Default Bought my NEW Z 2 months ago, got a few questions !!!!

wanted to change my bulbs to 6000K or 8000K, has anyone installed there own? how much and where to buy? im in canada, so wont that void my warranty? ill check with the dealer as well.
do you need another set of bulbs for the hi beams?
someone else replied saying with his 6000K bulbs he sees a tint of yellow still because of our lenses?

will 245/35ZR/20 OR 19 95Y, 275 or 285/30ZR20 OR 19 97Y fit the 2012 Z? will it be flush? and does my fronts have to be 35zr or can it be 30zr like my rears?

mother fucker opened my door and it hit the convertible Z next to it when i picked it up and acted as if i didnt see it, the fkn retard i was i didnt say anything because i was shell shocked i finally got my Z, after i smoked my gorgeous 350z that everyone drooled over.. no damage though, but still.

will 245/35ZR/20 OR 19 95Y, 275 or 285/30ZR20 OR 19 97Y fit the 2012 Z? will it be flush? and does my fronts have to be 35zr or can it be 30zr like my rears?

also how can i check my transmission oil, automatic engine. i heard only the dealers can.. but i dont want them or no one else sitting in the CAR at all, and i want to watch what they do at all times.

That was me and the good news is you can't see the yellow if you look at the headlights... it has a small tint on the top when you see it reflect off something (at least on my car). 6000k will be blue, 8000k will probably look purplish. I got mine from theretrofitsource.com

From what I understand we have a sealed trans without a dipstick so you can't. You can only fill and replace (I believe) which seems like it is a project on our cars... very easy on the 6mt though

My answer is "probably" to all your questions.

your tire sizes are gonna be different......Plain and simple, changing tire size will not make it anymore "flush". Wheel offsets and spacers do it. If you have sport wheels, its gonna be an XX/XX/19 size. The 95/97 Y you are stating is the load rating of the tire and the speed rating.

basically for example:
275/35/19-97Y = Tire width in MM/Aspect ratio/ Rim size - Load rating/Speed rating

Everything else you are stating tires wise makes no sense as you are switching between 19 and 20 in rims.....

Maybe he wants to modify his stock 19" tires to fit 20" wheels. Use a Sawzall

LOL. all your replies made me laugh. actually i have 18s, i have the base model, i was really mislead by the dealer sales rep.. i asked if the rims were different, and the LOOK of the brakes, he says no. i get my car and the mother FKR opens the door and hits the Z next to it when he showed me my car when i went to pick it up.. i was shell shocked looking at my Z after waiting forever trying to find "another" 350z with failure. no dmg btw, but i should have said you fkn hit my door, im not buying it, and that could have been my chance to upgrade to the sport package.. instead im stuck with the shitty little brakes you see on every car on the street and the ugly rims im not a fan of at all, and there 18..............................

ill paint the 20 inch rims i have from chrome to black, and get new tires, i got the answer to the bulb. thanks
