Haha same here. I keep saying that I need work as a driver. I'm lucky I haven't modded the car beyond my own control or abilities. I was worried about that for a while but I seem to be controlling it well enough. Just have to refine my techniques now.

Luckily I have some top level talent in my region (unfortunately none are ASP) so at least on index I have a pretty good gauge of where I stand. Additionally I had the chance to go head to head with Aaron Miller and the current ASP national champ (can't remember his name) out at Peru this summer. Unfortunately it wasn't until after that weekend that something just clicked and I was able to drop a few additional seconds on an average 50 sec course.

Those of you running a 295 up front, what size wheel and offset are you using? I am leaning towards a square setup for next season but keeping the stock Nismo suspension for now

gomer_110 · 10-31-2014, 06:57 AM

Front: 18x10 +30
Rear: 18x11 +18

315/30-18 Hoosiers on all 4 corners. In all reality the 315 wants a wheel wider than 10" to be happy, but it does work on a 10" wide wheel.

Also don't waste your time with 295's just go to the 315's and call it a day. When I made the switch it was remarkable how much happier the car was.

I will be running G Force Rivals next year and they do come in 315/30/18 so that's good news. What wheels are you using? Bigger is always better! I ran a 275/295 stagger on AD08's and had decent luck but it's time to go wider since I will finally have a dedicated autox set.

18x11 315 on front and 18x12 335 out back is where you need to look for a 370z

PharmDZ · 10-31-2014, 03:31 PM

I run my 295/30r19 hoosier A6 on the stock Rays sport rim (9 inch wide). They're pinched a bit but they don't rub and works very well for me.

gomer_110 · 10-31-2014, 08:38 PM

The wheels I'm running are Volk TE37SL's.

mdxj · 10-31-2014, 08:53 PM

And those are out of my range right now haha. I have something to shoot for though since a 315 works up front. I enjoy the offseason just as much since it's the only chance I have to build

370zproject · 11-03-2014, 10:13 PM

so without reading 41 pages... stillen front sway bar is the way to go for daily and tracking every now and then?

Rusty · 11-03-2014, 10:27 PM

Hotchkis front bar with the stock rear bar.

gotcha what set up are you using and do you daily drive yours?

redline10000 · 11-06-2014, 10:50 AM

Anyone here try having Delrin offset bushings made for the 370z upper control arm? I was thinking about using these instead of camber arms since they are much cheap and work just as well. Just gotta find a shop.
