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.

Edited by GeNOS

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

anyone have some springs they want to sell?

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 :)

    • Already looked at a few prior to getting the MX5, really nice car, had all the mod cons, but I wasn't really sold on the new "look" I did miss my 2017 Limited, and I personally prefer the "look" of the older car over the new model, but, when pondering I kept going back looking at MX5's But it was same same for the new ND's, I wasn't sold on the new "look", especially the RF with its weird roof, which only half goes down, like a targa top sort of thing As I stated before, I did look at NC's, but the cars I looked at were PRHT's, but I didn't like their roof line "look" of the PRHT, until I saw the soft top version, (someone on SAU posted a for sale ad for one with a soft top that caught my attention, you can blame them for my choice.....🤣) and.... that old style detachable hard tops were available for them, which keeps the old MX5 more smoother flowing roof line, and the more rounded body style, similar to the NA-NB, to me, the arse end of the ND looks to "modern" Much like how I prefer the NC1 front bar, over the later models How long will I keep this car for is unknown, but currently, there's nothing else out there that "floats my boat" for a small, fun, little "sports car", that I can play with and enjoy looking at and driving But, who knows what the future holds, and going off current new car styling, if I replace it, it will be a older model something something       
    • looking forward to your t56 swap man its a game changer if it works! 
    • So, when are you trying the new GR86 or BRZ?
    • Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c
    • Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?
