Hey Guys, another great video. What ever happened to the clio? maybe i missed something but I went out and bought a clio 182 for track day use after your first vid months ago. I must admit i love the clio 182 as a track day hobby and have done 5 trackdays so far all with the clio being stock and have loved it. Did you sell it? i get the move to the 350z but ill think ill stick with my trusted clio for now. Keep up the great videos!
I think Gary and I will do a quick video on why it's gone shorty. In essence though, although we loved it and it was a very cheap way of getting a lot of track fun, very few people actually watched the videos. I work full time but am trying to do CZcams full time eventually so simply can't afford to spend 15 hours making a video that isn't viewed. It's a shame as it was a great car but I guess the Internet's not interested in a humble Clio.
I watch most of your videos but must admit I didn't watch the second half of that series. It's hard to put a specific reason to why it didn't engage me like your other videos. I am a fan of the 350z videos so far though. Personally, I think your Kia Stinger video was one of the strongest, most facual and entertaining videos thus far. I would love to see more reviews/opinions of cars similar to that format. I can understand that is must be quite the task to obtain review cars, I.e. arranging to borrow other people's cars for review, dealships, insurance, timing etc.
Honestly you guys make amazing quality content. And you guys have great chemistry between you. I wish you all the best. I can see your channel blowing up in the near future. 👍👍
Another great video. You guys are getting better and better!
Thanks mate!
Another quality video from you two. 👍
Cracking video lads, the one I've been waiting for!! Will be ordering a set for my VarrsToen's!
All UK Zed vlogs are gold👌🏻
Sweet! A car youtube channel that has their priorities straight: Maintenance --> Brakes--> Tires --> Driver --> safety --> suspension --> maybe power and aero eventually :). Nice presenting to boot! Glad I subscribed!
Thanks for the sub!
Loving this series :-)
Thanks Iain!
The flex on the tyre’s boys could be tyre pressure.Great video 🏁🍻
Keep up the good work mate!
Thanks Squire! (ps, lovely mustache)
Cheers bud. (ps, lovely 350).
I got one myself earlier this year, such a wonderful thing.
Holy shit! Don't fear, Squire is here!
Good to hear. Done much to it?
Just a full service and such. I've done about 7K miles in 5 months, and It's not let me down yet! Also, I'm glad to see you also opted for the tan interior. A fellow man of taste. Though after watching your M3 series, I'm now seriously considering one.
Great videos guys, recently bought a HR 350z myself so these vids are massively helpful!!😊
Thanks mate. Nice choice of car!
Thanks for the video
Great video!
Great stuff as always boys 👍👍👍
Thanks mate.
Where you've been guys! My evenings were getting boring . But this evening you've fulfilled it😀😎.
Cheers Mabs!
Nice vid !
New intro music isn't as bass-heavy as the old! Great video as always mate.
Cheers Sam
Liked the old one
Great videos mate I'm a big fan I preferred your previous music was much better
Thanks Matt. Sorry to hear you don't like the new tune.
Could even see it in your faces, how much more you trust the car now.
Great video as always and very good improvement, 6s is a lot for "just tires".
Greetings from Bavaria 🤓
Yes, the car was a bit of a handfull before!
Very beautiful car, i have owned a 350z and a 370z. Great video on the tyres. I would highly recommend a 5/16ths plenum spacer for the plenum, it will improve your median track average times by a good 1 - 2 seconds on a lap, this is because the plenum spacer on the DE VQ engines produces a NOTICEABLE gain in the mid range of rpms which is what you seem to be in coming out of corners, itll help you get more giddy to the top end of the bar, youll notice acceleration improvement from about 3.5 rpms to about 5.5 its a cheap modification and costs only about 100 USD
Thanks for the top tip. Will look into it
I love watching my car (albeit not blue) on your channel. 💙
Your next video should be plenum spacer fit 👍
It's on the list. Gonna soft the initial problems then tackle suspension upgrades. After that POWER!
great video as always chaps. Did I miss an episode? but what happened to the Clio?
Thanks mate. I pinned a comment about what happened to the Clio above. In essence we loved it but no-one watched the videos so it had to go.
Loving your work matey, keep it up. I've got a 350z and coming out to play on trackday... curious where/how did you mount the camera behind the seats? Gives pretty good view 👍
Thanks mate. Its simply a GoPro sticky mount on the boot glass.
I really like the fact that the thread dept is different on the inside walls for camber. Wonder if the PS71 also got that.
Just found your channel. Very informative on this car. Fellow zed enthusiast here.
Thanks Tom!
Great stuff chaps, another quality video, as we expect from you guys.
Thanks as always mate.
I've got a set of Kumhos on my 3 series! Good, cheap tires
Neil... Tey the throttle body and plenum spacer. I’m curious if these mods work as well as the sepctic-tanks on CZcams say they are.
I’ve had 3 full sets of PS91’s on my E46 330ci. They’re unbelievable. Even round the Nurburgring, the really surprised me. Wouldn’t recommend anything else for fast road and the occasional track day, and they’re so much cheeper than the Super Sports (of which I had before the PS91’s).
Try out the new Hankook S1 EVO3. About the same price, more rigid side walls
Waoww that made lot of difference between the laps .... I bought toyo proxes road tires for my track car and for the front i bought bridgstones and only from tires i improved from 1.52 to 1.42 so around 10 second faster thn before ...so tires makes lot of difference on track ...
That's quite a difference.
Great video - do you plan to make "350z buyers guide"?
Will do but need to have had the car for a bit so that I can do a good guide.
That's really good tire wear! How long were you out on the track with the Kumho's?
All day!
Really like your videos guys, so much better than some of the other similar channels. Next up..... Time to get rid of the shiny leather seats ?. As nice as they are for driving to work, you really were hanging on in there while on the track !.
Big thanks mate, so nice of you to say. Funny you should say, the new racing seat arrived yesterday and I'll be fitting and testing it in a future video.
Mismatched tires on all four corners? Is that legal in the UK?
Guys help! Worked for 1 yr to buy this car but confused:
2007 vs 2008 350z
Which one is better and why?
Please tell me one model not both bcoz am certain one is better than the other one. Thank you
Gotta love those 350 zEd tYrEs
Nice video! Could you tell me how to minimize understeer (mid corner) by adjusting the suspension? I have Bilstein PSS10 and have a soft setup, a bit stiffer in the front. Thanks!
Thanks Frank. Sorry, no idea. I will be fitting coilovers in a future video though so stay tuned!
Hi, I would firstly like to say love your vids. I wanted to ask you some advice please. I recently bought a Z4 3.0 coupe from Sytner BMW with 1 year warranty and 39000 miles on clock. I've hardly done any mileage (about 500 miles). What I've noticed is that the car's steering is really loose. It keeps tracking to the left and any little bump or uneven road surface the car moves a lot especially noticebale at lower speeds. Its on runflats all round but the pressures and tread are reasonable. Have you ever heard of this before and could you shed some light. Do you think I should take it back under warranty? The car is otherwise great but I'm actually scared to drive it. Thanks
If it's not right and you've got a warranty then take it back to be repaired
Road and Race thanks
A spoiler might be a good idea the nismo ones are the best looking in my opinion. It would also be cool to see a clio vs z video
I'd love a Nismo spoiler - they look so cool but are pricey!
thank you Neil, can you destroy your old ones' next time? Wanted to ask and hope you tune the engine or an RB25 turbo from a R33 skyline engine imported from Japan maybe? only because this is very heavy with 3.5L cornering Great Job from Kumho thanks again :)
Thanks Rich. Yes, engine mods are on the cards.
What track is that and how much
why does the exhaust note not sound like a vq at all to me lmao
New tyres almost always give less road noise due to full tread...
What's the music you use in your videos (intro etc)?
It's all written by me.
I have an '04 Z.. What is traction control?
So glad mine is an old one with out all that electric
kiddy crap.
Its not because it is an 04 its because the trim level of your 350 didn't have it
tf is wrong with the previous owner XD how tf he manage that tyres
Great ...
Clio vs Z in upcoming video? Can Neil in the Z beat Gary in the Clio?
Nice suggestion but we no longer have the Clio.
Great video guys. Nice of you to compare with the clio. Only 1s quicker on the 4 random tyres. Shows how good the little hatch can be but also no match to a proper sports car with nearly twice the engine lol
Thanks John!
New tyres are not ideal for track. Tyre blocks too thick so they overheat rather quickly...you'll find they will be more stable at 4mm
Nice tip. I guess we'll see in a bit!
Next step suspension?
Yes, absolutely.
Nice, can't wait for it :)
You spelled tires wrong m8
How tall are you?
6 foot.
What an mish mash of tyres. Thats why in germany mixing manufacturer or even tyre model an one axle is prohibited.
I wish you guys got an e46 M3 instead. I know it’s more money but still
To be fair I'll probably get one at some stage as they are such good value at the moment and I like working on BMWs. A future project maybe.
