4myZ350,
I went with the 1/4" spacer so I could keep the strut bar and stock look (I doubt the cops or smog guys would even notice) and get the best bang for the buck.
In this graph it shows the comparison between 1/4" and 1/2" spacers to stock. The 1/2" only ends up marginally better, just a few hp more than the 1/4, while both have a considerable gains over stock. It just doesn't seem worth the strut bar issue for such a minor gain.

Your place would probably be perfect, I'll have a BBQ chicken breast with #3 Firehouse sauce and a Coke

When you say POOL are we shooting or swimming?

Chris

 

Talk to the cook( ? ARVIN) on the chicken you want to eat.........Shooting Pool...........thanks on the 1/4 " spacer info, That's what it will be.


OK ! I found the list , put my name on it , then lift and I don't know where to send the money. DON"T START ALL ! Chris do you have the address? thanks ahead. How many in this area are on the list?

 

It looks like you already paid 4myZ350 but in case anyone else has trouble finding this info

Chris

 

thanks Chris . Spacer 1/4 " 150+ tax 12.38 + shipping 13.95 = 176.33$ lets go get them ALL ( you to ARVIN )

 

what is the >25 160$ & +25 150$ Chris witch one.LOLing














which-----he he !

 

So where/when are we meeting then?

I hope its not during finals HAHa!

ravi

 

Relax, we're on it.
When are your finals? It won't be then.

We also need to wait until we know everybody has what they want, it wont work if we all stand around talking about the parts we wanted to install but have not received yet.

4myZ350

the price is less than 25 buyers / more than 25 buyer on the group buy. It looks like they have more, so it would be the lower price.

Chris

 

Cool--didnt want to sound like I'm rushing, I'm just very excited .

Finals are pretty much the first week of may, but if necessary I'll still come to the bay (assuming its not a test day) because there are off days in between.

Thanks again!

ravi

 

DAA ! 1st i thought >/+ something in side, then sent the 150$ +T & +S . BOY do I know cars !!

 

Hey, Tony is already shipping these so if you are not on board and want one, get over there NOW, He said prices will never be this low again.

Some future Saturday will work best me with enough notice, I got Work stuff, Z stuff, Mini stuff and Wife stuff (not in order of importance) so it's a careful balance. Maybe the 30th of April, how does that work for you guys?

So far it looks like we have

1) HyperSprite (bringing tools and helping hand)
2) Bubble (spacer install)
3) GQ 350z (spacer install)
4) GTNPU Z (hang out)
4) 4myZ350 (spacer install)

Anyone else?

If the numbers stay low, we could do the installs, eat some lunch and go for a quick drive out on Camino Tassajara or something.

and message board tags too

Chris

 

hey guys.. i'm down.. just ordered 3/8" for my g35.. assuming we all get ours by the 30th that would be a good time for me

 

30th may work, I have to find out if I'll get my spacer by then.

ravi

 

Hi Chris,
I've installed so many of these things at GTG's and dyno days that I found the biggest help is a cordless drill with a 10mm socket.

Use it only to zip the bolts in and out. Use the lowest torque setting on the cordless. It is only to save you a lot of cumulative time bending over the car. You will notice after the 4th or 5th install your back muscles will be fried. So the cordless is a big help. It will save a lot of time from ratcheting and ratcheting and ratcheting and ratcheting.... And ratcheting and ratcheting and ....

Use a normal wrench, or torque wrench, to do the initial cracking and loosening of the bolts, then zip them out with the cordless.

When reinstalling the new longer bolts put them in by hand only 1 or 2 threads, zip them down with the cordless at minimum torque, then tighten to spec with your torque wrench.

Installation will go much faster and your back will appreciate it!

Tony

PS a 4mm socket won't always fit the Torx stud, but using a 4mm socket can save a lot of time removing them. The upsidedown nut trick works every time but is more time consuming.

 

No problem, we'll keep the date loose until we know everybody is ready, I picked the 30th because of the run on the 7th, we could shift to the 14th if we need to.

Chris

1) HyperSprite (bringing tools and helping hand)
2) Bubble (spacer install)
3) GQ 350z (spacer install)
4) GTNPU Z (hang out)
4) 4myZ350 (spacer install)
5) sagi (spacer install)

 

1) 30th work from my end.---ARVIN get in on this --
2) C. Tassajara to Highland east to Livermore has some [I]nice corners[/I]

 

1) HyperSprite (bringing tools and helping hand)
2) Bubble (spacer install)
3) GQ 350z (spacer install)
4) GTNPU Z (hang out)
4) 4myZ350 (spacer install)
5) sagi (spacer install G35)
6) drsifu (spacer install G35 if before 12:30 pm. I can bring a couple of cordless drills and bits)

great to have a list, but still no location, right?

 

We could start around 10:30 and drsifu done first so he is ready to go when he needs to.

I think were gonna do it at 4myZ350s place in San Ramon.

Date is still open but looking at the 30th. and 14th. pending spacer delivery and people availability.

Chris

 

Damn, so no more livermore eh =( I'll do my best to come.

 

where is San Ramon? how far is it from SJ? BTW, about the spacer, is anyone know when they will ship out?

 

4miles nor. of I-580 & I-680 13miles from Liv. & 27 miles from Milpitas.

There shipping paid orders on the 21st & 22nd , we'll all have are parts by the 30th.
