Talking Thanks

Hey everyone thanks for the kind words. I have one more exterior mod to do...otherwise this is it. I wanna insure the car retains its "Nismo-ness".

About the camber adjustments. I went with factory spec to be honest with you. I do not track the car, so really I just want to enjoy an aggressive stance without the cost. Be warned...and I didn't realize until I was already into this...I had to replace my front arms to accommodate the new ride height. This was the only way I was able to put the front back to factory spec camber. I went with Stillen.

Also, I had to roll the rear fenders (no way around it).

I'm thinking my last exterior mod will be the Cin headlights (black backdrop...blue halo).

Wanna say thanks to Intense Motorsports of Phoenix, AZ (also a sponsor of this site).

Dang, you lowered a Nismo Z? I'd be afraid to do it.

The car looks like a beast after what you did to it. Nice!

Wow...surprised no one slammed me yet for doing this to the Nismo , but I'm happy it's nothing but positive feedback (so far).

I was afraid to lower it but something funny happened. With the stock 18" wheels it sits really low in the front. When I put 19"wheels up front and then lowered it I'm sitting at almost the exact same height...maybe a little lower, but not by much. Speed bumps and driveways feel exactly the same.

Thanks

Thanks lgear080, I'll see what I can do, but I suck as a photographer. I might have to find someone else to hook me up.
