Just took it out on a Sunday stroll... And switched out the walnut **** for a different better fit for my hand walnut ****.

 

Finally did wiper delete mod. Sorry for nasty car 🚗 just rained yesterday here in SoCal

 

Gave it a quick clean up and took it for a Sunday drive. Sunset overlooking the west coast of Barbados.

 

Finally got around to doing my suspension...

Bilstein B8's, Swift Springs, new mounts, and spring cups all around.







I'm thinking of doing some F/R 20mm/25mm Eibach spacers. I have rear wheels up front so they already poke another 4mm over a stock setup.

Also figured since I got this a while ago I might as well throw it in there...





Then I swapped out the Zspeed slave brake fluid, and lawd was it nasty for only being not even a year old.

 

Forgot I also did the tap washer mod to the hatch lid pop-up springs. 3 minutes work and it works perfectly now!

 

Looks good... I was going to ask if your running spacers, I was thinking about getting some 20-25 spacers also... Just spent the last few hours reading multiple threads about different spacers and brands etc....

They sell the eiback at summit racing and I believe zspeed... None of the threads ive read mention them though... The 370 site seems to talk about A&H a lot.. And the official wheel spacer thread in this site talks about some brand I never heard about ichiba V2... I was thinking about getting the eiback or the Z1 spacers...

 

I just placed an order for some B2 Auto Designs 20/25mm spacers. I think Eibach and H&R are the go-to brands but have read the B2's are quality pieces for a lot less dough. Supposedly some kind of Aluminum/Magnesium hybrid alloy. I'm gonna give them a shot- I usually have my wheels off once a month anyway so I'll keep a close eye on them at first.

Ichiba's I would not purchase if my life depended on it- oh wait- see what I did there ?

I'm not a fan of spacers, but I'm local to B2 and a friend has had their spacers for a few years. No issues and they look to be of high quality.

 

My disdain for spacers is near legendary..... YET, I use them because I'm a sucker for a good deal on a set of good wheels with slightly off offsets so....in order to indulge myself, I do use no brand spacers that are sourced locally (but through EBay) and I cannot tell any difference between these 6061 T6 CNC'd units and the name brands...Itchybas, Aitchenar, etc.

This vendor sells a LOT of spacers.... I personally have 6 sets just to tweak offsets with. Just installed two sets on my Shiro because I don't push or intend to push it that hard in the hills... BUT, that said, both of my other Z's also have at least one pair F or R. One using a 20mm to properly fit my 370Z Nismo S-Tunes. And I have and do push those using the spacers.

So far so good. < knock on my wooden head >

 

Trav told me about the B2's seems like a good deal, the Z1 spacers go for about the same price once you factor in shipping.

I dont think anyone is a big fan of spacers, but if you want to use factory wheels it seems like a reasonable option...

Also not too many options readily available in 10mm-0 offset wheels

 

Yep. My front S-Tune wheels have an offset that make Honda wheels laugh at them..... +47! I run 'em at +27 and they're just fine.



And I run my Volks at effective +14 thanks to spacers...

...and +9 when they're on the Niz (unlowered and can fit them easily)

So yeah, always have a set (or a few sets) of spacers in my tool box. Just bought another set last night to lower the offset some more on my LMZ5s.

 

Nothing yet, but prepping for Saturday. Everything but my fender roller came in the mail Friday / Saturday, with the fender roller coming in today.

This upcoming Saturday the plan is to roll the fenders, debadge the car, put the MotorDyne XYZ and Tomei exhaust on, put the Enkei RPF1's on. If time allows a wash as well lol.

I also bought a bunch of tools to make this process as easy as possible.

 

I don't WANT to use them- if Mic is feeling generous and wants to give me his staggered Track V2's I'd gladly take them off his hands! I actually remember a FS thread for those- probably doesn't even have them anymore- goes through wheels like I go through underwear- use them, get 'em dirty, clean 'em up and sell 'em to someone else... err... something like that.

I'm no big fan of spacers either, but it's good to hear you guys are using (and even pushing) the car without issue. I really hate to put them on. With the stock ride height it didn't bother me much, but after lowering the car it's made it REALLY obvious. Until I can justify some nice wheels or find a deal I can't pass up- these will have to do.

 

If you want some spacers, I am selling some b2autodesigns hubcentric v2 25mm and 30mm spacers.

 

Got the Z a companion. Goodbye to having a productive Spring Break working on the car.

 

Ordered some wheels.
19x9.5/10.5
Was going to be very conservative on the offsets at first but at the very last moment changed my mind and gunned down +12 all around instead. Was gonna roll my rears someday anyway so might as well.

 

ive had spacers on mine for 5 years.. no regrets or issues.. my stockers are uniquely bad ***.. have not found an aftermarket I like better.

 

 

Mind me asking, what shift **** is that?
