OK i have just picked up my car and I want to lower it a tad.

After not being able to find 350z springs easliy the next quickest option is King Springs for the 350z

Has anyone put these in there cars yet??

Im not wanting to go the whole shebang of suspension and all that just want it lowered a tad.

Zac.

Wouldn't do it...

The king springs for Z lower the Z 30mm or so... and Z springs onto V coupes lower an additional 1/2" so ~13mm. i.e. Total 43mm drop..you will kill your tires quickly due to the neg camber it will be running (can only adjust camber on the V so much).

I personally think it would look great...

but then again if you aren't willing to go that low then its better you keep waiting for a 350z springs, unless King springs makes some

for the V35 (last time i asked they didnt). The V35 has no camber adjustments on the rear only a little bit of toe.

Im looking to go down this path very soon, lots of camber you say? what camber?...camber is sexy :thumbsup:

mines alswo on king springs but dont know if it is 350z as it was lowered in japan. camber wear is a pain but does look nice. also once you lower your car places you go can be limited. i cant even go to my local supermarket as the speedbump are way to high.

I have mine on 350Z king springs.

They are soft. It is low. Get what you pay for. Tyre wear is acceptable aslong as you rotate. Ive done over 15,000kms on Khumo Ecstas.

Peaky speedhumps suck. Looks good though.

so soft as in they don't have the same spring rate as the OEM springs??....but 15K out of a set isn't that bad. Esp if your not using it as daily drive....oh and G7 would you have a picture of your car?, just want to see the drop.

I have the King Springs for the 350z on my V35 sedan, they are great, lowered about an inch. They are only 15% stiffer than stock, so the ride quality is basically the same.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
