Nope, stock height. That cap stuck up about 5" It was hard to tell pulling in. I saw it but thought i could straddle it no problem. when i look at it from the other angle after hitting it I could see how high it really was. Need to look out when you get to truck country

Honestly, the number of things I need to watch out for on the road, especially with a Nismo, is getting to the point of absurdity. Little dips in the road, roadkill, snowballs, inclines or declines of more than .5 degrees... I've held off measuring my actual road clearance bc when I find it out, my Z may never leave the garage lol.

Drive shaft, shifter, undertray, front suspension member stay all out



Just need to remove the wiring harness, crank position sensor, starter and it should be ready to drop. Barring complications or laziness the trans should be out next sunday.

I, too, washed my Z and used some Woolite to tidy up the seats after a little coffee accident...stuff works wonders.

Really stuck on what test pipes to pair up with my short tails if anyone has any suggestions. YouTube hasn't helped lol

I got my Evo R ducts test fit. They fit nice and flush. They'll be pulled back off and painted the body color and mounted with stainless steel black powder coated button head bolts.

You going to use 3" hose for brake cooling? Don't use the orange double wall stuff. It's hard to make bends with it. With those ducts, you should have a easier time routing the hose then using the RC ducts. The RC ducts like mine are closer to the center and the right side puts the hose right into the washer reservoir.

I used the powdercoated button head bolts on mine too. Still had some rust show up in the center because the allen wrench chipped the coating inside the hole. So be warned.

You going to do the big mouth mod on the grill area too?

I'm actually using one side to cool my oil cooler. Since my car isn't a track car I didn't feel the need for additional brake cooling but I do need more oil cooling.

My bolts are stainless steel under the powder coating. I still want to be careful not to chip the power coat.

Your oil cooler going to be mounted in front of the tire instead of being in front of the radiator?
