awesome...really looking forward for the results!!...im buying a SS clutch kit from zspeed..and the HD csc and oem master cylinder!!so i never have to deal with the issue of the oem csc!!....i was planning on spraying a 125 wet shot!!.but its been put on hold!!...i rather my car be reliable and slow..then fasts and leave me stranded for something nissan shud had fix recall already!!....

I agree with that. My buddy Steven is doing the GTM 1.5 SC kit right now. Can't wait to see his results and how the car is with time. Still about a year out from boost, but seeing how his turns out will be my final determination on a GTM kit.

An NA car is still faster than a broken boosted car. Reliability an driveability is the key!

Had the alignment done today to correct the steering wheel and to my surprise, this also shut off the VDC OFF light and Anti Slip light.

Also, made a nice little purchase yesterday to help the wheels pop just a bit :)

^^I've noticed my steering wheel is cocked over to the left also. I wonder if what you did will fix it. After I got an alignment, I noticed my steering wheel is at 11 o'clock. It really bugs me.

Can you tell me a little more what they had to do to fix it so I can tell my mech?

I just went to les schwab and told them the issue. My camber is basically negative 2.5 on all four corners and was not adjusted. The only thing I had adjusted was the toe, since caster was fine and it's not adjustable with the oem front.

Pretty sure the adjustment to fix the wheel has to do with the steering rack located between the drivers side header and intake. It was removed to do the headers and their alignment guy was also playing around in the same area. It was a well spent $60 for a straight steering wheel.

Guy loved my car and it was really awesome hearing it drive down the road with the new headers. And the way she squats when she rolls <3 makes me understand why people are always staring and pointing when I drive by.

Here is the printout of all my suspensions specs. This is on BC Coils with only the SPC rear Camber arms and toe bolts. This is also maxing out the SPC rear Camber arms.

how much you paid for them?

definitely want to see pics!!

Riptide67 03-07-2014 03:27 PM

A little under $60 shipped and got them in two days. I think they are gonna look great and add just a little bit of extra flare to the burst bronze.

RICAN 03-07-2014 03:53 PM
