the drop is cosmo racing coilover sleeves. i sectioned the front strut housings, grinded off the original spring perches, and welded on my own perches made out of spare piping. the front now fits a pair of 87-89 mr2 rear strut cartridges. the rear will fit 240z front strut cartridges if you make a spacer.. but unfortunately i havent done that yet. overall i think that cosmo racing coilover sleeves are a decent coil kit alternative instead of the ground control kit for the s30 if matched with a good set of strut cartridges. cosmo racing offers different spring rates for their coils up to 448 lbs/in. their site is cosmoracing.com

heres a pic of the chassis clearance .. hahahhaha

kin-iro-z · 07-18-2008, 04:52 AM

OH SHIII i forgot to mention i also have an s130 2+2!!! hahahaha so make that 3 z's

well, i'm sorry, there's no sarcasm detector online. maybe if you were talking in person i could have known it was sarcastic..

cbates14 · 07-28-2008, 10:46 PM

here's mine, got her just 2 months ago:

cbates14 · 07-31-2008, 08:02 AM

one day, she'll look like this:
(a little p-chop action

)

xplicit240 · 08-05-2008, 10:12 AM

^^^^^ awesome wheels. =) so jealous.

heres mine.

im the second owner. bought it for 1000 bux from an old irish lady. 130k original miles. still runs.

just got here a few months ago. im saving up to get the body sand blasted. i would do it on my own but i dont have the tools. plus i dont know how to weld yet. =(

plans are for a ls1. with ZG flares and front lip.

also i found a company that makes coil overs for this car now.
its called Star Road.

its like 100,000 yen. not bad at all.

Irukandji · 08-26-2008, 11:21 PM

06 350z base. lsd, suspension and other essentials

MikeisNissan · 09-12-2008, 06:23 PM

I might be buying a Z33 soon. What do you guys think of this?

Volk F-Zero Challenges

Fr: 18x9.0 +45
R: 18x10 +48

I am assuming I will need spacers, how thick?
Thanks.

*silviaguy240* · 09-12-2008, 08:33 PM

at LEAST 25 for the front 20 for the rear. most Z guys are bitches and run shitty offsets but they have basically the same wheel fitment as S chassis's.

MikeisNissan · 09-12-2008, 10:57 PM

So those won't work?

*silviaguy240* · 09-14-2008, 11:35 AM

yea, not really.

MikeisNissan · 09-14-2008, 05:09 PM

What about adding 1 inch spacers?

*silviaguy240* · 09-14-2008, 06:14 PM

it would look ok. not exactly great, maybe with some bigger tires. but eh, idk. unless they are a freakin steal i wouldnt bother to much.

MikeisNissan · 09-14-2008, 06:19 PM

Yeah 245/40R18 and 285/35R18 Nitto 555s. Im thinking of going ichiba spacers. All for 1100 shipped.

*smellslikecurry* · 09-14-2008, 07:03 PM

dont do it...its really not worth it...youll have trouble reselling it as well...18x10 +20 is barely even flush

MikeisNissan · 09-15-2008, 09:59 PM

So I am an official Z33 owner..

2003 Touring at 45k

MikeisNissan · 09-16-2008, 07:27 PM

Btw whats the best Z33 forum?

*silviaguy240* · 09-17-2008, 12:26 AM

probably my350z.com, but beware, 350guys are just as bad as 240 guys. wanting the cheapest ebay knock off part, or ballers that can buy the most expensive shit.

WizardBlack · 09-21-2008, 10:57 AM

'77 280Z
Megasquirt, EDIS-6, Holset, stripped, 10-point, custom piping, aluminum dash, 17"x9" front and 17"x9.5" rear, upgraded brakes, etc.

She is getting the full resto this winter and I already have a VH45DE sitting in the shop. Gonna try to go built internals and twin turbos.

Gotta resize some images, but they're on hybridz.org as well.

EDIT: BTW, WTH is with Z33 guys? This isn't a chat thread or your personal "gauging interest" thread...
