New nismo questions and possibly concerns

Fleece82 · 11-08-2010, 09:12 AM

Ok guys new to the forum and just got my new nismo Saturday. I was reading a thread on here about hinge to check before driving off the lot. The salesman actually checked the wheel locks for me and gave me the key. I checked tire pressure myself but the one thing people keep talkin about r spacers. I'm not sure how to check or even what I'm lookin for to see if the spacers are off. Any help is appreciated. Also, if spacers are on it, what kind of problems or issues would having these spacers on. Just curious cuz I've already put 500 mi on it.

Check your front springs. The Nismo ships with 6 spacers and many have reported at least 1 on each side being left in. They're usually behind the springs and hard to see as shown in the pic above. Reach in the wheel well and feel around. If you feel something on the back side of the spring then you probably have the spacer still in. Just jack up the car and it should pop right off.

Congrats on the Nismo.
