^^^ This. But get MPS4, not the older MPSS.

This thread is utterly painful to read.

Standard cats will do the job.

I love how you edited that just to add the dig at the end I meant choosing a tyre because it’s pretty is daft.

Good looking tyre ffs

I don’t like P Zeroes personally, they’re okay tyres but the price you pay I’d rather have the PS4S. Run the sizes in a tyre calculator and just keep within the standard ratio difference and you’ll be fine. I run PS4 on my car and they’re lovely, but the 4S are definitely better.

Did you call? 4S on 19”, do they not do either size in them? What are the options? On mobile so it’s a pain to check myself.

^^^ Basically all of that.

It only says Mich until I see a tyre in the flesh...

Ssssshhhhhhh

The Michelin’s aren’t expensive when you take into account the wear rates of them, they work out cheaper in the long run.

If you’re going to get an Impreza then get the 2.0L as it’s much stronger, and get the STi as the gearbox isn’t made of chocolate either

Unless you enjoy understeering everywhere, of course...!

I would do that ASAP, nexens are utter shite.

Brembos are fine, but I’d change the pads, discs and fluid for sure. Falkens aren’t really what I’d class as performance tyres but if they’re that new you could sell them to offset the cost of new tyres. Bearing in mind they’re the only thing actually touching the ground, it’s worthwhile putting the best on there that you can imho. You’ll definitely want to put your money into brakes and tyres if you’re doing track days, although if you’re doing drift days too then maybe keep the Falkens to use as sacrificial ones on those days?

First make it stop, then make it handle, then make it go. Old, but true. Go and sort your brakes and tyres first, then change the suspension and ARBs, then worry about power. A well driven NA Zed with the first two parts done will be quicker and more fun than one with just a blower strapped to it.

Unless you live where there’s plenty of snow, you don’t need all season tyres. MPS4 will do you fine, bearing in mind the risk you take running mixed tyres (see the Sticky at the top of the tyre forum).

They’re gimmicky, and give you less control over the actual input. I had one, loved it for a couple of weeks, then realised it was losing me control of the car on the sharper modes when coming back on the power mid corner. I binned it. It’ll make no difference to a 0-60 whatsoever that I can see.

I’m not stopping you, I’m encouraging you

Or you could buy a cheaper car to insure, if you can’t quite stretch to the insurance on a 350Z. Plenty of fun stuff out there that’s more affordable insurance wise

Yes

Bruce Willis has got awful teeth in that photo.

So you actually think there will be a new Zed with a nice NA engine?

Another vote for Demon Thieves. Even if you don’t buy from there, they’ve plenty of stuff to try on and test. And don't even consider chinless if you’re even remotely thinking about motorsport. When it comes to the helmet, try and ignore budget (up to a point!) and get something that you find comfortable and snug. I wanted a full carbon Arai but it wasn’t comfortable, so I ended up with a £300 Sparco instead so it works both ways.
