the valving on all 4 shocks is actually valved stiffer than previous years, as are spring rates - at least on US spec cars. How many miles on the car? Start with the simple things - tire pressure and alignment, and go from there We have had a couple of customers experiencing the same thing. Seems to take a while for the tyres and shocks to bed in, has got better with miles on the car. can't confirm for definite but the rear shocks seam to be a softer rate than previous cars.

awesome! would love to see some vids in action!!

its been awhile guys, so just some quick updates The other night I installed the gauge cluster (speedometer, tach, etc) from a 2008 model. Since my current redline is 8400 and the 03-06 tachs only go to 8000...you can see I had a problem lol. The 07 + cars read to 9000 rpm though, so all is right with the world. We're also working on a 2 new things in house that hopefully will prove worthwhile to those looking for all out NA setups. I don't want to give up any details till we have it all finalized and tuned with backup data, but suffice it to say if they work, it will be awesome!

tis I ) it was January 2006 when that was taken..about 20 degrees out, I only break out the tommy bahamas and sandals/black socks after labor day....anything less is a major fashion faux pas

your best bet is honestly leaving it stock..or picking up and 06 airbox intakes do nada on these cars except add noise and/or look pretty

same as any other car really...all depends how you drive anything short of around 60k miles, and it's time to take a driving school

as fitted to my car since winter 2005 Perfect fit, no fading, no bubbling, etc

ah sorry I didn't realize it was an existing GB!!! The way it was written I thought they were soliciting for offers...my mistake!

can do 5 of them for $149 delivered each (to one address) = $745 shipped for the group of 5

low fluid means low pads...unless you have a leak someplace (not good!), get this looked at asap

The car comes std with eccentric bolts for rear camber and toe - nothing revolutionary here. The problem is, they only allow a very minimal amount of adjustment. Cars are like fingerprints..no 2 are the same. So, when the car comes from Nissan, there is a range of alignments it can have when new, that is still in the acceptable range. If the car starts off with a very nominal setting, and is then lowered, its possible to get the rear back in spec without parts. Some cars though, with even small amounts of lowering, are completely out of spec right off the bat, and will require the addition of a rear camber/toe kit. Only way to tell is a before/after on the alignment rack. For the front, only toe is adjustable (via tie rod ends) - there is no front camber adjustment.

a 30mm spacer vs how it looks now? Hope you're fitting wider front fenders too

pm'd you Chris

on these cars as you lower them you induce negative camber and toe in. The car calls for a fair bit of camber stock, but toe is what KILLS tires. As you lower the car and fit wider wheels, bigger tires, lower offsets, any issues become even more exaggerated. The car does offer a tiny bit of adjustment from the factory. The rear is fitted with eccentric bolts for the camber and toe arms, which give you around .25-.5 degrees of movement...not a ton, but on some cars it may be enough to put it back to spec. The front does not have any camber adjustment, only toe (via tie rod ends). To adjust front camber requires an aftermarket front a arm (I use the Cusco on my car, and they are amazing pieces, and zero issues in all the years we've carried them, unlike other brands). For the rear, the standard in the industry is the SPC kit. It features a threaded arm for camber, and a new eccentric bolt for toe that has a much wider sweep than the factory bolt does. Cusco A Arms: SPC Rear Camber/Toe Kit: Cusco also recently introduced their own camber/toe arms for the rear. I've had the prototype versions on my car for ages now, though the production pieces are a bit different (pillowballs at either end, and lighter) pics of the Cusco rear pieces installed: and always in stock if anyone needs

Call me a priss, but there is no way I am camping anywhere (I don't like roughing it lolol - I need my room service and tv ), and there is ABSOLUTELY no way I will go in another helicopter (one was enough!)

245/35 front, 275/35 rear 245/285 is a bit too much stagger front to back

quick question - how far is Silverstone from London? Esp. Heathrow? I need to start booking things if this is going to happen

the uprated axle wont help you....its simply the stock bolt that gets retorqued to a tighter spec that solves it we can offer uprated axles if you cant find any in the UK - we have lots of customers making 600 + whp with them

3.9's are sold out at present - more in about 3.5 weeks or so (waiting on central 20 shipment to arrive to us with all sorts of stuff!) we do hvae the 4.08 in stock, which is particularly well suited to 2006 and up cars with their increased rev limiter, or to pre 2006 cars with reflashed ecu for increased rev limiter

The lack of the bracket is not the issue to be honest. There are several aftermarket cats out there without a bracket that have never caused any such problems. In fact the bracket if not properly executed can cause its own set of failures! The Kintetix ones, for whatever reason, have caused numerous Y pipe failures, so have Crawford. I can't say why, it just seems to be how things end up unfortunately

unfortunately the problem is not the Y pipe persay...its the Kinetix cats. I can't even tell you how many people here in the US have had a failure with that exact setup. Seems only a few cats/test pipes work out well in the long term with aftermarket Y pipes

I am Crocket reincarnate

but do you have nav? The 03/04 ones with Nav retract "into" the dash one thing I've wondered though after looking at our other Z (03 with Nav) - the color seems different than on my car (04 no nav) -mine seems more matte black whereas the other one we have is a bit glossier

correct says the man with the fruity colored car

lolololololol I have NEVER owned a Hawain shirt, nor jean shorts, nor do I wear my baseball hat tilted to the side...I zig where others zag !
