You want my wheels eh. You'd have to get the front right fixed because its curbed.
If you make me a solid offer for wheels AND tires as is I would consider parting with them.

Also, I've been kinda quiet these past few days with a sheared bolt in my clutch. It has been fixed and I can now actually get back to testing out the new brakes.

I drove on them already and have some teaser shots for you tonight. First impression though is that the whole braking system feels solid now. Bite is pretty predictable and the pedal just feels awesome. Feels like I can modulate it with more confidence now. The rotors look AWESOME on the car too. I'm trying to see if I can grab one of the teasers from my Vossen photoshoot.

By the way, the Stillen Metal matrix pads are excellent street pads. Low dust, no noise and good cold and hot bite. They aren't touchy, they are more gradual, but then when you get on them a little more you can tell they are definitely better than the stock pads. They are also cheaper and rotor friendly, so no brainer for me. I recommend them for someone replacing stock pads...they are similar to Hawk HPS pads for a lot less.

I'm working on getting the teaser shot! Should have it in a few days. :tup:

Jav, I have a feeling the new wheels will be very very well received by the 370Z community.

How bad is it crubbed, post pics! I will buy the complete package, how much tread ou got left on your tires?

Which bolt did you break? ......

Well, it's just the front right. I know you are anal about your car so you WILL have to get it fixed. It's not deep at all, but there's a good amount of it. So its definitely fixable, but they usually run like 75 a wheel to get redone.

One of the bolts that holds the pressure plate to the flywheel. The head of the bolt sheared off and was bouncing inside. I am so lucky nothing was damaged. Car was back up and running in a day thanks to Jnaut staying up late into the night to have me back on the road asap.

Oh and

Can anyone advice me on what program to use for quickly inserting a signature logo on all my pictures?? I'm tired of seeing them used all over the place.

It would be pretty tits if it was a Z hook instead of J, lol looks good man :tup:

Let me know what software inserts a watermark on my pictures too :tup:

Working on a set of Rentless Autosports rear rotors today or tomorrow.
Look for pictures and write up in the near future.

I just got a tip from a helpful informant from Stillen letting me know that VSO Image Resizer does what we need. Thanks Josh.

download Image Resizer

Thanks, Ill give it a try ...... thanks to you too Josh

worked perfect for me.

That's fine with me. How much tread left on the tires? I won't offer more than 900-$1k though.

Nah, I can't do that with the NT05's that are on the wheels. Sorry Bud.

:icon18: :happydance:

sick car man keep it up!

Well you never told me what the tread life or tire type was. I could do 1300-1400 depending out how much tread is left. Does that sound more reasonable to you?

There's still a good 70-75% life left on these tires. I haven't even gotten to track them yet.

Yeah, that sounds way more reasonable. Wheels are coming off the car in about a month or so, lets talk then. I hate to get rid of them, but car is almost ready to start getting on track more often so...

Yeah a month away works for me too actually. I will set the money aside until that time.

you want my 18"s for the track? lol

I'm pretty sure our stock 18s are fairly heavy. I will be weighing them once i replace in a week or 2 with my new wheels. Mine may be hitting the market also, but i think I'm going to toss some blizzaks on. As it looks like ill be staying in the northwest for this winter. Hell i still need to sell my Audi stockers.

The fronts are 25lbs definitely and the rears are about 27lbs.

Yeah, I don't think I'll be using your 18's. I think I'm going to get some RPF1s from a vendor here..just not sure who yet.

Awesome Vossen for daily and show and then the RPF1's for the track. Still trying to pick a tire...thinking 888's or shaved RA1's. Wonder what happened to our sneak peak, gonna see if I can find out.

Ladies and Gentlemen...without further ado.

Coming soon!!!!!

Those look like they are going to be f'in awesome.

a month? really? actually a month and a half?

boooooooo!

the teaser looks awesome!

Gorgeous. So my ******* style it isnt even funny. Wish they were out before I got mine.

My style too. Yeah I know Josh, its so far away! Now that I have no spacers installed it pains me to look at the car with the stock wheels all sunk in...boooo.

Looks great, to me they look like a BBS offering but with much more concavity :tup:

I'm not one to buy wheels for looks but if I were I'd be interested... these flow really well with the lines of the car... look forward to more pics!

Hmmmm, that's funny because my wheels are flush now and look great. Oh yeah, that's because I have your spacers :tup:. Got them installed this past weekend and they're great. No vibration and a subtle but worthwhile aesthetic improvement. I'll see if the cornering abilities have any noticeable improvement at my next track day as well. Thanks again.

How is the SC working out? Still on my wish list...

Screw the SC, I want to see some fabric! What's new, Raul??? Any new prints for fall?

Let me know if your spacers hold up. One of my spacer's sheared off the centering ring part of the spacer after a track day. H&R stud replacement kind, wheels torqued to 85 lb/ft.

Well that doesn't bode well. Did you notice right away or find out later? Hopefully you just had a dud.

chris, mind posting a pic somewhere of the damage so we can learn from that? would like more discussion of why you think it failed... thanks for the heads-up

Found out later when changing wheels (was using stock at the time). I will post a pic up somewhere for discussion.

Yeah, please do. Maybe make a new thread out of it to get some more input...something sexy like "Broken spacer after track event". People won't be able to resist looking inside.

At least the wheel didn't fly off. I was getting worried about the spacers and being at Road America in 3 weeks.

Hmmm.. Can't wait for the pics!

RCZ - How is your clutch holding up?

Post pics of the failed H&R spacer. This was the 15mm or 20mm? I had heard that tracking with wheel spacers could have some issues. Is there any truth to this or was someone blowing hot air up my tires?

I never got a chance to track with the spacer on. I've spent too long getting the car ready to handle the abuse.

Clutch is fine. Every now and then I get a little play at the top of the pedal and the engagement gets very close to the floor. Then I drive around for 10 minutes and its fixed for another few days. Its on and off, but nothing major. Its not the clutch's fault though, I have a strong feeling that its the fluid system and not the clutch itself.

I've interested in seeing the carnage of the wheel spacers too.

Thx RCZ.

On another note, I could have sworn HP Logic was a vendor on the forum. Where did they go? Or am I looking over them....
