buster Posted July 22, 2012 Posted July 22, 2012 breaks my heart to see the LMGT4's painted black.....such a nice wheel...i see were your going but i too like the bm wheels you had fitted.dont get me wrong the LMGT4's will look great on the zed. Quote
TomS Posted July 22, 2012 Author Posted July 22, 2012 I was tempted to get the keep the lip as standard on the wheels and the rest black but there's nothing glossy on the car so wouldn't really fit in with the overall look. Will rolled arches what's a good sized spacer for LMGT4s? Will 20F/25R cause any issues being lowered on Teins? Quote
TomS Posted July 22, 2012 Author Posted July 22, 2012 245/35 @ 8.5J ET25 275/35 @ 9.5J ET30 The rears are pretty much shot so I might buy a new pair of 275's or 285's. Quote
roadtrip Posted July 22, 2012 Posted July 22, 2012 I believe octet has the same wheels and had issues with spacers but then I don't think he had rolled arches, check out this thread: http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=61&t=53829 Quote
Stew Posted July 22, 2012 Posted July 22, 2012 Stanzed has spaced LMGT4s. Arches done, think there are no issues. Quote
glrnet Posted July 22, 2012 Posted July 22, 2012 looking forward to seeing new pix I loved the E65 wheels but I was never keen on the stretched tyres and being Plastidipped they were never going to look as good as painted. They shall be missed but when I get the car back this week everything should look awesome Quote
TomS Posted July 22, 2012 Author Posted July 22, 2012 Looks like I'll keep the pair of 20mm spacers I've got and see if they cause any rubbing on the front and rear, if everythings fine I'll grab another set. Typical as I've just sold a pair of 20mm spacers as I thought I didn't need them anymore Quote
TomS Posted July 25, 2012 Author Posted July 25, 2012 Finally got the car back, I'm too giddy to take more photos but I'm downing tools to go and wash her Need to get spacers on next, swallowing the LMGT4's up! Quote
tprice Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 lucky you got time to wash it during a weekday nice kit! Quote
TomS Posted July 25, 2012 Author Posted July 25, 2012 Cleaned but not waxed/polished as I need to get back to work Here's a nice before and after of how the car looked back in April 2011. Quote
TomS Posted July 26, 2012 Author Posted July 26, 2012 Got my new numberplate today, swift delivery from Craigsplates.com Quote
coldel Posted July 26, 2012 Posted July 26, 2012 Like to see someone else being a bit different Quote
Seany boy Posted July 26, 2012 Posted July 26, 2012 Looking good pal , front end looks so angry ! Should look 100x better with some spacers tho Quote
350GP Posted July 26, 2012 Posted July 26, 2012 Black wheels on a GM grey does look good! I just bought a GM grey so im scouting for ideas, just got my Rays in black at the mo. Car looks pretty racey with the black and grey theme, I like it; but I must say im not a fan of the spoiler in matte black. Try photoshopping it in GM grey, or as someone else said do the sides in GM and the fin in black? Quote
TomS Posted July 27, 2012 Author Posted July 27, 2012 20mm rear spacers added, looks so much better now. Need to decide whether to go for 20mm or 15mm on the front. The skirts are really low, couldn't get the scissor jack underneath as when I opened it out it hit the skirt before the sill, back to using blocks of wood! Quote
buster Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 245/35 @ 8.5J ET25275/35 @ 9.5J ET30 quote] if these were the standard off sets i d say go for 20mm all round.....you now have et 10 rear so et5 front would work nicely. i run an et15 on the rear and thats a 10.5 j and et2 on the front 8.5j i have whats called poke Quote
TomS Posted July 29, 2012 Author Posted July 29, 2012 Second set of spacers are on their way. Put 380RS pedal on yesterday as well which will be good to see if it makes much of a difference. Also noticed that the rear diffuser is touching the backbox, how hot does the backbox get? It's make it vibrate slightly so wondering is there's anything padded I can put between that wouldn't melt or if I need to adjust the exhaust/diffuser part of the bumper. Quote
350GP Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 The tailpipes will get quite warm, might be worth having them adjusted slightly before they start to melt your diffuser! Quote
TomS Posted August 5, 2012 Author Posted August 5, 2012 20mm spacers on the front and back now. Thinking I might go for 25mm on the rear or 15mm front s the fronts are currently out wider than the rears, only slightly though. Wrapped my centre console in satin black yesterday/today and it was going great until I got to the dials and now it looks like poop. Quote
S1 HNK Posted August 5, 2012 Posted August 5, 2012 Can't argue with the amount of effort here! Think I preferred it on page 1 Quote
TomS Posted September 19, 2012 Author Posted September 19, 2012 Feels very strange not modding the car any more, I've done everything I wanted to do and now all I can think about is getting something new Washing/waxing and polishing just isn't the same when your heart's not in it! Will be keeping it looking and running mint until it comes to sell but all I can think about is GTR! Anyone else ever have phases of falling in/out of love with their motor? Quote

Yes, I often look at cars price up mods and get all excited but TBH when the sun is out and I take the Z out for a drive I just love it again. Quote
