Hey, welcome! Probably your best source for finding the answers to your questions would be to start by searching the forums - I know you'll be able to find some information about the nitrous option. As far as the rims/tires, I haven't heard anything about any inside rubbing yet, although I'm not sure about the rims/tire + drop. Hmmm...

Good luck! Sounds like a solid ride, post some pics!

Welcome to the site

What do you think of the Underdrive pulleys. Did you notice any gains from them and how hard were they to install. Any picks of your car?

hey bro, i am working on the pics(no digi camera) and will have them up soon. i used the unorthadox racing underdrive pullys. they made a noticable difference, nothing big but enough to realize there was something different bout the car. i did not do the installation myself but i was able to pick up the car the same day as i dropped it off so would imagine it isnt terrible. see ya

Pearl350Z:

I spoke to the guys at HRE that drove the HRE SEMA show car from San Diego to LA for 2 weeks straight over 200 miles a day. They had 275/30-19 ft and 295/30-19 rears with Eibach lowering kit. He said it never rubbbed, handled great. Here is a pic of that car so you can see the set up. I also have HRE wheels with 265/30-18 and 295/30-18 wheels. No rubbing or porblems what so ever.

I hope this helps. I am concerned about long term shock wear on Eibachs so if anyone can address it, I would appreciate it.
