Just got the Nismo suspension, Nismo side skirts & rear unders installed Friday. The front lip will be installed next weekend. The suspension will lower the Z 3/4 - 7/8" after it settles in a few weeks - right now it's dropped an 1/8" in the 2 days it's been on. The difference in handling was immediate after install - a little stiffer (what I wanted), no more body lean or nose diving - pretty cool feeling! If you were going to track your Z, I would recommend an adjustable setup - Tein, for example - but for me as a daily driver, the Nismo kit is perfect - improved steering response, a little more firm ride, and a subtle drop that keeps the alignment issue in check. The install was pretty straight forward - simple bolt off, bolt on. The book time is approx. 4.2 hours, but my tech had it done in 2 hours. You need to align the car both after install & after 3-4 weeks (after it settles).

As for the Nismo side skirts & rear unders, again a pretty straight forward install - the side skirts were a piece of cake. The rear unders & the front lip (when it is installed next weekend) takes a little more guts - gotta drill a few oblong holes in both the front & rear bumpers (yikes!). After making sure the enclosed template is taped on correctly, it is pretty simple. Was torn between 2 pretty subtle kits - Nismo & Veilside - but decided to go for the Nismo due to the great prices Perfromance Nissan is offering (Thanks Jason & Jeff!!).

Here's a couple shots for now. Will post more next weekend after the front lip goes on. Gonna keep the OEM Niisan rear spoiler on - I like the "low-slung" effect - seems to compliment the lower look the aeros add.

 

Rear side view........

 

After the front lip gets installed, I'm thinking about having the lip & the rear unders molded into the body this winter...we'll see....

 

Awesome...well done....

 

wow,what a big difference between JDM and USDM>

 

Sweet.......congrat's Jack. It's going to be sick ride when you get done.

By the way finally got my Evostyle silver turn signal bulbs in and installed Sunday. Your right it looks so much cleaner.

 

I'm liking that US Version.

the sides are very agressive looking on the USDM... is there a difference in the appearance of the front lip?

 

I'll post pics as soon as it's installed this weekend.....

 

Hey Miles - Yes, the bulbs are great, huh? I knew you'd like 'em! Stop by the Thurs. night "get-together & let me check 'em out.

The Nismo (USA) front lip will be installed tomorrow late afternoon (Sat). Will get pics up this weekend........Yippee!!

 

i was just gonna say ... the us version is much more obvious and aggressive. i was planning on getting the nismo kit too, now i wonder whether to go with jdm or usdm.

 

Yeah... the bulges in the usdm sideskirts are really... Blam!! I dont know if it's just me, but the rear skirts look slightly different design too...

 

As mentioned, got the Nismo front lip installed this weekend. A few pics.........
