Nismo body kit and sways inst'd, SS brake lines inst'd, and tein 1/2 inst'd (PICS)!!!
 

so i got most of the stuff put on. only thing left to do is put the front coilovers on, and run the wiring for the EDFC. i need a spring compressor to remove the stockers.. (which you dont for the rears).

the car is still on jack stands. i have not taken pics of the body kit on the car, cause its dirty :)

ask any questions... here are some pics to enjoy:

comparo of skirts...

front sway comparo

rear sway comparo:

rear ss line installed... very clean compared to stock.


note nismo rear sway at bottom

stock rear garbage lines:

cool
 

Looks cool. Post some picts of the transfomation, bet it looks sinister. What did the body kit and the suspension pieces cost?? How does the handling feel now??

front ss line installed


notice nismo front sway in pic.

Where did you get the SS lines and are they for the Brembos ? How much did they cost? I see from your sig. that they are for Brembos...Great.

stock front garbage lines... looks like a rig...

rear corner complete:

another angle

last one:

Coolness. If the Teins let you kill the concrete porpoise, I may have to spend some bucks :) Waiting on your review.

Thats sweet. I can't wait to see the finished product.

ok a bonus hi-res pic, since you cared to look in the thread...

here is the car right now. you can see the nismo body kit installed (notice spoiler also!)

also the front markers are now LED'd and also blinking enabled.

thanks for looking!

nismo sways are slightly larger, and prettier in color. dont know ride diff yet.

nismo body parts are stiffer than stock. pieces mount in similar fashion with slight differences.

i took pics of install but doesnt seem helpful... when you have the parts infront of you, it just makes sense.

body kit i got from graham at japanparts.com, suspension i got from monkey man on the board. contact them for pricing.

ss lines are from stoptech. they work on any model Z.

i spent more time drilling 1" holes in the rear strut bar for the EDFC wiring, than anything else. so far i have about 8 hours into it, but thats with documenting and experimenting. my guess is another 4 hours max to get the suspension and electronics finished.

Questions

1. What is the Diameter of the front bar?
2. Is the Nismo Bar Hollow like the Stock one?
3. Did Nismo give any percentage stiffness over stock? Like 25% stiffer than stock..
4. Are the Tein shocks single or double adjustable?


Thanks,

Are you telling me/us you're installing this stuff yourself?:confused:
wow. I can't even begin to keep up:)

1) dunno, will measure when i get finished
2) yes
3) no
4) double... spring rate and ride height.
