Jay-350z Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Thought I would start one of these as I have a few things in the pipe line. So far, other than just clean up what was already there I've made a solid start on the engine bay. Some pictures: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMballistic Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Spacers look great. Should have left the Nissan factory like that in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daveyboy11 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 This is the direction I'm going in with mine with the exterior, I like a lot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay-350z Posted March 8, 2014 Author Share Posted March 8, 2014 Thanks guys, but this isn't how it's staying, haha. It going in for a full front end respray, once funds allow. As there's a little rust on the bonnet and wing, and the laquer peal you can see in that pic. So once it's looking fresh, time for some fun modding. .

GMballistic Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 One thing I meant to ask you Jay-350z was have you had any wheel alignment done on the Zed after fitting the spacers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay-350z Posted March 9, 2014 Author Share Posted March 9, 2014 One thing I meant to ask you Jay-350z was have you had any wheel alignment done on the Zed after fitting the spacers? No I havnt, but all seems good apart from the fairly extreme rear camber, as that's quite visible, but I'll need camber arms to sort it out.

I'm considering spacers myself but just trying to research the pros & cons. Is the rear camber issue because your Zed is lowered then or is it still riding on standard springs?.

Ok, the pros are it looks 100x better with them, I've found turning in feels a tad better. The cons are the car seams to tram line a bit more, also it bump steers a bit more too, but this isn't that noticeable. And the reason for the camber is because it's lowered I'm guessing.

GMballistic Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Thanks again Jay. Now also looking at the possibility of bigger alloys to get the look I'm after. Ahh the joys of Zeditus and nothing to do on a sunny weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daveyboy11 Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 I think it's recommended that you get wheel alignment after fitting spacers, I get a little wobble at about 70-80mph that I didn't have before fitting spacers. I'm going to get alignment done to see if that cures it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to get alignment done to see if that cures it! It won't fix it, that's a wheel balance issue, nothing to do with alignment. Did you wire brush the hub before fitting the spacers?
