Thanks.

mr. onzedge - you're lowering your Z? really? im keeping mine stock height. it's low enough already. :p

Do it onzedge/kenchan

i couldnt stand the emotional abuse i took from these forums on lowering my car.

it was to the point where i was scared to log on, because someone would harass my "4x4" Z.

:tup:

:icon18:

you can even fist the gap on the 4x4 Zs :roflpuke2:

:rofl2: but i chose wheels that do not make my car look like a 4x4. :D

i'd like to change damper settings alittle but dont think the car is that tall to begin with, at least my wheel gaps in real life is not bad at all. my picts suck though. :ugh2: (which reminds me... where the hell is my Mines??! :crying: so that i can go snatch a DSLR).

I am indeed. :tup:

:tup: now drive down to socal for the fontana nissan meet :bowrofl:

did you order the swifts?

Tear it up sir!

You staying there or passing through?

oh wow! im like the only one left at stock height in the "cool group." :D ;)

i suppose i will look at KW V3's later on. i dont need the car lower, i want the dampers a tad stiffer... or maybe i should swap out the DW's to S04's. :p btw, the s04's are awesome on my G. im going to swap out the rear spacers on the car to poke it 5mm tonight.

anyone want a set of lightly used DW's? ;) (no i am not selling)

I have Eibachs, that are uninstalled (new sitting in the box). I am working on my driveway-street transition which now prohibits me lowering the Z.

After a run with ZONC, I am thinking that the Swifts, rather than the Eibachs, are the way to go. Many guys had Eibachs and then switched out to Swifts and they claim a vastly superior experience. I am all about the superior experiences myself so i am naturally interested in pursuing the Sifts option.

So I need to decide today whether to pull the trigger on the Swifts just becuase they are available. if I do, then they too will sit on a shelf, probably on top of my Eibachs, until the driveway project gets complete.

Then, of course, I will have a nice set of Eibachs for sale.

do it do it do it :stirthepot:

I have Nismo shocks and springs on my car and they don't really lower the ride height, but they are stiffer than stock without making the ride harsh. Overall I think they are a good compromise between ride and performance for the street. Of course they are not adjustable like the KW V3's are.

doens't that actually raise the front like 0.5" though? :confused: i think tj was having issues with his and ended up getting the swift springs.

yah, im all for customization so i would require the damper adjustability. :)
now if Koni released yellows for our cars i'd probably just do that, or maybe hitachi/d-specs or something. :p

Koni has no intentions of releasing anything :-/

really.. sounds very germanish to me. :icon23: WTF. ;)

Yeah, very disappointing. Part of the reason I want to move from the platform.


Spoken with a rep a couple times about it. Current status is no plans to do anything for z34 in the next 3 years.

LOL why not just get KW's V3's like i'll probably end up getting instead? or maybe HKS or something? that's hardly a reason to dump the entire car. :rofl2:

^ I agree Red!!! stay with the Z family man! Just think how good your invidia sounds :D

According to Nissan the 370Z Nismo strut and spring kit is supposed to provide a drop of 10 mm or .4 inches compared to the OEM suspension. That's not much, but I would say it is about right on my car.

Crappy aftermarket, not just lack of yellows. :rofl2:

Daaaaammmmmiiiittttt.

I actually had two girls stop me at lunch to compliment my car... They both mentioned how good the exhaust sounded :tup:


And then, daaaaaammmmmmiiiiitttt I'm married....

At the expense of an awful ride.

to some fat midwestern fat cow? :icon17:

Wat?

:rofl2:

I don't think the ride is bad at all. My 370Z rides much better than my modified 350Z does and it handles just as well.

Picked up three 5qt Mobil1 today. Going to do the G's oil change over the weekend. Z's change in early Aug. Not sure when the Fit needs change but got Mobil1 silver cap as well but in 5W20. :D

I drove to work and training afterwards

Coming to a light, I had to quickly stop, downshifted to 2nd, the sound of the back pressure (love it) scared some lady who was getting into her parked car and she dropped her shopping bags lol.

I dunno...it made me laugh :)

Alright, well here she is with just the front removed.

I might get the front redone in a lighter shade after the ticket gets signed off by the CHP tomorrow.

you got a ticket for your tint? by CHP?!?! wth they stopped you on the freeway just for tint?

I got a fix-it ticket like 4 blocks from the ocean in Manhattan Beach by the MBPD so I removed the front tint to get it signed off.

I have been told that if you take it to the CHP they won't charge you to sign it off so that's why I am taking it there.

gotcha

nice z33 :)

Thanks Pare :tup:

:icon18:

Alright guys... So what I did with my Z today....spent a couple hours after work detailing the Z, and also, as requested, I took some better shots of the 3M Scotchprint 1080 CF using my DSLR :) My evo 3d smartphone is nice, but it's still a phone and it shoots pics worth $h!t. Oh Ken, btw, I called my insurance guy, no dice on the discount for clearbra-ing the headlights :icon14:

So, anyway, washed Zena with ONR (no hose, double bucket wash), dried with FK425, then waxed with Supernatural Hybrid over existing Supernatural from 1 week ago. Mmmmm... Supernatural is my new favorite wax.

Well done sir! :tup:

Thanks happy... I appreciate it.

Oh by the way, to answer your question from before... no issue with the 3M wrap being used by the exhaust. From what I read in the specs, and my talk with my installer, it should tolerate the heat from the exhaust with no issues. If not, it's warrantied anyway. You should go ahead and wrap yours too!!! I love mine! Next up, front bumper black trim, b-pillars, and kick plates.

And btw, the Civic has 95k miles!!! :D had her since new, 80 miles off the lot.
