Hi guys,

up for grabs are a set of 350z stock suspension. It has served me well for the 30+ks and upon removal showed no signs of leaks. This is the best bang for buck suspension mod especially for V sedans as it lowers it approx 1". a moderate but noticeable drop while retaining ride comfort and increasing handling and still completely legal height. For V coupes, this will lower your car approx 1/2". This is the springs and shocks made by tokico and came standard on 350zs.

$200 firm pick up preferred Brisbane southside. Thanks.

I can vouch for 350z springs on a sedan too. I have the 05 revised springs which have a higher rear spring rate, but they don't feel any rougher than the stock springs. I also had the 'sports' stock suspension (red struts).

As you can see from the above pics, the wheels fill the guards much better on the lower springs.

I don't have much issue with driveways or car park speed bumps, but I need to be careful of gutters or parking bump stops

Yes.

There are some different rear spring rates from the 350Z depending on the spec and year, but they will all fit.

I have uprated 350Z springs in my sedan (fronts are same rating as stock, rears a firmer) and the ride is fine. I am also using the V35 shocks, which I think are 'sports' shocks in the manual sedan (painted red), assuming it is the same as the G35 information.

If you have the non-sport suspension currently (softer springs), then it is probably worth updating the shocks to something to match the stiffer 350Z springs.

Thanks Greg,

So which 350Z year, spec has the same or closer spring rate as the stock V35 coupe 03 non-sport? 350z touring 03?

Thanks

I think the pre 05 350Z springs have the same spring rate as the coupe and the sedan with sports suspension, as far as I know, only the non-sport sedan received softer springs.

I found most of my info here.

it gives you a reference for the coloured dots on the factory springs against spring rate and which vehicle they are for.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
