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.

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.

      R32 GTR EV? The leaf of the Godzilla's!

      By Duncan · Posted

      I can't agree. If we hadn't all been brought up with the noise caused by the inefficiency of an ICE, no-one would actually ask for all that. An EV is like any other car, it just goes better.

      2 more things I have to work out Easy one first...can anyone describe how to pull the fuel pump and sender from a 33? I can feel there is some sort of mount and clips but don't have a manual and don't know the trick......if not I'll spend some quality time in the boot witha lighter tomorrow. Second question is harder.  He had changed the upper plenum to a plazmaman but clearly got to a point with the vacuum hoses where he said "f**k it, I'm going inside for a beer" and never came back to that job because it was a mess. Am I right to think that I need: 1. Pre throttle (16mm nipple on inlet) to AAC's main 20mm fitting as the main pre throttle feed 2. ACC has a second 13m outlet joined to that 20mm fitting which I think is the pre throttle air supply for the cold start valve? 3. Cold start valve's outlet fitting then goes to Plenum (to bypass throttle?) There is some adapter on the back of the ACC with 2 fittings (13mm and 10mm), do I run the 10mm through a 1 way valve to the Brake Booster (4) and the 13mm back to a 13mm nipple on the Plenum as the Idle control (5)? 6. Run a 6mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart BOV to the Plenum? 7. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Fuel Pressure Reg to the Plenum? 8. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart Boost controller to the Plenum? (Wastegate already has a pre turbo pressure source running to the solenoid then the wastegate on the other side of the bay)  Any help appreciated, the GTR is quite different setup and while the Stagea also has FFP it is different again. (And no Dose, I'm not pissing it all off and putting a ethrottle on it....)

      OK, onto some questions to try and speed up the process a little. Does anyone know what core this Garret is? I know it is a high flowed standard turbo but nothing else about it. Tag says OK 0169J - 446179-5032 Same question for the injectors, I don't know what they flow and ideally can work it out before it hits the dyno, they are a mustard yellow side feed

      Quick side trip into the engine externals, alternator and PS were in place including tensioned belts, but the PS was dry (my guess is he had the steering rack reco-ed). Filled it up with Transmax Z but it will need more bleeding once the engine is running no doubt. BTW I've said before, I don't know what kind of soft animals you have in the city, but out here they breed the rats tough. I bet they were disappointed when they tasted synthetic ATF.... Coilpacks are Splitfires with a factory loom in reasonable condition. I didn't pull one put I bet the spark plugs are new as its a new engine

      Onto intake pressure test. I have a Raceworks (damn brand thieves!) pressure test adapter that lets you apply pressure through a standard tyre valve and comes with a pressure gauge.....I just blocked off the other end immediately before the throttle body. Applied 30psi....and the turbo intake immediately popped off with a bang. Sorted that but it was still leaking, turns out there is a pinhole leak at the BOV adapter that I'll have to find a local place to TIG up. I'm sure it makes SFA difference with such a small leak but I want it to be right. Everything else up to the throttle body was good. Also cleaned and oiled the KNX cone filter, and this is the AFM if anyone can identify it (car runs a PowerFC)
