Red, "NISMO" calipers and 15mm spacers - Pics

GO_Z_RA

Painting the calipers red had always been one of the first things I wanted to do to my car, and I finally got it done the other weekend. I had a set of NISMO vinyl decals made that turned out better than expected. I decided to install a set of Z1 huncentric 15mm spacers as well, and doing so required removal of all 4 calipers.

One note about the spacers: I read on the forum somewhere that some of the NISMOs were having issues running spacers on the front wheels. Apparently on some of our cars, the taper on the front hubs is different from the rear, thus requiring the use of a lugcentric spacer on the front vs hubcentric all around. In anticipation of this issue, I had ordered a set of lugcentric ones for the front, and I would later discover that it would be impossible for my shop to center the wheel onto the hub during high speed balancing. I then ordered a set of hubcentric spacers for the front, had them installed, and experienced zero issues.

Here are some quick pics I got with my iPhone. I still think the front needs to come down, but I already scrape pulling into my parking garage, and the roads in downtown Atlanta can get pretty scary in general
