I have math on the brain. Way too much calc in my life. The equation for the post above is kinda like this- 370Z + N=350z^2+22 ok sorry, I'll go back to my math homework now.

ZKraken22 · 06-15-2013, 04:02 PM

What we should do is take your 350z vs a base 370z. then your dads nismo vs base 370z. Then take your 350z vs a 370z nismo. then 350z nismo vs 370z nismo. Then 370z base vs 370z nismo!!!

We need some more white and red around town. Buy it. Take one for the team.

I LOVE black, but need a change up.

The pearl white is scary, being something happens never get to match.

Like the midnight navy blue too...

This Sunday, June 23rd, the Kansas City based Heart of America Z Car Club will have two gatherings.

The first is at the Art of the Car Concours, an annual car show held on the grounds of the Kansas City Art Institute. This is across the street west of the Nelson Art Gallery and just east of The Plaza.

That Art of the Car is one of the most amazing gatherings of classic and collectible cars you'll ever see. The Concours runs from 10 am to 4 pm. There is no official time to show up...just arrive at your leisure. Here is a link: http://www.kcai.edu/events/special-e...t-car-concours

Beginning at 4 pm we'll gather at Fred P. Otts, conveniently located a few blocks west on The Plaza for post Concours food, refreshments, and overall replenishment. Ott's is located at 4770 JC Nichols Parkway.

You are welcome to join us.

My buddy sent me that too. But no. Plus would never buy some1 else Fi project.

just not worth it to me in the end. Granted is a cool car, just don't want it bad enough to deal with the payments. On top of starting fully stock all over. Cost way too much to make sense.

pbhakta · 06-19-2013, 02:27 PM

So guys, I have had my swifts on for about 2 weeks now and need to get an alignment done somewhere in the KC area. However, I think i need a place that offers some kind of package for unlimited alignments per car for 1 year/ 3year / 5 year or lifetime alignments. The reason being is that in about 1.5 months, I will be getting new wheels and tires and will need to do another alignment. I dont want to wait on my current tires because 1.5 months is alot of driving for me in the Z since I DD during this time. Is there a place in KC that does the alignment package for a period of time and is reasonable that you guys trust?

EDIT: Or i guess if it makes more sense just to pay for an alignment 2 times since it might be cheaper doing it that way instead of buying an alignment package for 1 year etc..

It also has a salvage title. Good luck getting a loan.

For reference, a four wheel alignment will run you about $80-$100. Depending on how many miles you plan on putting on the car between now and wheels, it may not be worth it. A little extra camber won't accelerate the tire wear much. Especially given the negative factory camber specs.

For reference, I'm about 0.5" lower than Swifts and here are my before and afters with wheels and tires:

So without front and rear camber kits, your camber difference is only going to be a couple of tenths before/after.
