Few things I noticed on my Nismo...

When would you hear the "axle click? Is it a constant noise or something else?

You can only hear it when going from a dead stop forward or reverse. A slight "click, click" in either direction. In 2003 a friend bought a new 350Z and it started clicking, we had no idea what it was as the car was new and resources were limited at that time.

Thanks. I will keep an ear out for it. Just crossed 1k miles in my 2024 performance and have not experienced it yet. However I have done some hard pulls and a few launch control runs on back roads. This makes me afraid to keep doing that in case my Z would develop this issue. At least its fixable.

It may not ever happen, it was a common issue in the past maybe it wont reoccur in the RZ34, time will tell. Regardless its not a big deal so drive it like a rental!!

Go with some HKS Hipermax R’s!

So I dont plan on tracking this car, I have another car for that. I want to set it up for a 300tw tire, also not trying to lower the car. HKS Rs are nice but the spring rates are insane, the 370Z spec is a bit better I think. I would also like a 2 way adjustable damper. So far I am leaning towards the Silvers Neomax 2 way.

Another fun fact. The Nismo has a zero mm (0) scrub radius from the factory, good job Nissan. I put a 12mm spacer up front and ruined it effectively having a +12mm scrub radius but I cant be seen driving a hovercraft.

Hi, what brand and where did you get the 12mm spacers from? Thanks!

Have fun installing these, the front hubs have to come off the car as the brake shield wont let you remove the old stud or install the new one.
