Put some 10mm spacers on the rear to make the net offset 18x10.5 +10.
Tomorrow, putting some 17mm's on the fronts to make it 18x9 +8

I almost totaled my Z 1 block away from the Nissan Dealership today. That's what I did for it today. Ha ha. FML!

Not a huge fan of the apr wing either, but you definitely did it right with the color of the car!

Just ordered 24"x48" of Di-Noc carbon fiber gloss black tape for my interior. I'll post pics when I put them on my door trim and steering wheel.

Also got my Akebono 14" front and rear BBK ftw.
Im not taking the rotors out of the boxes for pics, but DAYMN.. im going to need tp upgrade to 2 piece up front whenever i can afford it.. these are HEEEAVY. Stefan was dead right on that.. wow.. opt for the 2 piece if you can afford it.. i couldnt so here i sit.


Pics dont do justice to how huge these calipers are... this is a small lighter, but still.. they are not OEMish as one may think.

BTW, they are getting fully painted so the Infiniti means nada, they are simply a bit cheaper.

Im contemplating picking up the VIS carbon tunnel hatch next week... at least that will offset the weight of these brake rotors a bit.

you need to raise the leading edge of your wing, I run the same one on the track at about +2 AOA , above 80mph , it really under steers badly. To run negative AOA like you have, you really need a full race splitter up front.

Congrats! The calipers are bigger than Brembos. I love mine.

When are you getting the car back?

Did some more prep work to my V2 bumper. Removed the hood lines then wet sanded the entire bumper to get out the imperfections in the black primer and gel coat...

Only things left on my list is Nismo sides and rear valance parts (maybe a diffuser), coilovers, wheels, tires and paint. Then I'll work on getting an 06 hood.

That's good dedication to do that, esp. after nothing for a year, get some pics up!
