DannyGT's Journal/Progress

Yup it's a combination of things...

1. Overall diameter on the fronts ended up being ~12mm taller
2. More camber in the rear
3. Felt as if the suspension settled a bit lower when all said and done

I will be getting corner balanced on Tuesday so everything should be evened out. I'll take more pics including exact weight at each corner. Full camber settings, and the overall exact weight of the car. I'll scan the sheet and post it here.

already moddin !

yousa crazy mofo....

M.Bonanni · 05-15-2009, 01:14 PM

Car looks awesome! Loving those AMEs.

Unicorn_blood · 05-16-2009, 03:41 PM

Super clean... I'm trying to decide which is better setup (considering all the mods) for the same amount of money. This or the Nismo!?!

DannyGT · 05-17-2009, 08:50 PM

Some additional shots!

This is after the custom X pipe and tips installed on the Stillen exhaust...I eliminated any sort of rubbing/hitting isues once and for all! I havent felt an ounce of difference on my butt dyno! I'll be hitting the dyno this coming weekend so we'll see...

I like it - ESPECIALLY - form the side profile...
The problem with the round with no angle is the side profile. I never minded the rear shots of the Stillen tips but the from the side they looked way to big + all the adjustments that were made just to get it to look even and flush all led to this!

Look great Danny! Where did the tips come from?

I wonder if anyone will get tips that are oval instead of round as seen from the back, to fill in the bumper cutout more. Perhaps they already exist?

DannyGT · 05-18-2009, 07:56 AM

That was my original plan 4.5" oval slant cut burnt tips. But I would have had to wait a week to get them and with oil cooler and intakes being installed this is what was available so I decided to do it. I like it! The back is a more subtle look and then anything from quarter/side angle just looks amazing.

These are 4.25 magnaflow tips.

semtex · 05-18-2009, 08:57 AM

The tips look awesome, dude!

RCZ · 05-18-2009, 12:40 PM

fantastic.

dat370zguy · 05-19-2009, 03:22 AM

Wow man looking good, one question though is the front higher than the rear? It kinda seems like it in the picks.

NA&CH · 05-19-2009, 09:50 AM

Damn Danny,

Car looks sick. Perfect stance and the rims are awesome. Very Nice.

not really it's just the front has a slightly thicker profile. Also the car hasn't been corner balanced yet and I wanted them to work with the setup I have now. They'll make sure everything is even!

par4bmw · 05-19-2009, 12:09 PM

Looks awesome. Finally some slanted tips.

Best looking Z so far IMHO.

Unicorn_blood · 05-20-2009, 01:38 PM

DannyGT: I was wondering what front and rear arms are you going for? SPL all the way?

DannyGT · 05-20-2009, 08:11 PM

When I do it, yes it'll probably be SPL all around unless companies like cusco/whiteline start coming out with stuff...

Shouldnt have an issue with SPL tho.
