That looks like it will scrape on cats eyes! done well to tuck the wheels in though. Its erm... Slightly too low.. I may raise the front half an inch for peace of mind.. I need to remove the annoying plastic cover thats dragging around underneath, but i cant hElp but love the stance it gives it. 24 minutes ago, davey_83 said: Moving quick!! Having the mix of 18's and 19's works well on the 350z. Kinda plays with your eyes at first, must look amazing in real life. That is FCUKING low for static. Wrap headlamps next?..... haha, ive been waiting to get the damn wheels on for so long! Something needs doing with the lights for sure.... Whether i tint the lenses or go for the Depo's im not sure though... Exhausts next though, my flexi's are absolutely fooked..

msitpro Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 (edited) What toe arms did you go for in the end? Did you get camber arms and lockout bolts to go with them? I put Voodoo13 camber and tow arms on the rear along with the same BC true coils yesterday (no photos yet as was in a rush due to having to grind off two of the eccentric bolts and at stock height as dad was shutting up his garage) Driving around today and the increase in road noise is incredible going from OEM rubber bushes to the solid chromoly ends and bushes As long as it's defo the solid bushes causing the extra noise I'm fine with that, as long as nothing's broken! (I've double checked everything seems fine) One thing I am going to do next week is put a load of rubber seal stuff between the top of the struts and the turrets to hopefully reduce the noise a bit. Already have the rubber seal so it's a free hit. Handling is certainly very different, seems to go much more directly where you point the car. More focused. You know what they say - go hard or go home Edited September 21, 2018 by msitpro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know what they say - go hard or go home Being totally honest, i havent even fitted the arms yet.. I was kinda lazy after realising i didnt actually foul on the bucket. But i really do need to change them all over. How low did you go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom_K Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 As said, that is damn low for a static set-up!! I do like that plate holder though, how secure is it in the upright position? Not trying to nit-pick but it looks like it could be a bit wobbly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s surprisingly sturdy, because when it’s upright it’s at a very slight angle... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in a massive rush and only done rear atm, so I set them at stock height (measured against original shock) This Thursday I'll put fronts on and set height. I'll probably go somewhere around 20-25mm lower I suspect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D12TEE Posted September 24, 2018 Author Share Posted September 24, 2018 (edited) Small little video of it, looking menacing in the rain.. Think my minds been made up that i need to fit the louvres though.... Think it'll finish the exterior styling perfectly with the direction its going.

D12TEE Posted October 1, 2018 Author Share Posted October 1, 2018 (edited) So, bit of an update.. Im booked in tomorrow for a custom exhaust to try and get it sat up a bit more so i can run the ride height i want without dragging it all over Sussex. Ive got a Stillen Y-Pipe to fit which combats the problem with the flexi's. Next up is fitting the adjustable arms and getting the tracking and geo sorted, then ill be looking into the getting myself a decent ducktail spoiler. Shameless photo of it sat on Brighton seafront next to something cooler than the Z.. (Numberplate was put back up after the photo incase the numberplate police decide to come out) Edited October 1, 2018 by D12TEE 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D12TEE Posted October 15, 2018 Author Share Posted October 15, 2018 Really good day yesterday at Lancing Motor Show, 850+ cars, and a lot of attention by all ages (i'm actually shocked at the interest and attention these things get from 40/50 year olds compared to the younger lot). Favourite photo from the day.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msitpro Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 That ride height is absolutely insane!!! I had mine sitting with the front arches about 1cm lower than the top of my front tyres - 245/40/18, I have since raised the height 1cm so it's sitting flush because I was scraping my Nismo v2 bumper on the down slope of most speed bumps (admittedly it is a deeper, lower bumper) and scraping my centre section of exhaust, even though it doesn't hang down. You must be about 4cm lower than that!!! Speed bumps must be an absolute no-go?? You'd get 'beached' surely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
