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!

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...

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.

      The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
