Ebized Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Think its 35psi if memory serves, I wasnt a fan of the Bridgestones but they never felt floaty they just lacked grip, I would get the car checked for the transit blocks its alarmingly common for them to be left in. http://www.350z-uk.c...dear-aldershot/ So my course of action would be Pressures Transit blocks Full geometry check/set up A big +1 to this - OEM tyre pressures measured on cold tyres should be 35psi. The transit blocks (if left on the car ) are located in the front springs to stop the cars bouncing around on the container ships - so easy to see if you look in the wheel arches. Seen several reports over the years of thse being left on ZEDS....and not discovered for some time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattyp370z Posted February 21, 2017 Author Share Posted February 21, 2017 Thanks everyone. I've booked the car in for geo. The front end feels very sharp in the corners and slower speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bytespc Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I'm sorry but if you've just paid north of £30,000 for a car you'd take it back if it's as dangerous as you say, hell I'd take back a car costing a third of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richf Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Thanks everyone. I've booked the car in for geo. The front end feels very sharp in the corners and slower speed. Not at a dealer i hope , a proper geo setup is specialist work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I agree, but even a basic alignment back to stock settings should rule anything wrong there out for a much smaller cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aashenfox Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 (edited) Obviously its the transport spring spacers. P.S. And if it is... I'm not usually a compensation monkey, too many frivolous claims ruining everything, but I would definitely accuse the dealer of dropping the ball in a major and dangerous way, and ask if he's prepared to offer some kind of compensation. People screw up, it happens to even the best of us, but how we respond to those screw ups defines us.

Ekona Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 True, remembering that he's more likely to give you free labour than free materials. Lower cost to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richf Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 You can be compensated for a loss but looks like this chap got free spacers so he is already up on the deal 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the front end will of been stressed Did you get a photo before you removed them? Did they transport the car at any stage where they could of reinstalled them? Or is it likely they've been on since new Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 You won't get extra warranty coverage. Or if you do, I'll buy you a fish and chip supper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
