Hey guys

I have a V35 sedan 250 GT

and I just want to lower my car if possible, I tried Repco and Pedders, but they dont even know what V35 is.

I was wondering if there is a car which has identical springs as V35?

And I DONT want to do dodgy stuff how people cut springs n stuff.

In the future I will order Coilover form Japan, but for now, I need Lowerd springs.

yeap + 1 on the 350Z springs it loweres it about 1 inch to 1.5 . i got mine very cheap from a local mechanic cus he put coilovers for one of his customers and the guy didnt want to keep his old shocks and springs so i gave the mechanic $50 and got me a set of prety decent springs.

and best thing about that no decrease in ride comfort or scrape on speed bumbps

350z springs are not the SAME as V35 sedan otherwise there would be no point in recommending them to you. They are however compatible and are slightly shorter than V35 springs hence lowering your car by approx 1inch.

Check my topics....I have the complete set of springs and shocks from a 350z in my V35 sedan. A few other members have done the same with good results.

I have v35 gt-8 and just been lowered .. King Springs sent me a wrong ones ( too low ) then they have to make new sets just for my car .. I suggest you contact them and have to ask for the v35 sedan ... the new springs set the car nicely and fitted 17x8,5 and 17x9.5

Ask for Kris Tarrant as he is the person that took my order

I have a set of t2000 titanium springs under my v35, its too low. I need a set of 350 springs, any ideas?

Same springs as I had on my 300GT before the change to Z springs. Low is an understatement.

Now just need to sort some camber issues. :(

Keep an eye on all Nissan forums for Z spring.

from what i read on teh g35driver forum, my understanding was you need to use the 350 sturts/shocks along with the springs.. not just the springs with the 35 struts/shock.. due to travel lengths and blowing the ass out of the 35 shocks over time from being to low.

has anyone played with shock spring combos? im wondering if the 350z setup stiffness is due to spring or shock..... am considering putting the Z springs with the V shocks to see if it loses a bit of its rigidity. as it is, the Z shocks and springs compress less than an inch max under load

i really want to know if people have had personal experience rather than word of mouth.....

plenty of people say bmws are too expensive to own and fix, but i proved they were cheaper than holdens with a bit of know how

From personal & current experience I have to disagree with your statement saying the 350z shock and spring combo is like riding on bumpstops.

I have driven on stock suspension, aftermarket coilovers and have fitted the 350z shock and spring combo to both my V35 sedans 300GT and 350GT.

The 350z combo rates the best amongst all the above in terms of balancing comfort and handling. Yes they are a bit firmer than factory suspension but overall still gives you similar ride quality without sacrificing much in terms of comfort. There is also the added bonus of increased handling and reducing body roll.

My wife drives the V now taking two kids in the backseat and she has never complained once about the suspension qualities, infact I doubt she even noticed when I switched from factory to Z suspension :)

      Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣

      I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.

      Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
