N15MNO,

 

I have just fitted a K+N Typhoon kit to my Zed and it is awesome!! The sound under hard acceleration is incredible. I'm just finishing off a few other jobs on my Zed and then I'll be posting photos up so you can see it fitted.

 

What sort of BHP gains would you expect to get from the remap?

 

Craig.

Hiya.. well i kinda like them as they are... did u change yours? what do u suggest?

 

Yes I changed mine. IMO the 18's are swallowed by the arches once the nismo kit is added. Some nice 19's with an aggressive offset will bring the wheels out of the arches. If you look at one of your pics, the rear wheels are inside the arches. Mine looked like this:

All IMO of course :blush:

Get some 19" wheels, mate. Seriously, the photos don't do them justice. B)

Bigphil,

 

Do you have to fit uprated / longer bolts / studs due to the extra stress placed upon them because of the 20mm spacers?

 

Craig.

 

We only use the hub centric spacers which bolt on to the hub using the existng lugs and the spacer then has it's own new lugs for the wheels.

These are specific bore for the 350Z so no spigots to centralise the wheel, absolute perfect fit.

We have had them on a numbr of cars and have checked bearings etc with no issues or signs of advanced wear.

3. Grounding Kit

 

Make me a sensible offer for my 1 year old Spill's kit just about to come off my 05/55 and it's yours. Full colour instructions included. I assume it will fit the JDM but no doubt somebody on here will tell for sure. Cost £62+P&P new. PM me if interested.

The Eibach, which we prefer, are £185 for the two pairs including delivery.
