Dude that sounds fricken nice!!! Can't wait to hear it in person. :tup:

Yeah the shipper Varrstoen uses isn't exactly the greatest when it comes to estimated delivery times, but they've never let us down. Typically West Coast orders arrive 2-3 business days, while Central and East Coast takes 5-7.

We shipped your set and Lou Fusz's at the same time but I'm curious why his have arrived while yours haven't. Maybe it'll come tomorrow?

Sounds pretty hard man! Love the look too! :tup:

Sorry it was a little windy, so a little background noise.

Darren,

Just checked the tracking again. It looks like the last two/one wheel(s) have made it to NJ and are on their way to MD. Hopefully they will all be there on Tuesday. :tup:

WooHoo, Tein Lowering Springs just arrived :tup:

Also ordered door handles.... I will have these pre-painted black before install, as this is my daily driver.

So will have a spare set of handles soon if anyone's looking ;)

TROOPER 09-07-2010 05:06 PM

WOOHOO... New wheels delivered, install scheduled for tomorrow.

:excited: :excited: :excited: :excited:

SE 09-07-2010 06:39 PM

I was wondering when the wheels would arrive! Did you get all four though? Varrstoen definitely needs to find a better shipping company.

I may be interested in your door handles as a spare to paint :)

I'm looking forward to seeing everything on your car

m4a1mustang 09-07-2010 07:24 PM

I definitely need to try to make it out to MD this Saturday. I want to hear the new exhaust and see these wheels. :tup:

HaHa, a Nismo Roadster would be cool.

Well the next thing will probably be my Nismo springs, as I just received my Tein S-Tech's

atx370z 09-08-2010 09:03 PM

Man your car is looking gooood!!!

I was thinking of getting the same wheels, but in silver to match the stock wheel color. That way my OCD won't kick in and make me want to paint the door handles.


You're going to completely fall in love all over again once you get your springs on!

Well they are not installed yet, but I believe it's something like 0.7" rear, and 0.9" front. These are a pretty mild drop compared to some springs.

Although I've seen some threads that claimed a 1.5" drop in the front which didn't really sound right to me, and may be toooo low to drop my Nismo.

So I'm undecided if I'm going to actually fit these springs now.
Plus I'm going to run front spacers to resolve a wheel issue LOL

Nismo badge
 
Hey, i picked up a '10 Nismo and like the badge under the side blinker. Where did you get those badges?

Nismo Emblem
 
Thanks for the tip on ebay. I thought it was a decal/sticker but it looks like it's made of abs material chrome plated. It looks great!

Darren, Carbonguy is going to be in Fairfax this Saturday and he is bringing his rear organizer for the 370Z so if you want it he wants $50 bucks I think. I told him you might be interested.

Oh, he's interested in what carbonguy is packing. This is worth the money, Darren. For 50 bucks, you'll get something in your (nismo's) rear.

I actually sent a PM a while back and didn't hear anything.
I knew there was someone lined up for this purchase before me, so wasn't sure if that deal had gone through

I actually just received a new organizer from Z1 Motorsports :tup:

So were you happy going with the single sub? Does it meet your expectations?
