That is a clutch smell. I am 99% sure about it. Since I took mine to the local track and used the clutch hard, it smells just like how you described. Try to slip a clutch a little to see if it smells.

It is difficult to say, but if your only mods are Eibach springs and tires, then the only thing that I can think of that messes up the handling characteristics of the vehicle is the tire size. Non...

Also, Z's rear end already has a good amount of rear end squat to it when the car accelerates. I have a feeling that the Eibach spring spring might make the rear squat more, since the rear rate is...

Just called Eibach to find out what the spring rates are for the Nismo. And I'm not going to lie. The car looks good but Im going to pass on this.

Generally speaking, oem shocks (Nismo also) have a good amount of range to stray from the stock spring rates. I would definitely not run Tanabe, because the ride will be over damped.
