It feels smoother and no jagged edges. When I looked at mine very closely I could literally see tiny burrs. So I just rounded them off. The edge along both sides of the decorative stripe was kinda tricky and took my time.

the knob felt real good.

pedz- those splashguards are looking good!

yah, if i was to do it i would do 15/15 spacers. im currently running ET33/ET15 (while the rear is 10.5 on my weds), imho the offset looks perfect for stock height.

hey so i filed the decorative part of the PWJDM knob a little bit (actually, it took me like 1hr not to scuff up the brushed area.

and the mt.fuji didn't look bad so i just kept it like this. i put a little plastic ring i had in my parts bin to raise the boot a little bit. perfect fit.

(crappy droid pict...)

Looking good Kenchan.

Funny that you mention that... I was just thinking about doing a 15/15 setup. It seems like even the 20mm would stick out a little too much on the rears. Thanks for the input!

hey thanks!

yah, especially when you have the rear splash guards on running 20mm pushes out the inner side of the tire out too far making the splash guard look out of place when looked at from the back. i tried it myself when i had the stockers on and didnt like the look.

if you're lowered then it's a different story.

btw, if you do 15's in the front you'll have to use the Type1 stud replacement type spacers.... or be willing to cut the stock studs shorter if you use Type2 bolt-on types.

yeah, thanks. I'm planning on going with the Type1's on both the front and rear.

Well that worked out nice Kingzee. I'm using the century spring too. It helped out with the feel of the clutch a little bit. Definitely a good mod.

...did you drive down there or ordered it online? It was only a few miles away from me so I just went there to avoid the minimum order on their website and it seemed like he didn't even feel like selling me just one so he said "take it, we give away samples all the time"

I got in on one of the group buys on this forum. I didn't realize they were local. Otherwise I probably would have done what you did.

By the way, one of these days we are going to cross paths. I am right next door to you in Burbank.

surprised I haven't ran into you yet, I'm in Burbank very often. I always wash my car at the self wash on Verdugo

pedZ · 12-26-2011, 11:06 PM

I know that self wash. I'm only really out in the Z during the weekends but I'll keep an eye out for you.

haitech · 12-26-2011, 11:29 PM

Got my calendar in today

thanks everyone, still upgrading etc. Looking to add a body kit or just front lip and a wing. Other things to get: upgrade brake pads, brake lines and suspension.

Well after Xmas my Z was supposed to be off the road for the winter. Alas, here it sits in my work parking lot

New deadline is by new years.
