RisingPower Posted October 30, 2010 Author Share Posted October 30, 2010 From that link i still think it does not look finished without a set of skirts. Hmm, I may consider skirts at some point in the future, but I still think they'd only end up being a nightmare around here. I don't think the Nismo skirts on mine are any lower than oem just come out further.My Varis lip clears the 2 speed bumps onto our estate with no probs and my car is lowered. If they're not lower I may consider them. I know the amuse sides which were the ones I was looking at certainly looked lower. Last time I checked there was literally maybe 0.5-1cm clearance max with the current skirts. If anyone has any before/after pics of the nismo side skirts.....

clarkie34 Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 They may look lower but you would be surprised,think the lip on my bumper is 10mm lower than a standard bumper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RisingPower Posted October 30, 2010 Author Share Posted October 30, 2010 See here, it doesn't look any lower: But here it does, using the oem side skirts part in the centre as a basis for guesstimating: Shame the amuse ones are definitely lower: I can have a look tomorrow to see whether I have any more clearance with the volks, should do.

clarkie34 Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 That top pic has the US Nismo skirts with bigger bulges. Before After Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RisingPower Posted October 30, 2010 Author Share Posted October 30, 2010 That top pic has the US Nismo skirts with bigger bulges. Before After Hrmmf, maybe it just isn't any lower... In which case.... I'd be copying you (not that this is a bad thing) See, ryanmac on my350z had carbon v2 side skirts, almost toying with that and the nismo v2 front w/carbon..... Thanks for that though, that pretty clearly shows they are the same height Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkie34 Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Yeah the carbon v2 skirts would look good teamed with the bumper with the carbon lip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarnie Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Your mistaken if you think the zed is going to be easier to drive in the snow than the M3................. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RisingPower Posted October 30, 2010 Author Share Posted October 30, 2010 Your mistaken if you think the zed is going to be easier to drive in the snow than the M3................. It will probably be just as bad, but at least it has some weight over the rear axle. I honestly don't think the Z will be any worse in the winter than an M3 with a broken RTAB in very heavy rain.

I've had both, spun the zed once and got stuck in Malvern in the snow. The M3 wasn't great in the snow but the zed was near impossible..............

clarkie34 Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Too be honest the zed is a nightmare in snow,if I can help it,it will be staying on the drive when the white stuff arrives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The M3 wasn't great in the snow but the zed was near impossible.............. Hmm... I still find it difficult to see how massively different it'll be in the snow, but I haven't seen it in the snow yet. TBH I found the M3 was perfectly fine in the snow aside from trying to get it up a very steep slope in a parking area which had quite a deep covering of snow. If I could get the M3 up a reasonable hill and park in the snow, is it really going to be much more difficult in the Z? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BulletMagnet Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Honestly, on my way home last year, I pulled into a service station for a toilet break. Car park was covered in snow and I had a hard time getting out. Thank god for some friendly lorry drivers that offered to sit in my open rear hatch so I had traction. I also had my boot filled with bags and stuff, so in real terms, the Zed doesn't have enough weight over the rear axle when it's faced with snow sadly.

To be fair, I live at near the bottom of a hill, if it can't make it up that, I won't be going any further, or trying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
