Looks great!

Hi Martin,

I think I mentioned it before, but I am no longer able to attend this as managed to get Glastonbury tickets which unfortunately is a direct clash

Hope all going have a great time!

Jak

Looks great, really like the front bumper

Hi guys,

thanks for the replies, these spacers do not have the inset nuts - they are the ones where you get longer studs to replace the ones already in your hubs... So a bit of a pain to fit but in my opinion a better option... so i wont have the problem that Jetset highlighted, though thanks for the heads up

Normally I would just buy the 10mm, and still might - i just thought thisway would be more cost effective....

Anymore thoughts welcome

Right - I have decided I would like to tuck my wheels in at the front, and sooner rather than later as they are a little proud at the moment with my Eibach 20mm Pro's on there.

I have decided to go for a 10mm Hubcentric instead, same system as my 20mm's - the replacement stud type (System 6 i think...) which costs roughly £100....

It just occured to me however that I do actually know a pretty competant metal worker (has worked for Force India, amoungst other companies...) Could he lathe/mill/whatever my existing 20mmspacer down to 10mm? would that be possible/ Safe/ not a total bodge? Or am I being an idiot for even thinking of this??

Before the flaming commences, it should be noted I have literally just had this thought come up in my head and posted it - i havnt looked into it in the slightest!!

Just go for a different colour on each, go way out and get the highlighter range

Looks excellent sir, nice one!

Thanks mate

Very nice Jak

 

You have done a cracking job with the car... wheels finish it off perfectly

Thanks Tarmac,

It has certainly changed since I got my hands on it!

looks though! (the Z that is....)

I think the stance is awesome on that mate! It looks very similar to the rb26dett 350z in the vid on YouTube.

 

Absolutely love it!!!

Your car looks great... im loving this picture...

 

 

Oh and, they are very nice Jak

Jak, they look superb fitted, we definitely went with the right colour for your Zed...

 

Thanks for your custom as always, its very much appreciated…

Thanks for all the comments

nice rotas,

 

my only concern is that in a few pictures it looks like the wheels stick out beyond the wheel arches, just becareful as plod wont like it and it could be an MOT fail.

Thanks rt,

The pics do make it look a bit that way with the fronts, however at the top of the arch the tread is covered... not by a lot but it is - again, this is another reason behind tucking the fronts in a bit

Those fronts are wide.

 

Expect gravel rash up the side.

Yeah I know... I had thought of that, thats why I shall be looking to tuck them in a bit more in the not too distant future

Looking very nice mate, they work well. Still trying to hook you up on the reg btw.

Cheers Martin, as you can see I have had to change the spacing on the reg, got a little telling off on a routine check

Nice

 

They are what I'm going for on the GTR (albeit the Volks not Rotas )

Haha, thanks, I would have gone for Volks if I could have, these will have to do till the lottery win!

Jak

Looks great!

As a few will have realised from my recent thread advertising my Rays for sale I have finally been able to get a new set of wheels

I had been in contact with CS way before I had the Rays for sale asking countless questions.... I mean honestly the guy is a saint for putting up with me! I really cannot stress enough how helpful the service CS offered was - it really was top draw all the way and would recommend without hesitation

Annyyyway I finally made a decision and placed an order.. nearly 2 months after initial talks!! CS once again provided an excellent service and managed to get the wheels to me within 2 days of them being ordered, which was brilliant.... until, and by no fault of his I might add, the wrong front wheels turned up!! It turned out that this was the result of a bit of a **** up beyond CS's control and the actual wheels I had ordered did not actually exist within the country! ....... Needless to say I was a little disappointed as I had been looking forward to getting the wheels fitted to the car, and as this was during the week of the first set of bank holidays we had it meant another barrier was put in the way of getting the problem sorted quickly...

To cut a long story short, rather than getting the original choice shipped in (Which would have probably taken a fair while!) I made the decision to go for a pair of wheels identical to the rears... which I know some will disagree with but its been done so many times across the pond with no issues and the stagger, although small at the moment, remains in the tyres.... Once this decision was made CS wasted no time at all in getting this sorted and managed to get the original (wrong) fronts returned and the New pair delivered by the following Thursday - That's right, 2 bank holidays beaten by what I can only describe as unbeatable customer service

In short I am really pleased with the outcome, the service and communication given, and cannot recommend CS enough to anybody looking to treat their Z to a few goodies - CS really did do everything possible to resolve the situation and even took a bit of a hit to make sure I didn't incur more cost than necessary through the miss-hap, I really couldn't have asked for more.

On to the pics:

Few standard driveway-shots

And a few (a fair few ) from other locations:

That's all folks!

Wheels spec's are 18x10 (265/35/18) et30 with 20mm Eibach Spacer Front & 18x10 (275/45/18) Rear et30 with 20mm Eibach Spacer.

Rears rub a little at the moment, so will be getting the arches rolled asap, them maybe add a 5mm shim to the back if it allows... have already tried this but is rubbed....ALOT! Looked cool though...

20mm Eibach + 5mm Shim Rear: (Please excuse unwashed dutty state of the Z in this one )

May also see about bringing the front in 5mm.... but all in due time as it isnt causing any issue as it is

Hope you like,

and once again THANK YOU CS!!

TVR?...........Chimera?

Caterham or some kind of kit car

Ha great minds Chris! look at the post times!

Caterham of some sort?

Doh! Sorry Jak...

Ha! no worries - wanted an excuse to use that anyway

Cant remember who posted it first time round - it is funny though

Well, my one - which is an "official" nismo front lip ( ) I'm pretty sure started life in Canada! Got a feeling they were a US/Candian Market product... so gonna be pretty hard to source an original I think...

 

 

This is the ebay one i mentioned..

The ad says 03-07 cars but I'm not sure how that would fit a facelift car with the indent?

Hmmm that is a bit odd! Buyer beware!
