What exactly does rotate like a plane mean? Never heard that one before.

mr.onzedge- congrats! :tup: looks good. :D are you running spacers now too? :)

i swapped out my G's SSR's to factory wheels with snow tires (LM60's). went from flush to wow, where the hell did the wheels go? look. :D hahaha. but with only 225/245 i dont want to use spacers as it will look rediculous from the back. i can't believe how sunken in the factory wheels were on the G... :icon17: last time i used these was a very long time ago so forgot how the car looked.

washed the SSR's, polymer sealed them, stacked them up. :p

I run 15 mm Ichiba in the rear and am installing 15 mm H&R in the front tomorrow morning. To me -- they are perfect fits

Great shots Mr. Onzedge! Yer Z is looking fantastic! How do you like the ride so far?

Yes indeed! I'll be taking plenty of photos. I took the Z to the Dallas (actually in Plano) cars and coffee this morning. Amazing turnout as always. I'll post some pics up tonight after work. Here are 2 low quality iPhone pics, it's all I got until I upload the real stuff. The lot is huge. By 7:15am there were already about 50-70 cars, yes that's a half an hour before sunrise! You can't even see a quarter of the lot in this photo.

No large meet-n-greets in my area like Plana, TX. Occasionally we have EuroSunday with about 50 cars (exoctics). Most around here cannot even get up that early, dunno must be all the pollen in our Central Valley that keeps them sleeping at that hour of the morning. Myself I am up and on the road by 6:30 am.

Looking forward to your photos from the DSLR.

Nice photo. Need to be measuring from the ground up. Btw: the rear passenger side looks higher. It's normal until the springs settle. I can ride co pilot for about 500 miles and with my big phat arse sitting in the passenger seat it will drop soon enough. :tiphat:

That driveway looks steep, hope you made it out un scathed.

Yes, it's nice to have two master mechanic sons under the same roof. I would have thrown in pizza and beer. :tup:

So how did your alignment numbers come out?

The wall mounted spring compressor is a big reason to not do it at home. It helps having a master tech for a son too,

h&r ftw

Changed transmission oil with Red Line MT-85 at 10k miles. What a BIG difference! The Z feels much lighter. Definitely recommended to those who cares.

Looking at buying a lip kit. Tired of looking at the stock lines. Especially the lower half. I feel it needs to be squared off

Nah, turbos are fun but I want to have this car stay all motor. One day I would love to buy a short block and do a full build and see just how much power I can get out of it.

As promised, pics from the Dallas (actually in plano) cars and coffee on 11/5/11. It's hosted by Classic BMW the first saturday of every month. I worked a double on friday that ended at 2:30am, went to sleep around 3-3:30, woke up at 6am, met with a local Nismo 370 at starbucks at 6:45, left for the show and got there at 7:20 (like 30 minutes before sunrise) and there were already tons of cars. After the show I managed to get an hour of sleep before my 4:30pm-2:30am shift, and now here I am finishing this up so I can finally catch some ZZZZZZ's.

I figured there was no way this guy would let me up here to take photos on this lookout deck but I got lucky. First off I would just like to say that there is major distortion in these photos, some to the point were the horizon is curved pretty bad, because I was using my fisheye lens since I broke my wide angle recently. Here is the first angle showing the North East corner of the lot
