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.

      R32 Sedan - Grip and Drift (have my cake and eat it too build)

      By CRSKmD · Posted

      I made a little more progress last night and added some E85 safe fuel tank baffle foam in behind the stock cam cover baffle plate.  It still feels really wrong shoving foam inside the engine but apparently its fine based on it pretty much being the MINES/Hi-Octane RB26 cam baffle kit and the few posts here I have found of people doing it and the lack of posts saying the foam broke down and ruined the motor... Still plan to check it frequently though lol The last step for this round of oil control modifications I plan to make is to add some -12AN fittings to the cam covers and connect them to some (already existing luckily) -12AN fittings on the sump. Basically a sudo head drain/sump breather/pressure equaliser without having to remove the motor and do the one on the rear of the head. My plan is to add them to either the tops or the sides of the cam covers at the back. unless there is a compelling reason to have them at the front on the sides which i have seen a few times though they were all on RB26 cam covers from memory so that may be due to the stock breathers being on the back and the integral baffle being different ?

      Import insurance in 2025

      By CRSKmD · Posted

      from an old insurance company i was with (Budget Direct) I had someone roll back into me at the lights got them to pull over. Got a picture of thier licence with address, had a dash cam video and, thier phone number. But only had 3rd party on the shitbox i was driving. insurance did nothing, cops wouldn't do anything due to the value of the damage (under $3000) so i just had to suck it up and go to U Pull It.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Small Update on the Exhaust Situation A 200-cell cat was a bit too expensive for now, so I had the exhaust shop fabricate a new exhaust from the cat to the rear and an exhaust tip. I went this route to avoid cutting into the original exhaust and keep it intact. It’s essentially straight-piped, and the sound is noticeably different. The exhaust tip came with a silencer, so if it gets too loud, I can easily install it to tone things down slightly. Right now, the car bangs and pops like crazy -- which I personally love. In the future, I might add a resonator or a 200-cell cat, as niZmO_Man suggested, but for now, I’m really happy with how it turned out.

      And that's a massive problem, because deadshits will deadshit and give you false details. At least in these days of mobile cameraphones, it is trivial to take photos of any ID they are carrying at the same time as the 300 photo extensive documentation of the state of the vehicles that I recommend even for minor incidents. And you get photos of the person's face, any visible tatoos, etc etc, while you're at it. Then you try to avoid mentioning that you're fully capable of making explosives of various power levels and will wreck their shit if you are forced to hunt them down.
