Apologies for the blonde question.

I want to lower my v35 very slightly which the 350z 'springs' would do well, however, the stiffer/lower 350z springs will not match the standard v35 shocks and cause camber/toe issues in the long run.

SO would the 350z suspension (both shocks and springs) on the v35 reduce the camber/toe issue all together??

I have been running 350z suspension (shocks and springs) on my sedan for the past 6 months. Camber has been reduced to -1.25 all round. No uneven tire wear and rides much better than stock. A lot of G35 drivers in the US lower with 350z springs only with factory shocks and have had no real issues with camber as it lowers sedans by 1" all round and a bit less on coupes. Personally I would still go with the full setup, that way you are running matching shocks and springs from a Z. Z springs and V shocks will most likely wear out quicker IMHO.

Thanks for the quick replies

pw350gt: Yeh i might think of getting camber arms if or when the used Z suspension plays up.

n15m0: -1.25 camber is good! so the full Z sussy set-up may be the cheapest alternative for a subtle drop (if i convince my mate to palm it off to me lol). And i agree with the matching shocks n springs with getting the full Z sussy set-up- piece of mind too.

Do you happen to have pics of before n after pics of ur car on Z sussy??

or if any coupe owners out there that have done this?? would love to see pics!

Ok.....Another blonde question from a black-haired asian....

So coilovers for a 350Z would fit to a V35 sedan? Reading this thread, I would assume this is the case as the 350Z standard shocks and springs fit...

    • If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.
    • This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).
    • I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.
    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
