Probably a dumb question but can you use a complete 350Z strut in place of a V35 coupe set up?

Reason I ask is that I have a 2003 350GT on its way from Japan with TEIN adjustable suspension, and I need a standard set for registration and I know someone with a Z.

Since we are on the suspension subject....

I have standard suspension in mine and would like to lower it a little, not too much, I also plan to put 19" rims on as well.

Could anyone tell me what they recommend, and what have others done to their coupes. Like I was thinking either getting lower springs or putting in a whole new suspension, say from a 350Z?

I don't want it to be ridiculus to drive after.

Cheers!

I'm recommended to get tokico shocks with tein springs. I have these setup on my car and ride very smooth with 19's.

btw, I may sell my current 19's racing hart, pm me if you are interested :huh:

If you don't track the car, I've heard that the Eibach progressive-rate springs are an excellent compromise spring for street use.

I used to use Koni Sport dampers and I loved them. I know a guy in Melbourne that was similarly fond of his Tokico dampers / Tanabe springs so you probably can't go wrong with either setup.

Do the 350z springs apply to the sedans as well?

Off the top of my head, I'm pretty sure they do, but I would check G35Driver.com to be safe.

Also remember that as the 350Z springs are lower, you may end up with camber issues if you put aftermarket 350z springs on your V35. Just depends on how low they are.

350z spring gives just a bit lower, nothing relate to camber!

I have tein s-tech spring which give an aggressive drop with rear offset 25 19x10, but no camber issue!

S-tech springs will fit the sedan.

Perfect! Thanks for all the pointers - really great :thumbsup:

If I pick up the s-tech's - whats your take on shockers? I see that Spikey used tokico on his coupe...

      R34 GTR Speedo Drive , sensor type ?

      By Butters · Posted

      Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
