  1. My tyre of choice are Falken 452's. They grip well, don't wear too fast and they're pretty easy on the wallet. Suspension, the geometry and the profile of the tyres will be big factors on how it feels as well. If you're throwing a heavy car like the Z around fast corners, you need to get the camber angles right for the width of the tyres.
  2. Reminded me to buy glue and brushes to build mine.
  3. My only gripes are that the icons showing if there are new posts or not contrast poorly. And the huge amount of padding in the margins between posts. I have a big monitor, but I can only fit three one-line text-only replies on screen at a time!
  4. Here we go, grabbed some while it was still light. Hopefully these show what you're after.
  5. Not really I just eyed everything up and guessed. I think i was quite lucky. Knowing what I do now I'd get wider rears. Next time around for the back I was thinking ~12" wide banded steels, zero offset and a 300+ tyre.
  6. et20 back and front. Easily a grand including tyres. (Falken 452's) 114.3mm or 4.5", it's a yank PCD 9.5's front and back, just different tyres Afraid not, it doesn't get much spotlight. Also fitting required spigot rings, though I'm unsure what size they were.
  7. 265's on the back The arch lip needed flattening on the inside to make this work without eating the sidewall on bumps.
  8. Phone camera makes everything look ugly.
  9. I'm running 9.5" Grids up front on a +20 offset on a 255/35/18. Lowered 50-60mm, no tracking issues. I have D2 356's behind them and you could fit your fist in the gap between the spoke an the caliper. Pictures can be provided tomorrow if needed.
  10. They played the 41 card. It's a lie, contest it.
  11. Any import that is not on the emissions database needs only comply with the non-cat test, regardless of age.
  12. Try Graham Sykes, my annual premium is £500 fully comp. 24 years old, clean license, 7 years no claims on a '98 Jap TT all mods declared.
  13. Mine is normally referred to as a/the Fairlady.
  14. 114.3mm or 4.5" It's a yank size mostly.
  15. My Google-Fu returns these numbers. 300ZX 2+2 TT gives 183.6 HP/T Mazsadpeed 3 gives 181.3 HP/T Up to 60 is anyone's guess. After 100 I'd say that the Z's extra power & torque coupled with a lower drag coefficient will leave the Mazda behind.
  16. What is it's kerb weight?
  17. White wheels on a Black car can work, but those are not the right style for it. Lets see those Rays.
  18. The rule of thumb for ideal wheel size is that the wheel diameter should be close to a third of the height of the car and four times the width apart. That should translate into.. LWB 20" - Too large 19" - Acceptible 18" - Ideal 17" - Acceptible 16" - Too small SWB 20" - Too Large 19" - Too Large 18" - Acceptible 17" - Ideal 16" - Acceptible LWB works best visually with matched F&R of 18" SWB works best visually with matched F&R of 17" (mainly because of the spacing) Throw ride height adjustments and heroic offsets into the mix and then things start to change.
  19. No way did a car cover cause swirls over the whole body. That's what washing it with a foam sponge does.
  20. 2013, the year the Z loses its nads and becomes a Prius.
  21. If you're going to be recording the output of that camera, it will need to go to a recorder that can overlay a time & date. Without that on the recorded video it cannot be used as evidence.
  22. Not the off the shelf stuff! Their while-you-wait paint mixing sevice. The areas I've repaired with that you'd never know had been touched.
  23. Code is probably KH3. Halfords made me a rattle can for touching up odds n sods.
