Indeed. But I think im going to take an extra long holiday weekend. It's already 4days for us and I think I'll make 5 or 6. Then work remote the following week so I'm home for two weeks.

I love doing diy stuff around the house, but the soreness afterwards reminds me that I'm not a young snapper any more. Back in the day I wouldn't even be sore! Lol

Just called and made the change on my insurance for the NISMO, and called to schedule a service appointment.

I drove the car to work today... 200 miles and it still feels like the tires are a little flat-spotted. They are better but there is still a little shake at 70 - 75 mph.

Was anybody else's Z out of alignment on delivery? I think it's toed out a little.

I could maybe "wait and see" a few more miles on the tires if they wanted me to but this steering is pretty twitchy/nervous. It gets light like a Cadillac and you're chasing it all over the road like it's got a bad tie rod. I've driven a car with 0 toe before (and a few Z's) and this is much worse than I remember.

Got a service appt. for Saturday, hopefully they'll get me all fixed up. It's still break-in miles now anyway so it's not like I'm missing much. :)

which tire did your nismo come with, the Advans or the new S001?
the advans with the nismo wheels have some tramlining on grooved roads.
ive not driven the S001's.

your flat spot...hummmm... was your tire psi low while at the dealer?
regardless, you shouldn't get ANY vibrations at speed. if it was low
maybe your dealer can give you a deal on new tires.

kenchan 06-23-2014 11:40 AM

dayam... imaging having 4 arms and hands to do the work... and 4 legs for stability.

id be done in like 2min. lol

kenchan 06-23-2014 11:47 AM

I'm not sure, I think they are the S0001's but I'd have to look.

It's not tramlining (no more than any Z would), the highway can be smooth with no cracks or anything and at 50 mph the steering feels pretty normal but at 70 it's very light - like the opposite of what the speed sensitive steering should do.

So the steering gets very light, and you have to keep aiming the car back toward straight. Then, if you're turning, say on an off-ramp or whatever at 70 mph, the wheel gets heavier after about the first 1" of travel.

I'm convinced the alignment is out. As for the flat spots the car had 6 miles on it when I test drove it, it had just been sitting for a long time. It seems like that should have corrected itself by now.

Seems I may be getting an alignment and 1 or 2 new tires. We'll see. :)

sounds like a plan! :tup:

GL with the alignment and also seeing if you can get new tires. :D
