kemmel88 Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 I have owned my 350z for a few months now, amazing car and from what I can see a very supportive forum (which cannot be said for some brands). Very early days in terms of mods, for now looking to get the basics right. 99k and all is standard. So far have focused on new tyres, axles and suspension (more on that elsewhere)... and have took it to the bodyshop for a tidy up. Looking forward to sharing and getting your insight.

kemmel88 Posted October 22, 2019 Author Share Posted October 22, 2019 Thanks all! Have had the car a few months and really enjoy the unique character, especially compared to new cars. Looking forward to getting it all in shape soon. Quick question, how are these like in the winter, still pretty usable apart from in deep snow? @AntelopeSam - I'm based in Rugby, how about you?

AntelopeSam Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 I live near Coalville in Leicestershire but am from Coventry so spend a lot of time there as well! Davey_83 above is the midland meet organiser and puts on a good few meets a year. I've driven mine in freezing conditions and it's all been fine. Caught me out a couple of times when it's been perticulally slippy and I've been feeling playful. I think there's quite a lot of pedal travel so it's easy to control the throttle.

EcoFriendlyAL Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 My 350 is my everyday car all weathers. Had some poor tyres on when I bought it. Just fitted the Bridgestone Weather Control A005 and really notice the difference in braking. No doubt someone will come along and tell you your head will drop off if you don't have Michelin Sports of some form. Admittedly I'm no boy race but do like a blip of the throttle occasionally, of course within the speed limit and when it is safe to do so. https://www.giga-tyres.co.uk/bridgestone/weather-control-a005/225/45-r18/95/v/gi-r-377634ga Found Giga very good price and got them in about 3 days.

Lolli pop Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Hi- just joined as well. Now we are heading into winter - hope the z can drive as well and cope with the weather in particular snow, though being rwd and over 280bhp - it will be fun finding out. My tyres are Bridgestone 050a front but rears seem to be non brand - so may have to look at replacing these soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lolli pop Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Thanks ZmanAlex - I have started my own but thought I’d say hi to all the others. whilst I got your attention would you be able to provide new anti roll bar links, and new banana bar. The more I’m driving I can hear there is definitely some clonking noise from the front at low speed over uneven surfaces and have been reading up it could be these that are the issue. Do you provide supply and fit? If so where are you based? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 I can supply as all parts are in stock. I am based in Perth so may not be geographically suitable for you regarding fitment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
