Defelect the air going through the bumper towards the brakes. I just copied the ones SPL sells.

you have adj arms correct? did they set all of those up? i am looking for places that do performance type alignments and will mess with all those settings to get it riding smooth. we did the rear arms this weekend and the tie rods, tc rods and steering rack bushings.

waiting on 1 set of bushings to come in before i send all the arms off to have stuff pressed in, then i'll take it to get aligned.


edit - i see my brother posted up there, lol OG!




ps - to me, VIP was a fad. like a year or two ago. it's nothing new, not even in the states (well maybe everywhere except cullyfornia, it's new). the new fad with nissans is owning a 350z i rarely see 240s rolling around anymore, much less out racing at the tracks, other than the last few people that still actually drift. maybe i don't get out to the right places, but the scene is over IMO.

in other words, they slow the car down by increasing drag. jk

Yea KTS coil over and all SPL arms except rear traction rods. I just put new OEM tie rods on it the morning before I took it it to S&R. Its the second time I've taken my car there. Its worth the 100$. Durdan was the one who actually aligned the car saterday. Last time it was Mike Ranlet.

Lol hopefully that drag will keep me from running off the mountian sides up north!

Free sheet aluminum laying around > 30$ spent.

On another note, my 15 mil spacers should be in with in the week, and Z32 rear brakes should be on by this weekend.

yeah i asked my brother to get the air directors but he won't really be using them.

thanks for that info, i guess durdan is working there, i can never keep up with people. if him or ranlet work on it, that's fine by me. i just want it to finally ride like normal again, with the steering wheel straight and everything.

once that happens. its tune time. finally dyno numbers over 300 for sure yay.
