Here are the before and after pics. Z suspension lowered the car approx 1" all round. Ride comfort remains the same + less body roll, overall handling has improved. No complaints overall. I definately recommend it. Tried and tested method from the guys in the US.

No probs.

If you ask me, i think stock 350z springs will give you little difference and may not be worth it.

On my last V35 I used Tein 350Z H-techs. The drop was quite small and the ride was still very very comfy. You can even use G35 H-techs.

Tein designed these for a little drop, a lot of comfort, and i believe they were a progressive rated spring which gives you that added stability in hard cornering.

'G/day NISMO', Where did you get the Tein 350z H-techs from, rang one of their suppliers in SYD, they didn't have them listed, or did you get them shipped? Is there a website, if so any idear of price incl shipping! Desiderd to go with the H-Techs over the STD 350z springs. 'Thanks mate' Regards G.T.[Geoff]. :teehee:

Hey Geoff,

I used a trader from www.g35driver.com Jump on their and just PM a few traders to get quotes. Most I've found are more than happy to ship to Australia. I got mine last year and I paid around $270 US for the springs and shipping. :-)

Cheers

Thanks 'Bobby' Iv'e tried one trader on the g35driver site couldn't ship to OZ ill keep trying, I thought you might still have the website on hand! Thanks anyway, Geoff.

Not sure if this is any good to you. I do not know the seller or anything so cannot comment.

in case anyone knows of a set of OEM stock 350z springs for sale, i have deided to try them in my coupe and i'll post before and after pictures..

so feel free to PM me if you know of any, particularly form a 2003/2004 350z

'Hey Waz' How did you go with those stock 350z springs you were going to fit to your coupe, any luck!

Still like to know what the true drop in 'mm' is, front and back. Has anyone out there done this mode to a coupe yet, with the correct measurements in [mm] Thanks G.T.

Have a read of this, might give you a pretty good indication.

I got some 350z king springs on mine.. after doing some research i ended up buying them coz they were the cheapest and they are ADR approved. They are a direct fit and have been perfect. Only prob is that they are a bit softer than the standard springs. But if you have low profile tyres you will probably want a softer ride.

' Hey Montet' what drop hight in 'mm' front and back did you get, as to standed hight! Thanks G.T. [ ps. has anyone else used these king springs! ]

any pics before and after? how is the ride, softer than stock I assume?

    • Thanks heaps Duncan and GTSBoy. I'll get my old man to sit in the driver's seat and turn it on and off while I test with the meter. Or maybe other way round, depending on whether he remembers where his glasses got to
    • This is the GTR fuel pump. Yellow shows 12V, orange shows earth. The ECU provides the earth to activate the fuel pump relay. The ECU side of teh relay will pull low when the ECU activates. This is the RB20 fuel pump. Almost the same, but a little simpler. You can see I indicated (above) where the 12V line goes down to the RB20 diagram on the overall diagram, whch shows both RB26 and RB20. This is where I show it coming in on the RB20 diagram below. You can see that the dropping resistor is handled differently. When the fuel pump control is not providing earth to the pump, the pump earths through the dropping resistor and thus runs at lower voltage (some is wasted over the resistor) and runs slower. I showed that "not 12V and not quite earth" portion of the wiring in a paler orange. The rest of the wiring that I did not colour on that little section below the pump would be orange when the fuel pump coontroller is providing earth. This drop is handled inside the fuel pump controller in the GTR. Regardless, you can see where 12V is supposed to be, where earth is supposed to be. The key on prime is via the ECU providing the pump for only a few seconds the switching off. You should be able to see that happen.
    • Yeah so when you turn key to IGN the fuel pump should run for a few seconds. If you find the fuel pump relay (and have a multimeter, and a second person) to can check the relay inputs.  One trigger pin should be either fully earthed  The other trigger pin should get 12v from the ECU for say 3 seconds when you turn key to IGN, and at all times that key is at START (note, I said this from memory, it may be the other way around, ie one pin always has IGN 12v and the earth has continuity to earth when you turn the key) One Pin should have a good battery voltage The last pin goes to the fuel pump + Also note that if the power to the relay is good, and the relay is working, it is worth checking the pump has a good earth too. There is a computer in the standard system that increases the earth resistance to slow down the pump when not required, pretty old school and it may have failed
    • All this talk about fuel and fancy ECUs, meanwhile my poor old R32 has neither.... When the ignition is turned on, should there be power running o the fuel pump constantly or just for the few seconds it usually takes to prime the pump? About to go have another look at it, have watched some YouTube vids on how to use a  multimeter and looked at some wiring diagrams but really have NFI what I'm looking for because electricity is invisible  
    • Yuh....but weren't all the supertourers, except maybe the Audis, FWD? I don't recall any of the others being AWD.
