Firmness Of Suspension

Hi guys, just got my car for almost a week now. Before I got my car, I was watching a review of the G35 in youtube and the review was saying the car's suspension is smooth and nice and much better than the 350Z for usual roads.

After 1 week of driving on NZ roads, i note that the car is nice n quiet on smooth tar road. However, when there are more bumpy roads, I note that the car's suspension is quite firm and the noise level is much higher.

Just keen to know what's everyone's experience and verdict for their v35's suspension. Mine is stock suspension + stock Bridgestone Potenza 18 inch tyres.

I've got stock suspension and stock 18s (45/18 rubber) and I imagine the experience is much similar to yours. The car is exceptionally smooth for what I would have expected. I have a Honda Accord Euro CL9 too which is lowered on Eibach Pro springs and Koni Yellow adjustable shocks with 40/18 rubber and the V35 is considerably smoother over bumps

Yeap, got a coupe too. Smooth road is smooth as. Bumpy rough roads, more road noise and what not, but I don't think it's that uncomfortable?

I came from an s14 lowered, so everything about this car is more comfortable :D

Are you trying to compare it against any particular car?

Coupe has firmer suspension than sedans, so if you're after a totally smooth ride, get the sedan...

The 350gt/gt8 has the same suspension as the 350 coupe, as the spring rates are the same.

I have the GT8 and have fitted a full Nismo set from a 350z, the spring rates are slightly different to the Skyline spec items, .1 kg different front and rear, the ride is still good but the handling is much improved, reduced body roll.

Well I m not really comparing it with other cars. And I did expect the car to have a firmer suspension compare to a sedan. It is a sports coupe afterall. So definitely not complaining n I do feel the ride is great. I guess my only little concern is really the noise level on bumpy road. It's still smooth though just abit noisier. But like I say I m not complaining as I m loving every second I m driving the car.

The main reason I started the thread was just to know how others feel.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
