yea, i did the install myself. one thing i will say i did that made me alot more comfortable is got a spring compressor with a locking pin.

something like this:

Performance Tool Professional Strut Spring Compressors W89322 - SummitRacing.com

made me feel like i wasn't handling a loaded gun. i would start with the fronts, as those will be the most difficult. took me about 3-4 hours. Its nothing too difficult, jsut kinda time consuming.


backs require 1 bolt to get out, and will probably take 20 min to do both. if u need a hand, just gimme a holler and i can come help

Thanks Jackson for your service to your Z Club.

I need to join already. I've been a bit of a recluse since coming home from Afghan. Talked to the wife and she's still keen to join us on an outing sooner or later, if she can ever get some time off work.


As an aside, I'm loving this weather.

bleh, it needs to be warm and sunny again. ya we can get a few people to go and support hazcc next time

Hey who do we know that has a grey 350Z with an Extreme Dimensions Vader style hood? May be a Seibon VT CF hood.

Well, my baby got here mid-week! Here is a pic after I had a chance to wash her on Friday! Lovin the color changes in the 40th paint

Welcome, aCoul82. mmm 40th's are so sexy. nice to see some new z owners pop up here in kc!

Very Nice!! CongratZ. Enjoy the ride.

congrats love that color soo much, only thing better is the interior.

I have about six 40th z aluminum water bottles from zcon, nissan was giving them away like hotcakes, maybe if your nice I can give you one :tup:

and welcome, since you made it this far you should stick around this section, and come to some event sometime this year.

I wish i could get those 40th wheels on my gun metallic. I love that darker color.

U bet, would love to see some of the mods everyone has made in person to consider doing on my car. My last car was an RSX type S. I had CAI, headers, CBE, pulleys, and an ECU tune

Welcome aCoul. I'm new around the city and on this board, and I can tell you these guys here are a wonderful bunch of people. Our group is small, but very friendly.

It's not the size of the group, it's the way you use it.:icon23:

Welcome aCoul....There seems to be a few more people going towards FI on their Z's here in KC. I'm still the only one but hoping to have some others soon. Also with the UpRev issue being solved and that we have one close to home will help us keep pushing the mods foward. Good luck and love the car!

i THINK i saw your car heading south on metcalf, just before 435, by chartroose caboose. if not, theres another 40th running around

agreed. we have a good bunch of guys around here.

anyone else jonesin for some warm weather and curvey roads about now??
