Your car has inspired me to get those wheels now! Looks fantastic!

 

Looks great OP . Please don't get blue calipers, it would look bad if your wheels and brakes are two different shades of blue. Even if they're exactly the same, that's just too much blue IMO. Gold, silver, even yellow calipers would set off your wheels nicely

 

+1 on yellow calipers. They would pop big time behind those wheels

 

2 year old thread..


looks good though.

 

sweet thread bump yo

^ mod list?

 

Thanks terrasmak.

I just posted a video from this event in the track video thread of the Autocross/Road section. https://my350z.com/forum/9673865-post336.html

Mod List:

GTM 25 row oil cooler
Stoptech front BBK
Hotchkis front sway bar
SPL upper control arm
Cobb accessport
Sparco harness bar
Schroth 4pt profi II ASM harnesses
HKS catback exhaust
Curtis hitch
Southsport trailer

 

get rid of that harness bar if you're gonna use a harness.

 

I use the sparco bar with my harnesses what makes you say that?

 

what happens if this happens to you http://cache.jalopnik.com/assets/ima...f764850d11.jpg and you have nothing covering you but you have a harness on with your harness bar?

you die or get paralyzed.

^- that car had a bolt in roll bar too.

 

What would you use for a harness bar then? Harnesses are still safer then seatbelts. A seatbelt wouldnt jave saved that guy either

 

If I wanted a harness I'd either get a full cage or a 4 pt roll bar.

A stock seat belt is built to save you in case of a roll over .. A harness bar and harness is not. Is a sparco harness bar approved for racing because IIRC Kirk roll bars are approved for everything except W2W

Think of it this way, you have a harness and a sparco bar

Yes that bar will hold you in place, yes that harness will hold you in place but if you flip and your roof caves in and your held in with that harness, that sparco bar isn't gonna keep your roof up like a cage would so like I said you'll get paralyzed or die

A stock 3 point seat belt is built to move your shoulders and everything else around to keep you alive during a roll over.

 

Got em all mounted up! Love that I went with the gold lugs. DEFINITELY needs to be lowered, and that's most certainly on deck after I sell the Track V1's and Tires. Love the RPF1's! All business wheel...super lightweight and a sexy look

Specs:

Enkei RPF1 18x9.5 F/18x10.5 R (+15)
Nitto Invo 255/35/R18 F & 295/35/R18

 

^^ nice man, any issues up front on turning are you rolling your rear fenders?

 

No issues up front (yet, I'll update after I lower it), and yes I will be rolling the rear before lowering as well. Right now I've got no clearance issues in the rear lol as you can tell

 

Are you going to add any more camber to the front? I had to add some to get the 275s to tuck in under the fender. You won't need to roll the fender if you just add some negative camber, IMO.

 

I doubt I'll need to. I'm running 255 in the front and it looks like it would clear fine with a drop, but of course all of the is speculation until I get it lower. I will roll the fenders in the rear...I don't see extra camber as a solution until after a roll and slight pull. I'm all about functionality and grip so I'd prefer to not eat up the inside of my tires (talking extreme camber that is)
