Don't why you guys are having problems with this brace. :shakes head: EW installed mine in about 5 minutes. With all 3 bolts to boot. :tup:

Betty, you get the traction links installed?

EW must have dainty hands. And the middle slot for the Z1 brace doesn't line up properly on '14 Nismos, at least. At one point, I had 2 bits, an extension, and a light fall to the bottom of the hydraulic bay. Light had a magnet on back so that was a pure and total b*tch to get out lol.

I installed the links as well. Measured the proper adjustment length with a micrometer, collapsed the links, attached them, then extended to proper length. Gonna schedule an alignment today. Thanks for the advice on that!

Did you have the right spacers for the links?

Write up a review on the Z1 site. See if it sticks! :driving:

update: Nissan confirmed the HD CSC is blown, but they wanted to charge $950 for labor to install the CMAK. Winding Road Racing in Austin (down the street from my place and responsible for the bad *** corner balancing) quoted me about half to get the work done with some flex hours just in case they needed some more time installing the new system.

They even offered to go pick the car up from Nissan themselves. To RR Nissan's credit, they did not charge me anything to do the work and were really cordial about the whole process. Just waiting on the CMAK to get here.

The spacers appear identical to those on the technical drawing on the front of the instructions. And the instructions say Z34. I think they changed the spacer size/type because they upgraded the FK ends. Mine appear much larger than yours.

Think I got 6 spacers. 2 wide and 4 thinner. The 4 thinner ones put it about right.

The arms are at a slight angle but its not like they're at the limits of their articulation. Camber/midlinks/springs are stock. If the alignment guy has an issue I'll get on the phone to SPL.

My Seibon TS hood should be showing up today or tomorrow. I'll update the forum with the install.

Get a QuickJack and all your problems will be solved.

I doubt Quickjack cures erectile dysfunction.
