*Very* nice. Curious about the weight, especially the F/R balance after this is all done. I'm sure you are too...

They're just shy of $10,000 for the 2009 GT-R. Obviously best for a track dedicated car. You'll be hating life driving with those on the street everyday.

Drool....looking good! We are working up the spring rate package now, and gas pressure levels before installing them on the car.

For those of you unfamilar with JRZ, they are one of the top tier motorsports shocks/coilovers in the industry. JRZ, Moton, Penske all travel in the same circles and tracks. The entire GT2 podium at last year's 24hr of Daytona race were running JRZ suspension systems. It's the top of the top stuff. The triple adjustables you see pictured are $9300 for the set.

The good news, is that that JRZ is almost done with development on some mainstream coilover systems that will be head and shoulders above the typical stuff you see on the market, at a more mainsteam price point as well. Stay tuned for more on this.

If JRZ were to make a shock in the price range of the KW's I would be willing to bet they would blow the KW's out of the water. I have run on KW 3 way race shocks which are supposed to be the "equivalent" to the JRZ 3 ways and I can tell you from firsthand experience that it's not even funny how much better the JRZ's are. I would only assume if JRZ were to make a coilover in the $2K range that it would be the best $2K coilover available period. It will be interesting to see what they come up with

Thanks Ryan for that info but that begs the question, if JRZ is making a more "mainstream" adjustable coilover, is it likely to be in the 2K price range or are we looking at more? (Or is it too soon to tell?)

Are you sure that 350Z diff and 370Z diff are identical?

It seems that there are different flavors of R200 diff...

Here we go with two OEM Nissan figure:

350Z (manual or automatic trans is tha same, only the ratio is different)




370Z (manual or automatic trans is the same, only the ratio is different)



From the images and parts numbers, we can see that 370Z diff comes with 4 satellites..... 350Z with only 2 satellites...

The other components seem to be more or less the same, but not EXACTLY the same...

At the end...

Are we sure that aftermarket 350Z ring-pinion couple (4.08, 3.9 etc..) fits 370Z?

Thank you very much to everyone giving his opinion or sharing his own personal experience, bye!
