can u get allignment back within factory specs after the s-tune is installed? that was the one thing that strayed me away from the eibachs, so i'm wonderin if this kit will have the same problems.

 

The S-Tune lowers just under an Inch. The wheel camber is not effected to the point where it needs to be adjusted. You want there to be more camber when the car is lowered. but not TOO much.

The S-Tune's only adjustment that can be made is wheel toe.

 

so it's pretty much a bolton and go mod? thanks, man.

 

Yes it is but since the camber is effected we highly recomend getting your car re-aligned.

 

I had someone install mine. After install the car did pull to the right some. But I had nissan align it along with adding that bushing. It helped alot. It prolly costed more than if I would have taken it to a shop, but the rep said if you align it with us you will be covered under the full factory warranty as if we installed the kit ourselves. Some dealers have a problem if you install it yourself.

 

see post below mine

 

Jason, read the warranty again, Yes the MUST be purchased from a authorized Nissan Dealer to be eligible for warranty however ANYONE can install S-Tune parts and have a parts replacement warranty. The advantage with Dealer install is that BOTH parts AND labor are covered. Also ANY dealer MUST honor the warranty, all that is required is proof (sales reciept or Repair Order) from a Nissan Dealer.

Its possible, but Nissan isn't telling anyone in any posts I've read on this site or others. Running changes are just done and manufacturerers do it w/o fanfare or any sort of announcement and Nissan seems to follow that practice.

 

What bushing?

 

i have a vendor who is willing to do a group buy on the nismo s tune and the sways.

both, shipped to your door for less than $1500!

WE need ten to get this deal. I am hoping it will be $1450 shipped but no guarantees on this just yet.

Here is a link to the group buy. Is anyone out there interested in a nismo s tune/sways group buy or is this just a waste of my time?

NISMO S TUNE AND SWAYS GROUP BUY!!!!! (save some dough)

 

too bad Nissan wont warranty the "grey market" stuff comming ashore. Dealer COST is over $1600. on this stuff.

 

Read all-bark's post. He is trying to get a group buy for less than $1500 shipped. Pretty good price.

 

Great price. But it is grey market. Not imported through Nissan USA. Not backed by Nissan USA. Its just like those electronics/camaras ect. you buy cheep in chinatown. You know the ones that come without the warranty/registration card. I can buy 1000 sets from Nissan (I B A Dealer) and I don't get any additional discount. All Dealers pay the same price, one set or 1000. Our cost is $1610. for S-Tune shock/spring/bar set.

 

Its the TSB for any Z that pulls to the right after a certain amount of time. Mine didnt start until my S-tune went on. So I had them replace it when they aligned my s-tune.

 

I am NOT interested in any Nissan product that I have to pay for instead of receiving a fix under my warranty. I will get my car fixed out of my own pocket with reputable aftermarket suppliers if Nissan won't honor the warranty on my car. It will also be my last Nissan, also.

 

Sounds like someone is a little grumpy

 

Be CAREFUL where you get your S-Tune suspension! If you get a Gray Market S-Tune it will NOT be covered under warranty.

NISSAN & Nissan Motor Sports are getting very strict on the gray market parts coming into the states. In order to even order a S-Tune suspension a VIN Number must be supplied and it is recorded that that specific VIN has a S-Tune suspension. If you go into a Nissan dealer for ANY SUSPENSION RELATED PROBLEM you WILL NOT be covered by Nissan's Warranty with the S-Tune suspension unless it was attached to your VIN.

In this case, S-Tune does not mean warranted by Nissan.

 

you obviously are not talking to us. We sell the NISMO S-Tune Suspension for $1400.00

 

Thanks for the headsup Jason.

 

Who knows? Autoweek just reported Nissan will be making "running changes" to the suspension sometime in the 2004 production, no dates are given. Your roads may not bring out the "bounce" like it does for most of us.
