Going to look now

mine had them too

My Niz still had the spacers on the front left/right. I thought the ride was a little too rough 370 miles later so I took a good look today...and sure as sh...t they were there on the front springs. Took it back to the dealer to remove. Hopefully they will double check when the next Niz is sold. Funny...I remember my niz had a tag in the window to remind service to remove the spacers. It was also checked off on PDI checklist as being removed. Thanks for the heads up fellow Zowners.

Ups! I am going to have a Nismo! I will check this everything!

You believe it. Mine still has all 4 of them installed. I'm the second owner of the Nismo. You would have thought that the former owner who was a member here. Would of checked to see if they was still there. When I bought it. It was certified used with 4 new tires and they said everything was taken care of. :shakes head: Now, it makes me wonder.

You have to find out how many they took off. When I got my 2012 NISMO, they had taken two off of each side. I know this for a fact because I have them sitting at my house. I was wondering why it was feeling so stiff still, so I decided to look for myself. I found one more spacer on each side that the dealer had missed. that is a total of three per side. LMAO Now "The Beast" rides like a champ!!!!

Wait a second... You have an '09 and there are still spacers on the car?

MsVogue 01-07-2012 05:08 PM

Yea, I have only had the car for a week, but it has 8,000 miles on it. Took it to Nissan today and they took all "6" off. My friend is a mechanic there, and was super shocked when I told him about it.

Just to let y'all know a little something... These spacers are not limited to just the 370 NISMO. A friend of mine has a 2007 350 NISMO. He was complaining that the car has always had a rough ride and also mentioned that he has read articles stating his car was not meant for road trips. I asked him if the shipping spacers were removed and he thought they were. We went outside and checked.... Wait for it... He still had a spacer on each spring. Needless to say, dude was pissed and I have yet to hear back from him.

People still occasionally find them on 20 year old 300ZX's!

We had a brand new 2012 NISMO come in the other day...still had the dealer tag on it...and still had the spacers installed. As a courtesy we put the car on the lift and removed the spacers for the owner. This is still an issue Nissan is having with the NISMO's even after it has been out for 2 years.

heebus 01-27-2012 12:29 AM

All 3 Nismo's at the dealership I went to today had them on. I had them remove them from the one I purchased :tiphat:

Suspension
 
I just picked up my 2012 Nismo this week. I read the post about the coil shipping spacers and sure as sh**, I found them on my front end suspension.
Thanks for the find!
