gurney- oh yah, would definitely recommend re-alignment as well. :)

Def. on the realignment.

Backed out and pulled into my driveway today with no scraping. Usually those factory deflectors infront of the front wheels scrape.

wait until after supper... lol :icon17:

happy- forgot to mention about the PWJDM knob... i decided to keep it for now. felt good during the drive over the weekend. :) so no TWM biggy type-r knob.

Yu a$$ Kenman. Ya hurt my feelings. I think you need to send me a charboilcheeseburger with cheesy fries as an apology. Make it supersize.:ugh2:

Kenman why is it always about your knob? Get over it :nutswinger:

The drive home proved successful for the thermo to come up to the proper temp! :tup:

The car has 15mm on front and 20mm on rear. I don't follow what you are recommending, sorry.

No, but I almost did when I looked back as I drove away! I really liked the stance of the car.

The dealer is doing that for me as part of the swap.

The sun is shining for the first time in a while here and I got a good look at the full extent of the damage to the nose - the paint is full of spider web cracks in four places. I've got a meeting set-up with State Farm early next week. For what it is going to cost to remove the clear bra, sand down and fix the bumper, I wonder if it wouldn't be cheaper to just start over with a new one. They only cost $550 new. That's for the insurance company to decide.

While I was waiting for my ride to pick me up, I looked at a new Nismo on the showroom floor. The bottom edge of the front spoiler has to be a good two inches higher than mine. The drop turned out to be a lot more than expected.

Look for a new avatar soon. :tup:

You know, I've grown pretty fond of mine as well and have decided to keep it around for a while too! :?

Mine read 61 degrees. Didn't see the temp anywhere that I passed to see how accurate it was.

cool! :tup:


yah, the nismo has taller front springs/stock combo vs base. tj confirmed this when he did the swap. :)

as for the spacers and offset, your car will look lifted with those spacers on. i think your front nismo wheels are ET42 so i would recommend a 10mm spacer up front and rear. the rear might be okay with 5mm spacer.

yep. :tup: the gates felt good, nearly perfect.

Thanks! I was thinking about changing spacers anyway. Once I get the car back, I'll be able to tell what I need. I was thinking about 10mm all around.

I guess that will involve changing the studs again since I got H&R DSR spacers. Can you change 5mm and still use the same studs?

hi gurney- unfortunately probably no because the stock lugs are not deep enough. you'd need to run open lugs and i dont think there are any available for lugs with washers (for hubcentric design wheels).

best bet is to get the 10mm stud replacement spacers and run correct stud lenghts. :)

That's what I'm going to do. I'll wait until I get the car back to decide on the spacer size. It will be going back to the dealer to repair the front bumper nay way.

Thanks for the advice! :tup:
