If he added 50mm spacers, that would be what we call "Mexiflush"

 

So the 5mm spacer would just push the wheel out 5mm? theres plenty of room, it should still fit under the fender

I'm just trying to get extra space between the wheel and coilover.

 

If it hits going over a bump you need to totally clear with a spacer (move barrel out) or change up ?caster?

Not sure if that word is right but it's the angle between vertical and the pitch of your shock/spring. Can't really change that one though. Measurements are key here.

 

No clue what that is...but it wasn't factory.


It does look like an old school Sirius radio antenna. I used to have one, and it looked just like that.


EDIT: Actually...you can see the Sirius logo in the dead center of it. Looks like a previous owner installed an aftermarket Sirius radio and left the antenna stuck on the roof.

 

Wow thanks! I never realized it had a logo but when you said it, I too can see the ghosting of it in my picture. I guess its still missing the box or whatever is needed in the trunk though or perhaps there are other ways to setup for satellite because I tried it once and found out I cant do anything without the module in the trunk.

So would it be ok to remove that antenna completely and my AM/FM radio should be untouched, or do you think they disconnected the stock antenna in order to use that Sirus one? To clarify, the stock antenna for me would be built into the rear window, correct?

 

If you trace that antenna back, you'll find a jack at the end like the picture. It doesn't integrate with the factory radio at all. It's strictly an add-on radio that you see frequently suction cupped to the windshield.


The stock radio antenna is in the back windshield. Look for lines that look like defroster lines that don't extend all the way. That's your antenna.

 

Every now and then, when I turn over the ignition it will crank, but not start. My initial thought is alternator or fuel issues getting to the engine. After I turn it over 2 or 3 times it will start right up and run smoothly. Anyone experience similar issues or know more specifically what might be causing the problem?

 

When's the last time you replaced the spark plugs? That's where I'd start

 

I'd have to look at the service records - I just bought the car 3 weeks ago haha. When I took it for a test drive it started right up and everything was perfect. I'll definitely look into that though, thank you for the heads up.

 

Is there any difference in a G35 Sedan Steering rack and a 350z rack? LIke a quicker turning ratio. My rack needs replacing and if possible I figured id upgrade....

 

How old is your battery.


When my car started doing that, it was the battery. One day it just wouldn't start anymore. Replaced the battery and never had that issue again

 

I just installed KW coilovers and an SPC camber kit and now the ball joint on the upper control arm up front hits the fender liner. I put the camber adjustment as positive as it would go to get it as close to stock as possible. Did anyone else have this problem, and have a solution for it? I'm about to just cut the liner for clearance so I can get to work.

 

^Did you install the shims?

 

^no I thought those were just to get a little extra positive camber if you were really slammed.

 

Those are there for extra camber despite the drop. With those installed you probably won't have to max out the A-arms. Might help if you're only hitting near the fender.
