My New 2013 Nismo

Gauge · 08-26-2012, 02:15 AM

The front end seems to be sitting a little high. Make sure the spacers are not still on the front springs. This is an extremely common oversight. There is a thread on this.

There are 3 total, two on the sides, and one on the inside. You can easily tell if they are present by running your hand long the springs when the wheel is turned one direction or the other.

Thank you!! I just went out and checked and they were removed. I notified the dealer when the car arrived that I read this on this forum and that they needed to make sure that they are all removed. Thanks for the heads up!

One problem that I have is radiator fluid leaking from the cap. When I first test drove the car it had a little steam comming from the engine. I thought this was because it was new. Today I looked in the engine and saw drops of radiator fluid slowly dripping down from the cap! I removed it and made sure it was tight. Took it for a drive and it is still leaking. Tomorrow I'll go back to the dealership. Anyone else have this issue?

Just probably a bad cap.. I would not worry too much about it. Let us know what they say.

Thanks for the info. I"ll report the results.

Does anyone that has dark tint on have any feedback? I was going to tint the back window 5% limo black and the sides at 50%. I decided to hold off because the rearview visibility is very limited. Any feedback would be appreciated. Otherwise, the car is fantastic. The syncro rev matching is very cool. I was exiting the highway and took a turn at around 50mph while downshifting. It precisely matched the rev. Now that I'm used to it really enhances the driving experience!

I'm at 5% in the back and I think 15% on the sides.

The second pic was a very bright day and you can't see **** through it even looking through the windshield. Third pic is from the inside looking out back, but the truth is I never use my rearview mirror because driving with Loc's on you can't see **** through it either. And at night, forget about it. I have to roll my windows down to back up. I also drive with my windows down about 95% of the time anyways day and night so the darkness never bothers me and I love it that it doesn't get extremely hot inside when I get back to my car during triple digit temps.

I have limo in the back and one shade lighter on the sides. At night, its hard to see, so I take it slow. you can always get a back up camera, that will help some. The car looks so much better with Tint!

It's amazing what some painted wheels and calipers do for the look of the car. I love the 2013 models.

Thanks for the pictures. Your car looks great! I'm gonna get over it and do it. I'll post the pictures when done.

Hey Mick,

What model pioneer did you get for your 12 370z. Does it come with the back up camera? What about the quality of the video output? Does it have home link where you can open and close your garage? What about navi? Thanks.
