What did you do with your Z today V (ON TOPIC DISCUSSION ONLY)

abm89 · 02-16-2022, 01:49 PM

Running logs at E81. Seb is making the adjustments! I just hope my fuel pump keeps up. I'm not quite ready to make the switch to the surge tank.

abm89 · 02-17-2022, 10:55 AM

yep. definitely need to upgrade the pump. Ordered the AEM drop-in for now. I'll get a surge system at a later date.

Drove 1.5 hours to St. Catherine’s. Traded it in.

Traded in your Z? So you're now Z'less?

Ahhh, that's nothing. There are three ridiculous tags mentioning me on this thread alone.

LOL, I have sold mine 15 times in my thread. I get hate all the time.

SeeThruHead · 02-17-2022, 03:42 PM

I actually did trade it in.

I've been looking for a "mint" or close enough car for a while. I signed for a black 2020 Nismo but they wouldn't do interdealership transfer from Calgary to Toronto so I didn't get that. I was looking at a couple cars for a while now until I found a single owner, no accident sport model. It was non touring which is what I wanted. Only 31k KM. 2018 model. Owned by a Z enthusiast who only drove it in the summer on the weekends.

Yesterday I removed my grounding kit, my password JDM dumb carbon things. And some other minor mods I'd done while waiting for this car and drove to trade it in.

Had them swap the wheels tho. The sport wheels are hideous! Also I have a set of winter tires on my 18's anyway.

Now I'm part of the cool red brakes gang lol
And the car also has some tint, and the paint is in much better condition. And no janky hood gap! It's perfectly lined up.

Well if this is the result, you should be bullied more often!

Welcome to the red caliper crew! Nice Z!

did you at least get a cash difference for those Rays?

SeeThruHead · 02-17-2022, 09:36 PM

I didn't really think about it. I hate them, so I would have had to sell them. And bought new 18s for my sets of tires. Or bought new winter tires and put them on the 19s. Way too much trouble. Especially considering how quickly the deal had to go down, and the shortage of tires and wheels for purchase. Also there's a snowstorm happening right now, so kind of needed the winter tires.

Finally installed my new wheels. Love them!
Lowered on Swift Spec R springs. Front is perfect. Added 1inch adapters to the rear, but they still need some adjustment. If all else fails, I'll incorporate koni yellows.

babyzilla · 02-18-2022, 01:25 PM

Hey Guys, I tried to do some searching but didn't find the answer I was looking for. I also didn't want to hijack someone else's thread, so I hope this thread is OK to post my question considering it relates to what I just previously posted on here and it is on topic?..

I do not want coilovers and I only do commuting and spirited driving with my Z. I am lowered on Swift Spec R springs. The front came out perfect, but the rear has some negative camber on it. Will an alignment and some toe bolts fix this? The other issue is I rub at high speeds on bumps. This is why I think I need to add the konis. Plus, I heard the Konis with Swift springs is an amazing combo. I figured I could raise the back up slightly since they are adjustable. Will that fix the negative camber or will I still need toe bolts fix that after an alignment? Do I need other suspension hardware? Any input or experience is appreciated.
