Coil pack 4 is under the N249
Ah. Well in that case it was cylinder 1 that went on mine.
For the rubber fettishists!
Since Goodyear stopped making the GSD3s I've been struggling to find a decent alternative. I've tried the new F1 assymetrics and was so dissapointed I changed them before they ran out of life. (part worn pair in the garage if anyone's interested!) and I had managed to find one of the last sets of GSD3s in the country for the last change. But alas they have finally given up the ghost so a new set of Yokohama Parada Spec 2s went on today. Very sexy tread pattern but are they any good? We'll see over the next few months.
Anyone with experience of these I'd be interested to hear.

My ESP is always off and it's been alright in the wet
You'll find pretty quickly where their limit is in the wet so you know how hard you can push, I've got Weitec coilover's 25mm FARB, 28mm RARB and F&R strut braces, in the wet it just under steers, if you push it too hard into a bend.
They also were'nt too bad in the snow.

Hmmmm same decision as me
What ones have you been looking at ??
Forge fmic, pipe worx dp and decat

The CG Lock holds the seat belt tight around the lap so it just holds you to the seat better than with a standard belt. But obvioulsy nowhere near as good as harnesses. ( but not as expensive or inconvenient)
I keep coming back to the forge one despite the temptation of the cheaper universal ones around that plenty of people have fitted on here. I'm just not sure I trust their performance.
I don't think I'd go the decat route at the moment, just too much hassle at MOT time. Jabba quoted me for a Miltek race cat a while back but they were on a long order time so didn't bother at the time. I'm going to have to do something soon though because the original CAT is looking pretty ropey under the car now and the heat sheild or guard is clinging on for dear life!
I'm surprised for your lack of love for the Asymmetrics, I love them and am looking forward to being able to afford the Asymmetric 2's soon.
You know Willie, I really tried to like them because I was expecting to like them but maybe it was my style of driving or maybe mine came from an odd batch but they just never felt like they had the bite of the GSD3s, especially in highspeed corners where the front end just seemed to wash out too much.
As an everyday road tyre they were absolutely fine really except for those moments when you need a little more traction.
I kicked the ass out of mine at Knockhill and the only issue I had was side wall flex, mild but noticable
This was with OEM power but handling wise for a road tyre I loved them.

I'm subscribed to your thread actually! Another nice LCR you have there. What is this Forge SMIC. I must have missed something because I wasn't aware they were doing one? (or is it 2 to replace the originals?)
So this is what greeted me today after the wife complained of "something wrong" with the car 
Middle fuse blown which I suspect protects the fans as she described the car overheating and the aircon playing silly buggers.
I fear the NIME unit I fitted a couple of years ago has packed up but I shall be inspecting in the morning.

Yeah mate SMIC just replace own ones but after research may aswel do the FMIC.

New track toy.
But I'm keeping the LCR too. Just can't bring myself to part with it for the moment.
I'm running the 350Z with sponsors for track day hire. The sponsors will get to come and drive the car on track with us with tuition (so we keep it one piece) several times a year.
So far the sponsorship money has covered the cost of purchasing the car and all the preparation. It will also cover the cost of the track days, insurance etc. We'll just keep our fingers crossed that we have no mega expensive mechanical bills during the year
