I wouldn't race with spacers but I see no problems with daily driving on them.

I have track time, Tail of the Dragon time, Hell Bender Time, and other twisty road time on my spacers.
No issues.
Lugs have never loosen on me.
I use 10mm Z1 Hub Centric Wheel Spacers & Extended Studs on my rear wheels.

I would definitely will not use bolt on spacers for any type of performance driving.

Nope.
The reason I have spacers on the rears only has to do with the offsets my Volk Racing rims came in.
I bought them second hand and the previous owner had ordered the front 19x9.5's with +23 offset and the rear 19x10.5's with +22 offset.
Most people get their 19x10.5 rears with a +12 offset (19x9.5 fronts with +22 offset).
The +22 offset rears doesn't look as flush as the +23 offset fronts.
With the 10mm spacer the rears effectively become +12 offset thus making the rears look as flush as the fronts.

I wish I had comparison pics at the same angle but this should give you a good idea.

Will be selling the NISMO very soon. Don't have time for it anymore, and could possibly be leaving the country very soon. Here's a link to the FS thread. Already have an offer from Carmax and Nissan. If I can't find a buyer in the next few days, it's going to one of them.

We can't go to Blue Pete's without Pete! **** you, Pete! You better at least hitch a ride or ask Adrian to bring you along.

FISH22 07-05-2014 09:16 PM

Thanks for all the love, guys! :D

I don't plan on going anywhere! You're all a pretty awesome group, and the last drive we did not too long ago was pretty awesome. I'll still make it out to meets/drives, but it'll be in a Fit or Pilot. I may be tempted to trade the Fit in for something like an STi down the road (I have a soft spot for them).

I actually heavily thought about an STi a while back, always liked them.

If I wasn't such a Z fan, I would get an STi as well. They look super fun.

Darketch 07-07-2014 09:24 PM

Fellas, ordered my FI exhaust today. Got the 18" resonators. Let the waiting begin!

Onelownismo 07-08-2014 09:37 AM

FI exhaust on the '14 nismo!?

Loving it. :tup:

Darketch 07-08-2014 05:03 PM

Is your exhaust resonated? It was a hard decision. I thought I settled on non, 12" and 18! I chose 18 but still am not sure. I want a deep note, but also loud!

Onelownismo 07-09-2014 09:20 AM

Mine is non-resonated! Wouldn't have it any other way. It might be too loud for you older guys though :icon17:

Is the cruise on saturday still happening? I have a friend coming into town and he might enjoy that.

Jsmith7861 07-09-2014 11:45 AM

Here's some more pics of the hit and run guys.

I'm posting it again because I wanted to get opinions on repair price.

My two options are paying the 500 bucks for deductible and just have it said and done, or wait a couple months and just get a new bumper painted. Would probably get the Zele kit, amuse is awesome but too many people go for it. Here's to hoping you guys got a hook up lol, don't really wanna drop the dough for the zele kit quite yet.http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/07/10/ga8abe8a.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/07/10/vuhy5a7e.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/07/10/u9urugu2.jpg

Onelownismo 07-09-2014 02:06 PM

Does your insurance company write you the check or give it straight to the repair shop? If they write it out to you I would pocket the cash and go buy the Zele bumper. If not just pay the deductible and get it fixed.

I have nationwide, they have always paid the repair shop directly. Unless someone knows a way that they get them to send a check instead.

Can you just have your repair shop replace the bumper with the Zele, and pay the cost above and beyond what the insurance company would pay for the stock bumper repair/replacement?

When I ran over the dead deer, USAA had me go to an adjuster to get a quote. They set the $amount - any unforeseen issues. I then got to choose where I wanted the work done. I believe if your company allows you, you could got to Tidewater Z to have it repaired with the bumper you want and believe tidewater Z would allow you to pay the difference out of pocket (assuming your custom bumper would be more expensive) Win-Win. Call the owner and run the plan buy him.

I didn't think of that, good idea. I guess I would have to ask the shop, nationwide is pretty hands off with me so far.

Tidewater Z can get you the parts but the fitment/body work and painting would have to be done some where else.
Tidewater Z is more about the mechanical side of the house.
