Got a response back from enkei. It will NOT fit. The RPF1s cannot clear the front brake calipers.
That's unfortunate. We will never see rpf1s on a new performance trim nissan Z.
Hey I know these kinds of questions are plentiful, but It's nice to get some validation. Hence why I'm asking :).
I tracked my Performance trim Z the other day, and realized that street tires are not good for tracking. I actually need to buy tires built for the track. And if I do that, I think...
Sound clip of high pitched whine
The whine only happens on cold start and goes away once the car has warmed up a bit. It's been happening since new, so I've just ignored it. The sound goes away if you depress the clutch. It sounds kinda like straight cut gears ? . Happens in neutral or when...
Why do I see people running crazy offsets like a 19x10 et22 in the front? That moves your scrub radius by 17mm. That's a lot. I even see +20mm offsets.
Do they just not car and only setup for the looks? (admittedly it does look good).
Trying to figure out what secondary set of wheels I should get (for track use). This website seems to make a lot of sense, but I'm missing a bit of data.

I did "ghetto"...
I case anyone is wondering. I took it to a dealership since it's still under warranty. The issue is exactly as D2M said.
Seems like an easy fix. Hopefully it stays fine for a long while... I don't know how good of a fix just throwing lube into the splines is.
Got a good sample as to what it sounds like:

I normally don't drive with my windows down, but decided to do that more often after going to my first HPDE event. I was driving through my workplace's garage and noticed a click sound when I get on the throttle, and a tad after I let off the throttle (The time delay is probably due to the rev...
Usually the battery isn't all the way dead in my experience (03 camry, 11 altima, etc...). It usually has enough to run the fuel pump (I can hear it), but not enough to crank the motor with the starter.
I don't think even with computerization it would matter since the computers itself probably...
I kind of got curious and saw this in the owner's manual:
Do not attempt to start the engine by
pushing.
CAUTION
. Automatic transmission models
cannot be push-started or tow-
started. Attempting to do so may
cause transmission damage.
. Three way catalyst equipped
models should not be started...
I cannot find anywhere the minimum rotor thickness before the stock rotors are deemed unsafe. If someone else has this snippet of knowledge, please do share. Thanks! :)
About a month ago, I was driving to go and pick up a few things, and it felt like my car was driving funny. I don't go +5k turbo RPM until I've warmed up the car, but once the car was warmed up I floored it and there was no power. I looked at the boost gauge and it was failing to make any boost...
This isn't a help post as all I did was tape off the plug and then stashed this part somewhere in my house. This is more of a rant post. What the hell was Nissan thinking putting that part right there!? Of course that's gonna get kicked. It's absolutely gobsmackingly retarded! This WILL get...
I was going down the highway, and a open lane showed up. As one should..., I downshifted and took that chance to floor it almost all the way through 5th gear. I had to stop, so I applied the brakes and balanced the braking force between ABS activation and no ABS activation (approx. 1.2Gs of...
Deadass, you prolly also saw my metallic silver Z running around, since I go to china town etc... with it because I work in the westchase area. The reason why I say "also saw my metallic silver Z" is because I'm not a middle-aged asian :p.
Additionaly, There are two (me and a black sport model)...
