trying to find a buyer, why anyone would want to be involved in such a failure is beyond me - I wouldn't touch that steaming pile of doodoo with a 30ft barge pole!

well, I've just had a look at the Wikipedia page for 2015, and apart from the nosecone, I cant see any new 2015 rules that would mean you couldn't run a 2014 car - just change the nose to meet the new regs and away you go. however I really struggle to see how this is an incentive to buy caterham - after all, it was at the back of the grid when it had a current year car, it'll be miles off the pace if they use a 2014 car when all around them have upgraded to 2015 cars!?!

whoop whoop one week til trackday! hopefully the weather will be as it was this weekend, but the main thing im praying for is that its dry! Also Dan will like this... current collection of tyres on the beemer is now a Kumho, a Nankang, a Landsail and a Continental... so we'll be really good at putting power down out of right hand corners (which is good as Oulton has a lot of those!), but fairly terrible everywhere else...

Spend a bit more dough and get a cobra from CS, great bit of kit and lifetime warranty :-)

Might work in Dubai or California, but on the streets of huddersfield? Not so much!

Cool will have a look for it... Hopefully my fiancee will be subscribing me for xmas, fingers crossed!

If you drive it with 40s on the rear the wheels will be rotating relatively quicker than the fronts, so the tcs will contInually think they're slipping, and cutting power. Not recommended!

no winter tyres for me! but not really needed in my opinion in leamington, its nice and mild round here normally. plus my commute is on well gritted roads, so should be fine (assuming i can get off my driveway)

Standard size is 225/45 front, 245/45 rear. If you drop the profile to a 40 on the rear you will get tcs issues, unless you also drop the front profile to 40 as well. But then you'll need to lower the car to remove the huge arch gap!

just to confirm, what issue number is it? will probably pop to the shops tomorrow and buy it for some light café reading.

welcome the forum! the zed is a great car, bags of torque, sounds great with an aftermarket exhaust, looks great! had mine coming up to three years and the only maintenance its needed outside usual servicing, brakes and tyres is a wheel bearing, and some drop links. other than that faultless.

awesome cause, best of luck! will be following this thread with interest

+1 on ATE Super Blue, used that in our beemer the last year and a half with no problems. although watch who changes it, as they might object to the bright blue colour. although squidge sounds like it might brake hoses, do you have braided brake lines?

welcome to the forum - go easy in the wet, drive to the conditions. what tyres have you got on the rear? as even in the wet she's pretty planted when wearing decent boots.
