DonCool Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Exactly! We're supposed to be talking about Zeds here not correct spellings or the appropriate usage of the semicolon - Jeez! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 No reason we can't educate people on both the Zed and the English language Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docwra Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Can afford to do both (the mods I'm planning are super cheap). Only problem is the tight Northerner in me not wanting to "waste" money when it doesn't seem necessary. Do a massive burnout on the old ones then, get your moneys worth Im usually the dude that points out that different tyres front to back isnt actually going to kill you (it wnot, Ive done it), but particularly at this time of year even I wouldnt be running two different budgets on the rears - the Zed has a lug of low down torque that can catch out even the best of us, for the sake of a couple of hundred quid its not worth it. However, the people saying that turning ESP off will kill you? Learn to drive boys, I never turned ESP on it 6 years of ownership and didnt have it at all in a considerably more powerful series of 200SX's, how those boys with TVRs dont end up in every hedge/bus stop is impressive too. Sure, if youre not confident then keep it firmly in the on position but its hardly a self destruct button ......... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock_Steady Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Well since 'grammer' isn't a real word, it's pretty hard to have any of it. That being said the comma, periods, and eroteme are grammar Sorry, not it's not, it's punctuation, not grammar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strudul Posted December 9, 2016 Author Share Posted December 9, 2016 Well since 'grammer' isn't a real word, it's pretty hard to have any of it. That being said the comma, periods, and eroteme are grammar Sorry, not it's not, it's punctuation, not grammar. Debatable. Technically you are correct, but these days "grammar" and "orthography" are synonymous and pretty much interchangeable. The meaning of words evolve over time and new meanings become generally accepted with sufficient use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davey_83 Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 I have MPS3 up front and N8000 on the rear (how i bought the car) done two track sessions this year and had no issues. Next time il be looking to axle match at least to the same brand of tyre, manly for aesthetics. Ive read as standard the 350z at speed has slight understeer on turn in, so to have a pair of rubbers up front with a bit more bite than the rears can only be a good thing.

Stutopia Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 I wouldn't worry about your rubber, I've got one MPSS on the RR, a unicycle wheel on the RL, the FR is a dustbin lid and the FL is huge poppadom. Grip isnt that bad and it's cheap. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 (edited) A poppadom on the FL?! Man, every one KNOWS you only ever put Indian cuisine on the driven wheels! I dunno, bloody amateurs. Edited December 9, 2016 by Ekona 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brillomaster Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 popadoms don't have the sidewall stiffness, you need naan breads. I also find deep pan pizzas give good turn in response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brillomaster Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Does nangkang have good rep round these ways? they're definitely a budget tyre, but id rather them than anything evergreen/riken/landsail/other super budget tyres. thing is, even in 18" or 19" sizes, the difference between nankangs and something i'd consider decent but cheap like hankooks or yokohamas is only like a tenner a tyre. Sure avoid the premium brands with premium price tags if you must, but the lowest i'd ever go is a falken, hankook, avon, kumho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
