Lowering The V35

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

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

      I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)

      Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.

      Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
