Yeah, no problem if I do decide I need to change it I'll drop you a PM. Saves me the hassle of posting it for sale and getting flooded with low ballers wanting it for next to nothing

Thanks for the recommendation. Alunox are another place I'd be keen to speak to. Done some mazing work for some of my mates. Not cheap though. One plus about going custom would be to V band everything!!

Thanks man! Really glad I took the plunge with them... plus having 2 great wheel options is great. Yep sits super low, but looks amazing. I've been getting away with it up until now but I don't want to push my luck with it. Running smaller wheels then lowering even more probably isn't going to work term

Yeah I just about get away with it at the minute but any lower and I think I'd run into issues. Custom will definitely be on the table if I do have to change. I also really like the HKS Hi-power system - no that many people seem to run them in the UK that I've seen though

Ok, great! If I do end up going down that route I'll get in touch. Wouldn't be interested in short tails though I'm afraid but you could always sell them on to someone quiet easily I'd imagine.

hit the nail on the head there

After a quick coat of C5 to try and keep molten brake dust at bay the wheels are on! Really happy with how its turned out... proper beefy track orientated setup. One thing I have decided is that the 2.4 deg of camber I'm running at the front isn't enough - never has been really (still get outside shoulder wear on track) but the kinetix camber arms I'm running now are maxed out so I have ordered some replacement in the form of some hardrace ones - should give me more adjustment than I'll ever need. The kinetix arms have been spot on and will be up for grabs soon once I've swapped them out and cleaned them up. Another thing I'm pondering is a further drop in ride height (it will actually sit a little lower, especially the rear, than the pictures show once the suspension settles - I'd only just dropped it back on the floor at this point). But if I was to do this I'd likely need to swap out my ark grip V2 for something with a little more ground clearance. I absolutely love the Ark so really don't want to but I've got a decision to make and somethings got to give. Any input on this would be helpful as I'm on the fence at the minute. Or if anyone fancies a swap with anther high quality exhaust system let me know what you've got? (No short tails)

I fancy one of these... the discolouration of the plastic tank is an eye sore fire me a PM over with the payment details please 😁

So clean! Looking really good pal. Very jealous of the Nismo goodies

Tyres got fitted yesterday. As you can see, big beef setup. Should be very purposeful when I get them fitted this weekend!

285/35R18 the reason I've chosen to go to an 18" setup is firstly to I can have a true square setup and secondly the range, availability and price of semi slicks in 18" vs 19" is on another level! These wheels will eventually pay for themselves in about 4 sets of tyres time. The square setup gives me much more tyre up front for front end grip & turn in as well as reduced shoulder wear (which is an issue due to the weight of the car) as well as me being able to rotate wheels to maximise tyre life across the whole tyre. So its more of a function over form thing for me but a wheel with a big beefy track tyre looks far meaner! Some people before 20s will rubber bands for tyres, its more about what you cars purpose is. Cheers mate. Can't to see what they look like fitted this weekend! Keeping the stock wheels. Later on in the year when I can afford I get some good road tyres fitted to them so I've basically got a wet option. Best of both worlds! Yeah I can't sell the stock wheels... I'd never get them back!

The came before christmas...

AEM 0-150psi oil pressure gauge ready to be fitted at some point as well. Just need to decided where and how to mount it

New wheels are due to arrive today... ready to be wrapped in these - Zestino Gredge 07RS Soft Compound (TW140) Semi Slick Tyre https://www.tegiwaimports.com/zestino-gredge-07rs-soft-compound-tw140-semi-slick-tyre.html 140 treadware so pretty soft so should be nice and sticky!

goods great pal... the LMGT4's are perfect 👌

yeah I've always gone 85ftlbs

Looks like I closed the window prematurely... was still in the basket when I went back on the site. All sorted now hopefully

Just order from your website... I should have done this ages ago!!

Yes exactly that... think wheel spacer without actually using a wheel spacer Have a fiddle with this, all will become clear

I had an issue with my berk HFC's. The catalyst inside them came loose and I had to replace them after about 2.5 years albeit with heavy use but still very disappointed as they're meant to be a quality items, maybe I was just unlucky. Not exactly the same issue but it did cause a multiple cylinder misfire code. Would definitely expect a set to last longer then yours have. Try clearing the code to see if it comes back. Only way to see if they have had it is to remove them and take a long in them and give them a bit of a shake. Also worth checking the gaskets on the manifold end aren't blowing

Can't say I've ever heard of them but the offsets will work - slightly more aggressive than stock but nothing too crazy

Haha... he looked at me like I had two heads when I was telling him about it as it is, not sure he'd have taken it very well if I told him the solution was to open the fuel tank up. To be fair this was before I fitted the extra fuel pump so my solution was to brim the tank every 2 sessions.

Thanks, much appreciated! I wish I'd started mine sooner to be honest, by the time I got the ball rolling I'd already done a fair bit. Initially I was unsure if people would be interested as like you say a 370z on a track day is pretty rare and a Nismo even rarer - that said I do know I'm not the only one in the UK who has tracked a Nismo but potentially the only one who does regular track days and has b*stardised the car to suit (that I know of anyway). There are a few 370Z gt's I've seen on instagram that get regular UK track action though. Only ever seen one other 370z on a day I've attended... bit of a funny story really. Was some bloke who didn't really know what he was getting himself in to. He came over to me after a couple of sessions complaining of engine issues, turns out he was suffering from fuel starve. When I asked him how much fuel was in it he told me he chucked £20 in it first thing in the morning and thought that would do it 🤣 - I managed to keep a straight face because after all everyone has to start somewhere. My advise was top the tank off and it will be fine but he just went home.

Couldn't agree more

In other news... order some wheels yesterday! Very excited. Should arrive from Japan Decemeber/early January. Anyone care to take any guesses? 😉 And before anyone asks, the mk1 Nismo rays are not for sale. Holy grail items I'm not willing to part with.
