Good catch on the oil (no pun intended). Yeh you gotta watch em, I also have the dealer change mine and I stand over them like a hawk because I am gettinng an oil sample to send off for a Used Oil Analysis.

Could you provide a link or the post # on your sway bar setup? I cannot remember which thread, seems there are alot on sways, but this one was on which sways to go with. I think I read that for my set up with Eibach springs and OEM struts that Stillen would work good and Hotchkis is for a stiffer suspension set up. Correct me if I am wrong, still learning this suspension stuff.

Cheers
Curtis

* I dont know that there is a specific post, but I can tell you I got hotchkis swaybars. Reason being that they are a bit more aggressive than the Stillen ones and they would work better for my coilover setup. I think the Stillen will work GREAT with your Eibach spring, perhaps better than most the others, and they are by far the more attractively priced set of the ones that are available. Give Josh or Kyle a ring, I'm sure they will hook you up Curtis. If you have any more questions, shoot. We are all here to help.

Hey thanks for the advise, Josh @ Stillen is my go to guy. Stillen sways is on my list now. Enjoy your journal, very informative and well written.

I am in for pics of your wheel spacers. Carbon Fibre looks great!

Re: oil, I have heard and read some good results from some used oil analysis on Mobil 1 for track use on the Z33. Not much posted up on the Z34. Very good reading on Resolute' (Will) used oil analysis (UOA) thread on my350z. (Resolute) has a write up on Nissan's esther oil, although it may have gotten buried in all the posts on his thread. There is some data on Motul posted, if interested. I had good results from my type of driving (daily driving) with Pennzoil Platinum. Choosing the best oil really depends on your driving habits, and a used oil analysis will show what is going on with the internals.

^ Count me in for all of it.

Look forward to seeing your set up, I have Stillen sways with Eibach springs on my car so I will give my impressions compared to yours shortly when I get some miles in.

carbon looks great... re motul, wouldn't surprise me, I don't have enough experience with it yet to really say... but many racers change all their fluids before every event... I'm hoping to stretch it out more than that of course... we'll see

Thanks, OK guys for sure I will have the spacer shots up by today. I have been lazy...

I had a meeting with the iCarbon guys yesterday. Let's just say I am very excited and you all should be too. We have a bunch of parts lined up, so if you were thinking about buying some exterior stuff...might want to hold up the parade for a few weeks.

theDreamer

RCZ, what are the parts they are thinking of creating?
~Stock
~Lips/add-ons to stock
~New complete replacements

I know it is early but just getting some ideas of what to look forward to.

There are a bunch of ideas on the table that are getting designed right now. I just received a quick render of the rear diffuser and the thing is sick! First shot at it, they already made something I would put on my car. No, I will not post the picture, you guys will have to wait a bit.

There will be some add-ons and complete replacements, no real point in remaking stock stuff.

On another note, as promised here are a few quick shots of the spacers.

H&R 15mm Front + H&R 20mm Rear. Remember I have TONS of negative camber on the front, which is why it looks in a little still. On a less aggressive alignment, the wheel would be flush like the rear one is.

theDreamer

Well that settles that, 15 in the front & 20 in the rears, thank you RCZ.

You're welcome.

Car is looking great man! MAKE SURE you keep me posted on the CF stuff...I'm 100% in as long as its a low-profile cf lip kit! Think bottom-line stuff for the STi.

Awesome stance, the 15mm Fr wheel spacers look good with the negative camber. The 20mm Rr look good with the Nitto N05's. Thx for posting up these pics. It gives me a good idea on what to go with.

RCZ

You got it.

Thanks and cool!

RCZ

Hey folks, my wheels/tires/spacers setup might be for sale soon. Anyone interested?

370zForever

Hey RCZ, which H&R TRAK + wheel spacers are you using?? DR, DRS, DRA?? Or something else....
