Backside of the front springs. Easy to miss if you don't look closely.

Bodytechz · 02-28-2012, 10:36 AM

ahh, yeah, I found 2 on each front spring myself of my 2011, thanks to this thread, I got them off just a month after I purchased my Nis. Called the dealer, they had no clue these spacers even existed, they do now lol.

How much does this lower your car. Looking at getting them off this weekend but I honestly don't have a lot of room to spare on these cliff angled parking entrances in WI. I swear I need to post some pics of these sometime. They are like 45 degree + to get into a parking lot... like wtf, not everyone drives an SUV. Even my malibu scrapes on occasion.

Sharpie711 · 03-06-2012, 07:31 AM

So get this...I bought a 2009 nismo about a week ago and found the spacers on the front shocks...The car has 26000 miles on it and they were never removed. This is after a full inspection by the nissan dealership i purchased it from. Needless to say i was pretty pissed. Their top certified GT-R mechanics can't find shipping spacers on my car but i can look on forums for 20 minutes and figure out that they dont need to be on there. I was wondering if these things can pose problems after so many miles have been put on the car?

Gauge · 03-06-2012, 08:09 AM

I ended up emailing my dealership about them because they had another Nismo there. They emailed me back a few days later saying that they were still on the other one as well and their mechanic took them off. He thanked me for doing them one solid. Hopefully the next test driver won't have a ride that breaks the back.

How much did it lower the front of your car can I ask?

twinturbonet · 03-20-2012, 08:19 PM

Wow. So I read this and thought to myself "Nahhh, this couldn't happen to me" and sure enough I was wrong!

LakeShow · 03-20-2012, 10:09 PM

That is completely ridiculous. Imagine how many non forum members own a Nismo or a Nismo used on a track or used in a professional review and have this regulator on the suspension really ruining the whole Nismo mojo.

Man, seriously. If I see any other Nismo's on the road, I will flag them down and let them know if they don't already.

nismobenji · 05-06-2012, 09:51 PM

I just checked my 2012 today; and sure enough I have them still installed. Has anyone noticed any problems caused from riding on these for extended periods of time? Ive had mine on since she was new and i now have 3500 miles on her

NismoKeith · 05-07-2012, 10:20 AM

Benji
I was at about the same mileage when I found mine. I could have easily taken them off myself, but I took it to Nissan and had them put the details in my service records. Such as the mileage in the car and when they removed them. I haven't had any issues yet, I've had the car for about 2 years, but if something does come up with the suspension in the future, it will fall on them.

twinturbonet · 05-07-2012, 01:25 PM

yea, I also contact the sales rep that assisted me and advised them to remove them prior to selling.

Lol ****, I had to teach the salesman what the S-Mode button does. People don't know much apparently.
