Coil overs or nismo struts

What do you not like about your current handling? Truthfully, “better” handling means different thing to different people.

I like the handling but concerned with the increase
In hp I might need to beef up the suspension. The nismo diff in general going to
A higher ratio with the stock suspension.
I read in this forum with a stiffer suspension the car will launch better and come
Off the turns better

Ditch the Nismo sway bars and get a Hotchkis front bar. The Nismo coilovers are over dampened for the springs. A good set of coilovers like the Forture 500 and the correct springs will do wonders. Change the upper front control arms so that you can adjust the camber and caster. The SPL arms are the only way to go. As you don't have to remove the arms to make adjustments. Plus they hold the adjustment too.

Get your Z aligned with these spec's.
Front camber -2, caster +6, toe 1/16" in.
Rear camber -1.75, toe 1/16" in.
This will give you a good handling Z without eating up the tires.

Brakes. The 'bono's are a good caliper. Just need good pads, stainless lines and good brake fluid. Most use the Motul 600. I use Castol SRF fluid. It's $$$

You got the Z1 400HP package. To get the most out of it. You have to ditch the Nismo exhaust too. High flow cats, test pipes or LTH's are the way to go. Otherwise, you got a cork in the exhaust.

Thank you
This is good information

Did you get an OEM Nismo diff? If you did, the VLSD isn't very good in it. After they get hot, or get some mileage on them. They don't function well. They open up like an open diff. A maintenance free LSD is the Wavetrac. If you want to spend a little more, Get the OS Giken LSD. It's among the best.

Yes I bought a nismo diff from a junkyard from a nismo 7at with 12k on it.
The diff looks great and it came with a 1 year warranty

Thxs for the advice
Adjustable arms are in the plans but not immediately

Are you saying the z1 package won’t be has effective with the nismo cats.
Cause if that’s the case I won’t install until I find a better suited cat back
