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

DeliriousClam · 05-22-2017, 07:18 PM

I flushed most of the clutch fluid. Emptied the reservoir, filled with clean fluid, pumped the clutch ~100 times, emptied the reservoir again and repeated until the fluid remained clean. Now I know it won't be a full flush until I use the bleeder underneath but this changed most of it.

Today, I washed 9 hours of rain, and road grim off the Z. It rained almost all the way home from ZDayZ. I also found a piece of someone's tire stuck in my grille screen.

Who ever I was following on the Dragon must been chucking a tire.

And I had some black marks on the front bumper and hood.

Tomorrow, I have to clean out the inside. Have cookie crumbs, nuts and snacks that got dropped during the trip.

When we take a trip. It's teriyaki beef jerky, pretzel rods, nuts, cookies, ice tea, and gator aide.

Today is May 25th, 2017. Exactly a year ago, I purchased my Z, on May 25th, 2016, with only 14 miles on it.

Something I've been wanting to do for a very long time is some suspension stuff.

So with that in mind, and as a little celebration of sorts, just a few minutes ago I ordered a set of ARK GT-S springs, SPL rear camber links, and SPL lockout bolts. So a little more attitude with a little less altitude.

Needless to say, I'm a bit excited.

One last thing I would like to possibly do is maybe some small wheel spacers just to being these Nismo wheels (and stock tire sizes) out a touch further. Need to find out what sizes would work.

You're gonna have people chime in who's been there & done that w/their Nismo...common fitment is +20---+25 up front & +10---+15 rear.
Your factory wheels are +40F/+23R.
So 15-20mm up front & around 10mm/R,
Wait till after your suspension mods/alignment & make a plumb line on level ground-then measure up your gaps....you may want to be conservative or aggressive.

.
That would be my recommendation,so you can get the fitment you desire.

Excellent! Thank you.

Yeah, I was getting tired when I posted last night and forgot to mention that I would be doing the spacers after the spring install. Who knows, I may like the fitment as is.

One thing I don't want is vibration. When I had the 25mm Z1 spacers installed on the stock 18's and tires, I always got vibration up at 55+ mph, especially around 70-75 mph where I cruise at on the highway. It was annoying as hell too.

And yes, they were installed properly, and even double checked a few days later to try and resolve the vibration issue.

Did z1 post maf tubes + k&n drop ins, installed swift springs and 20/25mm spacers! Also put in backup camera integrated into the oem navi over the weekend. Will be doing test pipes and exhaust soon.

Haha I hardly drive as I live within a 10 min local drive to work, so I rarely see police on the road when I'm in the Z
