Anyone brought Z Speed Performance Aluminum Undershroud
 
just wondering what people thought about this. is it any good? is it worth it?

daisuke149 12-12-2010 11:15 PM

I am planning to. In person its realllly nice. has a nice lil way to get to the oil filter. Its also really lightweight.

Mike 12-13-2010 07:20 AM

hmm, I need a new one any way, maybe I will get this one.

cconrado 12-13-2010 09:02 AM

Chuck@Z1 12-13-2010 11:19 AM

Do you guys have the piece done for the Nismo front bumper conversions?

Mike 12-13-2010 05:30 PM

Jamaica 12-13-2010 05:39 PM

I had a minor off at a track about a year ago and it cracked across the length of it. I patched it up with duct tape, but apparently I think I scrape on a speed hump at work because it was missing the entire middle when I was under the car a couple weeks ago, and I don't really know where it went.

cconrado 12-13-2010 06:29 PM

so its actually good then? is there enough room to do all the oil change work?

That is a good question. Will this work for the NISMO Z guys as well?

I'll find out soon. Its only 100 more than a stock one, so its worth a shot for me.

M.Bonanni 12-13-2010 07:09 PM

Whats the clearance compared to stock? I had to cut my factory one around the oil pan since I have a 1" oil pan spacer on the car.

Ron 12-15-2010 06:39 PM

I would also like to know if it fits the Nismo

cconrado 12-19-2010 10:18 PM

So any reviews?

Daishi 12-23-2010 06:20 AM

I have the hotchkis sway bars and it rubs on the stock under tray will I have that problem with this? And are there any forum discouts on it?

gh0st3794 12-23-2010 10:20 AM

I think I've found my next mod. Only because it makes oil changes a lot less of a hassle lol.

puckshaw 12-23-2010 10:51 AM

You can just open a flap on the factory undertray to change the oil. It's like 4 bolts I believe.

Theres no flap if you take 4 bolts off the oil will just run all over the undertray.

Chuck@Z1 12-23-2010 09:12 PM

I do not have the answers to all of the questions because we haven't tried these on a lot of different cars yet.
Howere, we are going to get a group buy going if anyone is interested in testing it out at a good deal.
Stay tuned.

:iagree:I needed to tie off the flap so it didn't interfere with the oil filter change or the draining of the oil. No need to drop the entire undertray.

Um no. I've done this several times already. Just unbolt the flap and swing it out of the way. I use a spare jack stand to pin it up so that it's not in the way.

Chuck@Z1 12-24-2010 10:03 AM

Group buy LINK.

Truth. If you're buying this for the oil change access you may want to slide under your car sometime.

But it only looks cool until you install it - then you can't see it! Lightweight? So is the plastic oem undertray. It's your money so do as you as please. Imo, no benefit whatsoever.

Ive dont many oil changes myself on my car, In fact all the mods I have listed I installed myself, I do have access to a lift where I work, I know what you guys are talking about take 4 bolts off and bend the under tray back. I didnt want to bend the under tray too much so I just havent tried it.

There is good news and bad news about that. The hotchkis does make contact with the aluminum undershroud, but it only does it so many times, after which it has pretty much beaten it into the required shape to avoid rub!
