My V35 coupe has just landed this week, so I should be taking delivery of it pretty soon.

Im looking at lowering it slightly. About 1 inch, just enough to fill the gap.

Im just after a set of springs to use with the standard shocks at the moment. I havent found any Aussie companies that do springs for the V35. And after reading the G35Driver forum it seems that 350Z springs will lower a V35 an extra half inch than a 350Z.

So if I got 350Z King Springs (low) for a 350Z it might be a bit too low. I dont want it sitting too low and have to fork out extra for camber kits etc.

Would I be better off getting something like Tein S-Techs, specificly for the G35? They seem pretty common for the guys in the US.

US$254 shipped to Aus (about AUS$300)

Well this is what mine looks like with Z springs on 19's. Personally its the right height.

Yep i had 350z Tein H-techs on my old V35 and had no probs fitting them at all. The only thing was that they were just nt as firm as i would have liked. I know have Nismo springs and shocks in my current 35 and it is miles ahead in terms of cornering. The ride is slightly harsher but nothing that would I class as annoying.

I paid around $350 US shipped to my door, from the US.

Do you remember where you ordered your Nismo suspension from?

cheers for your help guys

hey mate,

The NISMO came with the V35 I now have. The Tein's I ordered from G35Driver.com.

Sorry should have been clearer. The Teins were $350

    • Hey crew, Failed my WOF cause of a lower control arm, and I've decided to hit both arms, and also the compression rods at the same time(seems they're gonna be the most likely upcoming failure points from some discussions with the lads over on the G35 reddit). I've looking at these form Z1:  https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-compression-rod-p-40716.html https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-lower-control-arm-p-40674.html I asked Z1 if they'd work as it's the same platform, just RHD vs LHD. I basically got told "Lol dunno". Specifically they aren't aware of any difference but can't guarantee fitment as they haven't done it on a 350GT. So guess I'm asking is if there is any issues with using 2005 G35 coupe suspension parts on a 2005 350GT coupe? Orginally I thought it could be something in the way of the arms that each control arm is designed to be positioned around, but that'd be an engineering nightmare for Nissan needing two different shaped control arms 😅
    • ^ This. The mode door actuator is a common failure, as is the actuator and/or the actual valve for the coolant flow control valve. I also don't know how available the mode door actuator is these days. I've been meaning to look into it and get one from wherever is possible, to keep in the shed for the rainy day when mine eventually fails. Anyway, the advice to you is to search the usual NOS part supply places, or even just go to Nissan and see what they list.
    • Have you got a pic of the actuator? My guess is that unit has failed internally and was flopping around, so the previous engineer who owned it forced it to be fully open to cold air (blocking the heater core path). As far as you can tell, is anything else wrong in the system? Likely you just need a new actuator (not sure how available they are) and then "installation is the reverse of disassembly"
    • I'm happy with the Lsailt unit that I put in, it puts full Android on the top screen so you can run whatever Nav and other Apps you want, while still existing inside the factory functionality like automatic reverse cams, audio input switching, retains factory bluetooth etc. Not cheap and the install was moderate (not simple, not hard) Yours is a V36 not V37 though right?
    • Yeap, all the NC's that I originally looked at that had a hard top were PRHT, which makes the roof line look horrible, hence why I said nope to them My only caveat for another MX5 was it needed to have a hard top, and initially I didn't think you could get a detachable hard top for the NC,  like my NB had Again, a big thanks to Matty for helping me source the detachable hard top for my little girl, they are as rare as hens teeth in Australia, and the few people who have them, keep them Also to Greg, for initially pointing me in the NC direction NC PRHT 🤢🤮 Not mine (I really should take more photos of my car), but a NC with the detachable hard top 😁 To me, the difference in how the detachable hard top roof line looks, and how it actually follows the bodies lines, like they do on NA's and NB's, is chalk and cheese compared to the bulbous looking PRHT
