the 350z shocks and springs in my 250gt sedan exactly replicates the "driving on bumpstops" sensation, this is in comparison to a previous car i owned which infact was on the bumpstops.

it is also important to note that i roll on 235-35-19's..... so there is no sidewall to absorb bumps either

it is shaking the crap out of my interior. have noticed a few new constant squeaks and rattles including centre console, left a-pillar and parcel shelf from the first drive with Zs fitted. most of the bouncing is now just me being thrown out of the drivers seat, and items in my boot getting airborne. and im no hoon, i only drive at 55. it is quite simply horrible

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

its not word of mouth.. its personal experience i read from the guys on g35driver forum

Might find you scored the track spec 350z suspension? It is firmer than the standard 350z stuff. Either that or get rid of the 350z springs and buy some eibachs they are the best springs for the money around imo.

Im running 350z track shocks with aftermarket springs and the ride is o.k its firm but not ridiculous.

What you are describing shouldn't be the case...I'm riding on 235/40/19. Either your shocks are dead or as explained above you got the track version.

aaaaaah! theres something ive overlooked! time to do some part number research. if thats the case, i'll be looking for non-track items. they definitely feel as though they would be more at home on a smooth racetrack than roads with manhole covers and speedhumps.

Research suggests I have the early 350Z setup with the stiffer rate rear springs. The later 350Z's have same fronts but softer rears, which would be better IMO.

      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.
