Richy Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 I hope this is in the correct section. I am picking up my new GT on Sunday, and I seem to remember reading that I need to check that something, not sure what, has been removed by the garage. Something from the engine bay ?The garage I am buying from doesn't normally sell Nissan sports cars, so not sure if they will know what to do. Sorry this is so vague, but can't find the appropriate thread. Can't wait until Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will370z Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 pm sipar69 - he mentioned removing something around the wheels / brakes - they left it on on his new nismo. But i too cannot remember exactly what was left on the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECG1000 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Isn't it some wedge things they slot into the springs to stop the car bouncing around during transit?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GIXXERUK Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Isn't it some wedge things they slot into the springs to stop the car bouncing around during transit?? Yeah it's packIng blocks in the front springs, I've only heard of this on the Nismo cars though but worth a look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sipar69 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Don't worry - it's a Nismo specific issue. They put spacers in the front springs to stop the front lip getting damaged on the boat. Apparently dealers often forget to have them removed (which explains some of the unfairly harsh reviews about the Nismo's ride quality).
