What's the spec's on your front rims?

A wide body kit is in your future.

19x9.5+22 it’s less than 5mm away from the knuckle or whatever you want to call the big thing that holds the hub. Wisefab widens our track width by 3 inches or so. I have almost no 19’’ wheel option to go in more. I really dislike widebody kits and would really like someone to make over fenders like the 350s. Can’t run camber because Wisefab fixes camber gain.

Glad this thread is here and hope it gets filled. I’ll be making some kind of journal as I do a little bit more work.

Recently “totaled” my 09 nismo. It had very minimal damage but i bought it back and fixed the important stuff so far and I’m looking to source out different parts.

Junk yards around me (pa, ny, ma) typically sell a diff for 50-100 dollars but obviously finding a 370 in a junk yard is near impossible. There’s a handful of 350z’s and I’m gonna try to mount one and see if there much of a difference. I could be wrong but they look damn near identical. Finding a 370z base or touring diff on facebook marketplace is just as hard and obviously shipping is not really possible.

I’m not ready for big boy wisefab yet, maybe next season but so far I have the simple stuff, mishimoto oil cooler, which, I’ll probably have to upgrade in the future due to our zs running hot as balls, bc coilovers, rack spacers, ground down bump stops, currently fabricating my own solid diff bushings, and of course put my nardi in to get rid of that airbag that went off in my face lol. Deleting this yaw sensors and abs fuses today or tomorrow and debating if I want to move the battery to the trunk to open up some space to relocate the power steering reservoir. But for now this is her. Still trying to source a drivers fender and hood if anyone knows someone.

Also feel free to contact this guy. Super nice dude. The only thing he has on his nismo (daily that he drifts. He also competes with a 350) is a tune, welded diff, hydro, springs, exhaust, and diff bushings.

Anyone active on here still drift? Getting ready to start building my Z into a drift car. Got some parts coming in hopefully soon and I'll start a build thread to document and help others that decide to go down the same expensive path.
