Hey guys 'GT350 & PARAGON' I dont remember the drop in mm, but i pretty sure its about 15mm - 20mm good drop. My friend has them on his 350z and he's got '19, looks good. I also got the springs with '20 and its pretty low. When i say they are soft its not a bad soft, the springs are softer than the standard ones but still good enough for driving. I will try attaching some pics for you guys....

Can anyone assist with lowering a sedan. Like most, I've spent a fair bit of time on G35 driver. From what I could gather Z springs will give the sedan about 1 1/2 inche drop.

Problem is, the last set of z springs I priced from a wrecker in Adelaide, they wanted $800.

I know KINGS do a 30 mm lower Z spring at a good price, (quoted $175 a pair), but that will be about a 60-70 mm drop, almost 2 1/2 inches which is a bit savage for a daily.

I noticed in the gallery there are a couple of lowered sedans where the owners mention they have KINGS fitted, but appear to have a mild drop.

Would be interested to know if anyone has put the off the shelf KINGS in a sedan and how it turned out.

$800 for a set of Z springs???!!!! Thats a bloody rip!

FYI, I've got full Z suspension in both my sedans and they lower the car all round by approx 1".

First set I was lucky, got the set for $110, 2nd set bought for $300, this is for the full Z suspension both with approx 10,000kms.

definately recommend you get the matching Z spring with shocks.

do u mean that v35 owner can use the whole set of shock + springs from 350z?

and can someone confirm that this can lower the v35 coupe for 1 inch?

It won't lower by 1 inch.. in fact not even near it. I believe it's half an inch. And if you have the revised Z springs, your rear will actually go higher :down:

Well, that's what happened on my 03. The reason the rear goes higher is the spring in the revised Z setup is a fair bit more resistant so it doesn't compress as much as our stock springs (or the old Z springs). The fronts however, never got revised/changed so front will definitely drop regardless of which set you went for.

Yes factory 350z suspension (springs and shocks) are a direct fit into V35 Coupe and Sedan.

No it won't lower the coupe by 1" only the sedan. Z suspension will lower the coupe by approx 1/2" only

Thanks for the info. Hard to find any Z's getting wrecked for parts, which is probably a good thing, but when you can find one the parts are expensive.

From what you are saying, the KINGS 30mm lowered Z springs will give the sedan about a 2 inch drop which is not too bad.

From the infor from G35 driver it worked out to be almost 3 which was a bit savage.

Thanks again.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
