Kidzik is going to buff up the paint and take care of the inifniti logo residue. Just looking for maintenance things that need to be done right now. trans flush, got the dealer to replace knock sensor and valve cover gaskets and new plugs. So while I am upping the maintenance I will be scouring Upgarage and YAJ for some coils

Thanks got a line on some s14 coilovers for the rear so if i can get my hands on some y33 fronts or maybe s14 convert it'll be sitting low soon.

The interior is probably 8/10 few wounds in the leather in places you wouldn't normally look and the arm rest on the driver door was worn down bad. Looks like someone tried to buff the leather/vinyl and burned it bad. So I am having the wife redo it. found some decent fabric to use at a local shop here.

Doesn't matter who beats who. Just do it if you like it.

Yeah I think the wheels suit the car very well. Hell look better on this car then on the 7 series if you ask me.

Thanks for the compliments guys. Definitely need to touch up on the paint but the car was keyed before I bough tit so it will need to be repainted more than likely.

I would go lower but i need arms and some type of camber adjustment for the rear.

Broke did you relocate your harness in the wheel well? Thinking I may need to do that if I go lower.
EDIT: Actually the rears do not go lower unless take off some of the pre-load.

Really?? Ya gotta take out preload to get it lowered. I had a gang of preload and still had abilitly to go lower. Now I've change the way things were. What coils are they again??
Yeah, doesn't look like you need a whle lot more camber. PBM's arms will get ya more than whatcha need.

As for the harnesses, there like a lil crevis up in the frame that I tucked mine up into. Straight ziptied and that'll do it =)

Yeah as for camber my main concern was if i go with a different tire setup. When we were rolling the fenders, I disconnected the lower perch and jacked the wheel up into the fenders and there was just enough clearance to slide a card through. Plus the Nankangs have this lip on the side wall (protects wheel from rash probably) that hits the fender as it sits now. I don't want to pull anymore so I would need a tad more camber.

I yeah saw the crevice that harness is in now and looks ok just may need to tuck that harness up in there a lil more.

Also the rears are K-sport and Buddy Clubs in the front. (K-Clubs) hahaha

DIY Y33 pillowball mount

First step was to remove the pillowball from the S-chassi suspension. Typically this is done by removing the 4(6) hex screws securing the pillowball to the top hat(camber plate)
The pre-drilled Y33 top hat is at the top and the S-chassi camber plate is at the bottom with the pillowball mount.
Forum image

Next here is the pillow ball mount separated.
Forum image

and here is the new home of the pillowball mount set in with the Y33 top hat.
Forum image

Really simple, so no serious DIY would be needed but just wanted to show some pics of what I did.
The hardest part was lining up the holes. But this is so worth the effort as I got rid of my binding problem and now no longer need camber plates until I am ready to add more camber.
