Are you going to get a front camber kit? What did you not like about your alignment?

Yes I will be getting a set of adjustable A-arms for the front. The front has an issue with alignment (camber) on the left front.

The rear has an issue with camber on the left rear. Not big but enough for me. I am a bit picky.

Vector,

Glad to know that there is another NISMO around. I live in Canton and once tried to purchase #606 from Dick Scott but they wouldn't budge from MSRP. When did you buy the car?

Also, I met the local group this Saturday for a mod party. Following are pics from the party.

Where are you located at?

Wow,

Nice to know there is another Nismo around. I only heard rumors that there was a red one spotted on Hall Road. Never seen it around.

I picked my car up in January

I live in Troy.

I must admit, the General Manager and I were good friends. He is no longer at Dick Scott. He gave me the deal of a lifetime on the car. I was in for some warranty work on my Titan and they needed to keep the truck over night. They were going to send me home in a KIA. I wasnt about to drive that home, so I purchased the Nismo on a whim and the rest is history. They made an offer that was too good to be true and I ran with it.

so with the problems with teh alignment, wat exactly does it mean? my braces came in today and i was going to put them on and just have it factory aligned again, but due to my lack of suspension knowledge, how bad is it to have these braces then?

Its not the braces. The fundimental set up of the car is off. With or without the braces. So its a structural issue.

You couldn't get back to factory spec, or did you want different alignment settings?

Well the car has 1500 miles on it and it is not in factory spec. The car has not been in any accident. It is off by -1.7 degrees of camber in the left front and -2.7 on the left rear. The right side has no issue with coming in to spec. Its an issue with how the car was built. So the only way to overcome it is to buy a fully adjustable suspension set up.

System sounds good,

Pioneer AVIC F90BT head unit
Pioneer GEX-P10HD High Definition Tuner
(3) Blade Technologies SE4.2 Class D dual monoblock amplifiers (200wpc ea)
Poweracoustik 20 farad capacitor
Pioneer Premier TSW1500SPL 10" subs
(2 pair) Pioneer Premier TS-C160R 6.5”

All wiring is Phoenix Gold, stuff I had when I was pro sponsored by them. Also the Blade amps are from an old pro sponsorship.

I'm liking the brake duct kit! I did not know Nissan offered that! Quite beneficial!
