hey all my car is currently off the road with a yellow sticker, one of the probs is that its too low, it has koni suspension wich i cant adjust the height too easily, im after some coilovers that u can adjust ride height and stiffness and are good for drift,

what are some good brands?

cheers

Tein HA would be my pick,but i wouldnt drive it on the street everyday.

they have been discontinued for about 4-5years... (replaced by FLEX and then MONOFLEX) and are not very good for drift, they were designed more as a daily / sports model. i used them way back when in my 180 (replaced by TANABE D1's) and in the FD3S daily hill thrasher.

If your serious stay away from the cheap taiwanese gear (pm me, D2, K-SPORT, pm me) look for buddy club, greddy type s, tein super drift, bilstein (will build to spec) Racing gear or DG5.

The cheap taiwanses gear will tend to be sprung highly and have very poor dampening causing the car to rock about its axis. Whilst some of the jap stuff is also highly sprung te ones ive mentioned above have careful consideration taken when it comes to damper control.

Going a better coil-over will allow you to use different spring rates (if its daily) and sway bars and still maintain damping control, alternatively you can buy them as is to suit std swaybars... my recomendation is to go lower on the rates and fit bars.

    • oh they were with that motor, you need to remove the engine to change the spark plugs (don't have to, but it does make it easier)
    • I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly
    • I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
