Better pushrods is an oxymoron.

For tyres I would see what sort of money you can get Federal EVOs for. Or just use the 595s and get them hot, Noel used them back in the day and they performed well after a large burnout! Also Theo Woolett ran a 9 on them in his GTR so they cant be all bad!

But in all seriousness 90/10 shocks is what you really need. When I first upgraded the turbo in my old 32 I had no traction at all, if I went to pass someone on the highway it would put on a smoke show! But i set up my subframe bushed for squat and got the shockies set up to keep the weight down over the rear and the problem was solved.

In fact I wager that even with bigger, better street tyres you wont get much of a result until the suspension is addressed

nik, some sound advice here.

you will probably find you get more traction if you swap out your coil overs and put your standard struts in.

I don't have standard struts :(, car came with coilovers.

ur skatin everywhere :woot:

Yer it's slippery as hitters hair style, but that gives you an idea of what I'm dealing with (which I'm sure any guys with big power can relate to [even if mine dosent have big power the stall makes it feel like it dows])

:/ Seriously bro. Buy a Maxima.

LOL (and it continues)

Yer I'm regretting not going the 90/10s like I wanted to. Then everyone was like "no no get coilovers and just soften them up youll hate 90/10s" :dry:

coilovers are too hard for ya - as Luke mentioned struts TWTGO

Lawl. Take your car against the abomination at drags :P I know that you said you couldn't be there, but I can drive her :P

I could do that... or I could take my car with me and try it out on the lovely new range they just finished on my way to where I am going... I am yet to see the abomination and I am looking forward to it.

    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
