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.

Yes you can. I'm running a complete set of Z suspension in my sedan (struts and springs). Coupes are identical.

no, that's a tein s-tech spring with tokico shocks.

Hi Spikey,

I upgraded my silver 300GT Sedan for a blue 350GT manual 6speed coupe - cannot say enough about how seriously happy I am :D

I have picked up the Tein s-tech's from 'Blitz_boy' (thanks man), now for the shocks... can you tell me the part number or info on your tokico shocks? Your drop looks exactly like what I'm after! Nice one!!

Also Spikey... could you tell me the size and offsets of your wheels? I'm looking at 19" wheels for my coupe and think your wheels offsets look perfect :laugh:

ps. I'm looking at 19" staggered front: 8.5" 40 offset and rear: 9.5" 45 offset

Those are very weak offsets for a coupe...more suited to sedans..you should take advantage of coupe guards as they can take most GTR offsets. ie +15, +20

Hay thanks for tip... I was thinking of spacers as I like the wheels (had picked them out for my 300GT Sedan - but sold it for the Coupe). Thinking of 20mm spacers front and rear - making them +20(8.5"), +25(9.5")... stock are +30 I think. But your saying +15, +20... these fill up the guards nicely I take it? Would I need any rolling with the staggered wheels? Like to fill the guards like pic of Spikey's ;)

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
