Lowering 2007 350Gt Type S

Hi there

I have found some discussion that people replace their springs with 350z springs to get 1" of lowering. There seems to be a fair few variables about which years and types this works for, and whether to use revised or non-revised springs etc from the 350z.

For my year of 350gt can I simply replace the springs with 350z springs? Should these be revised or non-revised? Will I need to replace the shocks or install a camber kit?

Please excuse my ignorance as I have never lowered a car before and don't know anything about it .... just think that my car will look much better sitting a bit lower :-)

I am assuming you have a V36? If so, then you can't use 350Z springs I am pretty sure - they are the same as the V35 springs - not V36.

But, I am not sure if the 'swap springs trick' works the same with the 370Z or not - I assume it would.

Isit a sedan? If it is a sedan and its 2007 then yes it's a V36.

Why don't you go for after market springs? Like Eibach Pro Kit Lowered Springs? I think they have better spring rates and it drops about 1.1"

Hi yes it is a sedan. So I guess that settles that it is a V36. Despite previous poster's comment, its not self evident!

Thanks for your suggestion about the Eibach springs - so just the springs or would I need to replace the shocks / or add a camber kit?

I have the springs. It is a direct fit/drop into the stock shocks.

I did not get a camber kit. It would be awesome to put one it if you have the cash...I didn't think it was necessary for my use...

IMO, the ride quality was not compromised. You feel the road abit more and theres more stability as well.

I'd get a sway bar if I were you. Best purchase ever :P

If you are only dropping around an inch then the general rule is you don't need a camber kit. You may see a TAD mote wear on the inner edges of your tyres, but that is about it.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
