What a relief! My car rode like CRAP, very disappointed until I read this POST - GUILTY. Much better with the shipping limiters removed.

Just for future references:
How many of these spacers is the car supposed to have in all?

I found one they missed on my 2011.

4FUNZ · 04-18-2011, 02:21 PM

My 2011 NISMO had one on each side; they were on the inside of the spring, easy to spot.

bripolar66 · 05-17-2011, 07:49 PM

just so u know, a lot of techs dont even know about the wheel spacers. we hardly ever see nismos in the shop because not many around and they are great cars. i didnt know about the wheel spacers till i saw them on my nismo last week when i got it. i threw it up on the lift to check out the shiny exhaust and such, change the oil only because it was delivered to the dealership we got it from in december, and im anal. i asked some of the other techs and some kn ew and some didnt. nobody bothered to inform us. kinda shitty i know but there are alot of different models to know about not just the 370's. on behalf of nissan service technicians were sorry if u found yourself pulling out wheel spacers in your garage and hurting the hell out of your forearm. its easier with a jack or lift

Zappypants · 05-22-2011, 06:15 PM

Yep, have them on mine. Thanks for the info!

Cuban Z · 05-25-2011, 02:30 AM

Checked it out and what do you know...there they were! I noticed most of you found one on each side...mine had two on each side for a total of four. Will get this taken care of tomorrow. Thanks!

ODEHBOY · 07-25-2011, 07:44 PM

just took mine off. I had 3 on each? is that normal?

stephsparkles · 01-07-2012, 03:30 PM

I'll be damned, I just crawled under my care and found one of those spacers left in my suspension too! Just one though, only on the drivers side ...unbelievable.

Thanks so much G Fo12ce for sharing this!

SpeedFreak007 · 03-05-2012, 10:49 AM

Has anyone had any damage from these being in for so long??

SillyZ · 04-01-2012, 06:38 PM

Thank you very much G Fo12ce for the post! I'm so glad that I joined this forum or else I would have never bothered to check for the spacers. I know that the Nismo would ride hard but I thought that it should not be this hard and bumpy. So I went online to find out what others would say about it and that's how I saw the post. My husband went to look in the wheel well and low and behold found 3 spacers on each side! I also found a piece of warning label crumpled under the seat about six spacers installed in the front coil springs used for transportation purposes that had to be removed before delivery to the customer. I just picked up my 2012 Nismo last Monday, 3/25/12. We're going to the dealership tomorrow to bring it to their attention and have them removed. I'm disappointed with the dealership's PDI because there was a caution label and it was ignored.

SillyZ · 04-01-2012, 08:25 PM

I couldn't wait for tomorrow. I had my husband jack the car up in the rain to remove the spacers. It took 2 seconds! We test drove it and it was like night and day. It now rides comfortable and quieter! I love this car even more now!!! We will still let the dealership be aware of their oversight.
