Ah crap! I don't want to go down that route!

Cool. I don't like overhang at all so may try the 20mm first. Guys in America are running 15mm on the front. How are they managing that?? I think 15 front and 20mm back would be ideal to make it flush. Think 25 front will be a lot since the rear looks more recessed as stock than the front

Hey Anyone use their car in the winter? How is it? I've come from only driving fwd cars and usually I get winter tyres on. Th 370z will probably become a daily driver and I'm thinking nows the best time to get winter tyres. So do you use your car in winter and what tyres do you use? Thanks
-
What was the outcome from this? I have uni royal on the front and budgets (brand new) on the back. Trv action control light kicks in under acceleration so was thinking of replacing the rears with MPSS but don't want to do the fronts too since it's a lot of money

I'm looking to get an amuse kit on the car but I haven't even seen one in the flesh. Does anyone near Glasgow have an as muse kit on their 370z that I can have a look at please? Thanks

i didnt realise the powertrain warranty is for 5 years! does it cover gearbox and clutch or just the actual engine?
-
Any video of the car outside? Like having the phone facing the exhaust and giving some revs? Trying to see what this exhaust would compare to
-
Can someone please explain if camber bolts will do the job? They seem to be £50 and allow 3 degrees of adjustment. Had anyone gone down this path?
-
Scotty, how did you manage 20mm spacers on? I thought the rays wheels don't have enough recess to let the stock studs sit in? So I thought people all have to get 25mm? Please let me know how it worked for you since I don't like overhanging wheels so think 20mm would be ideal if they will fit. Thanks

Who has needed camber adjustment kits after lowering and spacing?
gstraw replied to gstraw's topic in 370z General
Hmm. Does anyone know what the standard bolts can give in terms of max alignment? These eibach bolts give an alignment of +- 3 degrees. So if the stock allow 2 degrees, these are an extra 1 degrees so may be enough to bring back into spec. -
Hey I've been camping once or twice before with cadets when I was a kid. I want to take the mrs camping this summer in Scotland since she hasn't done it before. Does anyone know where I can hire camping gear at a decent price? I'm based in Glasgow. I'm looking for a tent, bag, stove and maybe sleeping bags. Or should I buy this stuff? Not sure I will go again. More of a one off I think. Cheers

gstraw replied to gstraw's topic in 370z General
Thanks for the replies. It's starting to make sense! I'm gonna be lowering on eibach lowering springs (eibach pro kit) http://cougarstore.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2_19&products_id=59 This is 25mm front and 20mm rear. I'm interested to hear from people who have this setup. I'm not sure how much is 'lowered a lot' Thanks -

gstraw replied to gstraw's topic in 370z General
Yiykes. Okay. I hear people say they can't get the camber back into spec but toe seems okay. So I assume I may only need the camber kit then since there should be plenty of adjustment on the toe? Also what about the front? Will that be off and will I need a kit for front and back? This product seem to adjust camber with just bolts and also toe. +- 3 degrees so why would anyone get the arm if the bolts can do the same/ provide more adjustment? http://www.funkypower.co.uk/catalogue.php?make=NISSAN&model=370Z&year=2009%2B&level1=SUSPENSION+%26+STABILITY&level2=CAMBER+CORRECTION+KITS&level3=&id_product=5996 -
Hey Apologies for not posting in the suspension forum but I thought in the general discussion it will get more exposure. So a lot of people have lowered and spaced their cars (mostly using eibach springs and spacers) Now I'm interested to know how many of you have had to get camber kits or did people not bother getting their camber within spec? I'm planning on getting the car lowered and spacer in 25mm spacers. I want to get the camber within spec. Has anyone lowered their car and managed to get the camber within spec? Also I noticed there are many kits available such as just the bolts or what looks like an arm. What ones have people installed? If I can just get the bolts and get back within spec then great. Many thanks and pictures of the geometry will be much appreciated. Thanks

CS-I can't see the 370 kits on your website? -

gstraw replied to marconorth's topic in Suspension
Yeah. Camber kits seem to vary a lot in price! Not sure if I should get a cheaper brand on than eibach. I may have to make another thread! -
Hmm sounds good! How much is a remap btw? May be something I consider after I've done my exhaust. Also can it be done remotely? How long does it take? Thanks

I know. Lol I'm just going around reviving old threads! Most have not been concluded! -

Any update on this? Did you get your camber back into limits? I'm looking to get eibach springs and 25mm spacers since I've heard 20mm don't quite fit with the GT wheels? My insurance doesn't allow any changes to camber so I want to be able to have it at stock again. Also is if just lowering that throws the camber off or do spacers do it too? -
I would rather pay the £21 extra and get from a local place here. They have the springs for £200.

Found macklins to not be very helpful at all. Gutted you ain't got it back it. I'm sure a non high performance centre could have installed it faster. Remember they said it's just a 2.5 hour job but the reason they take so long is for nissan to agree to the change out. If they have had the gearbox in for 10 days it should have been done now! I would write the letter and state your losses due to them

Took the car into infinity Glasgow and they said discs need replaced. Gonna book in next week for disks and pads then hopefully car will be running sweet
-
Mtec have a good price for disks and mintex pads for £182 all in. Pretty good price. Anyone used them?
-
I'll take one for the 370 too
-
Hey Yup it's a 370z I have but we get a preferential rate from infinity in Glasgow. I've seen stop tech but the disks are £300 and I've seen some crazy prices for ferrodo pads. Aftermarket seems to be more expensive I'm finding. Also I think I may prefer solid disks since I can't find any place that will skim drilled or grooved disks. For future incase I need to get them skimmed.
