SOOOOO, i know i'm having a bad year now. Today i got the tires mounted onto the wheels, the shop nicked the lips here and there so they are no longer in perfect condition and the shops deny this. I didn't care as i can get this fixed and was just tired of my bad streaks with these wheels. So i go to mount them on the Z and while trying to remove the rear spacer, two nuts were over tightened and i'm going to have to take it to a shop to remove it. Tried to put the front wheel on and come to find out, i need a +20mm spacer, i only have a +15 and found out the hard way tonight what happens with that little bit of space (brembo caliper is now trimmed as far as the paint on it goes....SO YAY, i'm leaving my Z in the garage and not doing anything to it until 2012, this BAD BAD BAD streak of luck i've been having is just not going away. I say this cause my bike puked coolant everywhere yesterday after a nice long ride, came into the garage, shut it off, and COOLANT came gushing out of the bottom leaving a nice pool. So i am going to enjoy my beater subaru and just prep the parts for install next year. Its been fun but i'm taking a break until fate gets its stick outta its A$$. But for now, here's some pic's i took at least cause a thread without pic's isn't a thread at all right? And yes, that is TWO nismo's at my home, i have kingbaby's nismo so at least hawaii can have ONE nismo at wekfest tomorrow morning!

Glad to see you made it to your place without being pulled over in my illegalmachine...
So spacers are needed for the front to fit? Man, sucks leave you with the only possible options go awesome by that I mean add spacers front and rear equally then flare and drop that bad boy!
Once you get that wing and hood, and whatever else you got planned on the Z in 2012 it's gonna be something else...

Sucks bro. How did you scrape all the paint off the Brembo's? Did you force the wheel on or something? I feel your pain on this year sucking. Last march I fugged up my hand real bad. Last wednesday I had my 5th surgery. Hopefully it was my last. Good luck with the car!

shi**y bust man, i feel your pain as far as stupid little things that go wrong and bug the crap out of ya, hope it won't cost ya to much to get it fixed up right. Iv been looking at what rims would look good on the silver nismo and your's look like a deadly choice. keep up the good work to bad your taking a break but sometimes it's good to take a step back for a bit. GL in the future

Yea, theres ALOT of things coming to my house this month, alot of backordered parts coming in and ALOT of aero parts going on, old nismo graphics coming off and new graphics scheme goin on, new hood, new fixed back seat, just a bunch of things and finally installing crap thats been sitting in the garage. I wanted to make it in time to wekfest today but that shot me in the foot, so i needed to back up and take time now on the Z.

ah....bad news today.....EVEN when i'm not doing anything, it still follows...wifey was taking something out of her trunk and tripped on one of the front wheels...in turn it fell on its face....couple scuff marks all the way around the rim...i really can't catch a break at all.

Hey guys, finally put on both rear wheels and if i take the spacers off, i'll be straight for the most part, the height is already perfect in the rear with 1.8 camber!!!!! So i think i'm good surprisingly. Can't put the fronts on cause yea, need to move the +20 spacers from the rear to the front, BUTTTT i found the nut i lost for the spacer!!! So today is a good day!!! so good that i took photos but it was hot outside so i took a little and went back into a/c, man....hawaii is hot even though its cool outside....anyways, here are the pic's with kingbaby's Z as reference.
