As I understand it, the V35 with a sports package comes with heavier springs and dampers and are also fitted with stiffer sway bars.

The springs can be identified by the paint dots and the dampers are red in colour.

What I would like to know is how you identify the sway bars are the stiffer sports version and peoples impression of them.

I have a 300GT and I have the sports springs and dampers but want to look at the sways to improve the open road handling.

Cheers

As long as it comes off a GT-8 it should deff be upgraded (front not sure about rear). Other than that i dont think anyone knows the exact answer to your question... if someone does id be intresting to hear some measurements as i dont think anyone has documented it yet.

I have found this on G35driver.com

Group A

03-04 350Z all trim levels (car's without the revised suspension ONLY)

03-06 G35 coupe (all USDM production with oem 17 and 18" wheels)

03-04 G35 sedan (sport and non sport suspension's

All group A car's have the following oem sway bar specs

34mm front 21mm rear

hollow wall construction 5mm in thickness (courtesy of tomsn16)

Torsional rigidity Front: 1130lbs Rear:385 (courtesy BJ EVO350)

Group B

04.5-06 350Z all trim levels (car's with the revised suspension)

05-06 G35 coupe (all USDM production with oem 19" wheels)

04-06 G35 sedan (sport and non sport suspensions)

34mm front 21mm rear

hollow wall construction 7mm front (courtesy tomsn16) 5mm rear

net change in front bar strength from 2mm increase in wall thickness

+17% (courtesy of tomsn16)

If the models correspond to the V35 then all 350GT should have the same Sway bar regardless of sports suspension or not. I would think the 300GT and 250GT are the exception as I consider its handling is average whereas the G35 gets good reviews on its handling.

I just need the part number of the sway bar from a 350GT to confirm.

In the weekend, I changed the fan belts on a mates 2004 V35 6MT 350GT sedan. His skyline came with the sports suspension.

While under the car, I noted front sway bar had the marking C4 06 written on it. Can any let me know what these numbers indicate and whether the differ from your own OEM sway bar?

Thanks

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
