  1. Tar fella Should ideally but might come across a lovely pair of headers before then.
  2. Turtle Wax Hybrid Sealant after a quick wash, will definitely continue applying through the autumn/winter. I was the very last person to take wet spray wax/sealant serious but for the effort the results are amazing.
  3. WOW that picture second from bottom is unreal!!! Grip was next level!! felt like a quattro, might lap times too for the full GP circuit. Had a fab day, tiny bit of rain after lunch could have made it eventful but luckily all was well.
  4. Yeah sadly nowhere near where it needs to be
  5. Rant alert Generally speaking I think members on the Z forum are of a more mature nature and will remember a time when cars had 'options' from factory. It absolutely annoys the **** out of me when people refer to options and spec. spec to me always meant tuning not ticking options. While we're here, we hear kids go on about tuning and all their language consists of is my car is stage 1,2, 2.5, 3, 4, 4.5 blah blah. And truth be told they've never end held a set of cams let alone know anything and tuning. I grew up when engine tuning meant intake, exhaust, cams, pulleys, headers, injectors, hp comp pistons, valves, springs, crack scraper. Not software and downpipes ffs.
  6. ^ those were meant for the Nismo allowing for the larger bumper
  7. Parked side by side, the 350z looks like a neat little sports car
  8. Ive ran mine to switch, so its not permanently active. From now until the spring I clear my exterior windows, headlamps with cold water and drop the bollard - so its nice to just lean in start the car beforehand.
  9. I park next to one most days at work and compared to the 350z, imo they look over bodied and boxy.
  10. It's been years since I've used cruise control, does the system deactivate when the clutch is pressed or brake pedal or both?
  11. That's the problem with the 350z, to move away you need to spend at least twice as much to go little bit faster, to handle a little bit better, ending up something not a rare, all for the pleasure of larger service bills and will it sound as good as the VQ?....... I think a clean tidy 350z still looks good on the road as there's only one newer model after it, unlike the M3, Boxster or Cayman.
  12. For clarity the F1 Supersport is a completely new tyre and sits above the asymmetric 5 (not it's replacement) but below the Supersport RS.
  13. Something for the winter https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F183949189424
  14. Has anyone else done this and in reality is there any adverse effects, providing the car is started when in neutral? I've never had a car that wouldnt start without the clutch being depressed and don't see the benefits? I've read operating a dry clutch release bearing every morning, causes additional internal wear compared to operating once the clutch is already spun up.
  15. Just in time for the winter wheels
  16. Any of those top three tyres Continental, Goodyear or Michelin you'd be hard pushed to tell the difference on road from a ultimate performance point of view however when needing a set of 19' tyres I went for the Continentals. The reviews show the subjective steering feel of the CSC6 to best, with the sportiest feel and the least road noise.
  17. Car shampoo of choice Pre wash spray bottle Wheel cleaner Bucket Wheel brush Wash mitts £2 (£1 to jet off at the start, £1 to jet wash off at the end) Pull it round the corner to dry off or steady drive home.
  18. I'd match the fronts, then next time round upgrade to the Goodyear Eagle F1 Superports http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Article/2019-Tyre-Reviews-UHP-Summer-Tyre-Test.htm
  19. I'd find a local BP that has a buy time jet wash & bring £2 and a bucket of suds.
  20. That's does look alot smarter, subtle but enough as the splitter before was very flat faced if that makes sense. Form and function, which will help too on track pal!!!
