Lots of New pics...TEIN BASICS on my s13 - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Got Sileighty? · 05-23-2004, 03:12 PM

just got them last week. finally took pics yesterday after a quick wash. i also put on some half amber/clear turn signals. enjoy....

BEFORE:

AFTER:

front wheel clearance:

rear wheel clearance:

rear camber!

front camber:

photochopped front license plate away:

thats it for now. the fronts have some kind of jdm camber plates i bought from my friend. theyre red in color, i forgot to take a pic of it. o well, maybe next time. im also thinking of maybe raising the car up a bit, because theres excessive tire rubbing right now and its pretty annoying.

bad news though, the front springs make noise like theyre being twisted whenever i turn my wheel.

we'll try to figure out what it is tomorrow, so wish me luck. if anyone has encountered this problem before, any help would be appreciated as well. thanks...

wow i didnt realize photobucket f***s up your pics really bad! wtf! i resized them to 640x480 before uploading them too.

Got Sileighty? · 05-23-2004, 05:36 PM

well i didnt really post for the wheels cuz ive had them for like a year now. but anyway, ask and u shall receive:

tomei sports wheels 16x7 front, 16x8 back. +29 offset all around.
tires are falken azenis st-115s, 205/55 front and 225/50 in the back.

salty, id like to take front license plate off, but then id prolly get pulled over for it. stupid law!

tew photy · 05-23-2004, 08:05 PM

i've never had the plate in the front. i just stick wedge it between the dash and the windshield, never had a problem.

Ivan · 05-23-2004, 09:13 PM

where is it that you're rubbing? in the lip thats inside the fenderwell or on the fender itself?

Got Sileighty? · 05-23-2004, 10:45 PM

ivan: not really sure where, since ive only had it for a week. my friend and i will inspect it more closely either tomorrow or tuesday while we try to fix the spring problem.

tew photy, i know people who do that and have gotten tickets for it. the plate has to be on the front bumper somewhere.

Legacy · 05-24-2004, 02:11 AM

Your car is pretty similar looking to mine. I love it. Nice job. =)

Teerawood · 05-24-2004, 03:17 AM

pull your fenders.

future240owner · 05-24-2004, 01:54 PM

what kind of springs were you running before the tein basics?

Maybe you meant roll the fenders? He shouldn't need to pull them with those offsets and tires.

tew photy · 05-24-2004, 08:11 PM

if youre rubbing in the front, you can remove those fender liners too, that gives you a bunch more clearance

NismoSilvia270R · 05-24-2004, 08:40 PM

what did the Basics replace, stock suspension?
if so it rode pretty low. my coupe sits like a truck

Andrew Bohan · 05-24-2004, 09:33 PM

i want those wheels. where and how much?

Got Sileighty? · 05-25-2004, 12:19 AM

yea they replaced stock suspension. everyone thought ive always been on lowering springs though cuz it already looked low.

i dont wanna take out fender liner because of the now infamous wiring-harness-getting-chewed-out-by-tires problem. so i think ill just raise it up a bit.

i got lucky finding these wheels from jspec. i saw another set for sale on ebay a couple of months ago, i think they were +35 offset though.

edit: hey legacy, stop jocking my car! hahahahaha jk

You should be bale to tuck the harness somehwere up in there.... I'll be doing that this weekend cuz my fender liner rubs with factory ride hieght....

Twinkie · 05-25-2004, 08:09 PM

How do the Tein Basics ride besides the fender rubbing? nice and smooth? I was planning to get that in the future.

Got Sileighty? · 05-25-2004, 10:48 PM

other than fender rubbing and the spring loading noise? it rides quite nice. i notice a huge difference when i make some decently fast turns. theres like no body roll, or at least i havent taken a turn fast enough to feel it yet.

TokyoNights · 05-26-2004, 10:06 AM

Is that aS low as they could go,or you can go even lower?

Got Sileighty? · 05-26-2004, 01:19 PM

no it can go even lower, but i wouldnt wanna be riding that low hehehe

smellslikecurry · 05-26-2004, 01:36 PM

how much did they cost you?
