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

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

'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.

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
