Thanks for the heads up! I definitely plan on checking them again. I get the impression most people “set it and forget it”. For something in a critical location, it seems negligent to not re-check them at least once.
Correct, it’s their “wheel fitment kit”. It’s two sets of 20mm aluminum spacers.

Got these installed this morning! I ended up going with 85 ft. lbs. since Z1 confirmed Nissan's spec was 80 but a few folks had been doing 90+. Very easy install, just time consuming to spec every bolt. I also decided against using Loctite; Z1 point blank said they don't recommend it.
Thanks all! I'm installing these tomorrow afternoon. I bought Loctite Orange (yes, there's an orange) that seems like an in-between the blue and red. Still not sure I'll use it but we'll see.
What's the torque spec you all used? Z1 told me 80 ft-lbs.
Ended up getting the Z1 kit. Almost went with Mishimoto but for some reason, their kit said it wouldn't work on a 2024 Z.
Question for those that have installed spacers - Loctite, yay or nay? I'm leaning towards adding it to the stock studs that attach to the spacers. A friend of mine that has...
I took my Z to its first ever car show! Pretty small show but it was local so I figured why not? It was much more of an older crowd and classic cars but I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed folks coming up, telling me how much they loved the Z, and all of the great memories they had of the 240Z...
Got some more vinyl installed this morning! Had them wrap the center front lip and rear bumper area in gloss black and then had a copy of the Nissan hood vinyl installed. Very happy with the look, especially the rear.
What made you go with GarageLine instead? I’ve never messed with spacers so I have no clue what to look for. At the very least, it looks like GarageLine is roughly half the cost of the Z1 kit…
I’ve entered the world of spacers and have some interest in doing this. I read through the thread and it seems like:
A) Everyone likes 15mm for the front and 20mm for the back but the 15mm fronts don’t work with the stock rims.
B) The fallback is the Z1 kit with 20mm all around.
Has anyone...
Personally, I doubt it. I remember when I ordered them, most of the other models were out of stock except for the RZ34. I bet they finally just sold out of what they had and aren't making more available until the new brackets are done. Keep in mind - I'm very happy with these and the bending...
Good stuff! I bought my 2024 in March on similar incentives. Definitely would recommend. However, keep in mind, offers cannot be combined. If they're the same as they were for the 2024s, the financing offer(s) cannot be combined with the $2,500 customer cash.
How do you have any knuckle skin left!?
The hose clamps are the biggest issue for sure. 1/4” socket extensions saved the day.
I was going to do the Boosted 6 setup but decided against it in favor of keeping it OEM and closed box. The Z is new with still less than 900 miles on it so starting...
Got my Nismo CAI kit and installed it. All I can say is that this install is “deeply unpleasant”. I’m not sure if I left more blood or sweat in the garage but holy hell, this sucked.
Happy with the result but would not do this again.
This is a crazy good deal. I'm still happy with the Nismo branded setup but if someone wants AMS, this is the cheapest I've seen it by $40-$50.
Good point, I forgot the K&N had that setup. If it was still on sale at $399, I would consider it but not at full price. Most places are out of stock...
Literally just price and the NISMO brand. $499 w/ free shipping was a solid deal for the NISMO. I ordered it direct from a Nissan dealer and it shipped within 12 hours.
With that said, I do think the style of the AMS setup is awesome.
If you want intake sounds, can't you just run the box unopened? Not that I would but I assume that's an option for the Nismo and the AMS setup. Any tips on install? Sounds like a pain but AMS has a solid set of instructions.
