Nismo Z Suspension: All Nismo 370Z Owners Check Here FIRST!

Bodytechz · 03-28-2011, 10:59 AM

WOW, I am so glad I checked out this thread! I'll be damn sure to check out my car when I get home tonight after work! I just got it on 03/26/11 and was thinking that it rides pretty stiff, now I'm wondering if this issue is the reason why. I'll let everyone know soon!

Well, I did check when I go home last night and YES I found them installed (1 on each front) and removed them. Not sure I noticed a big difference in ride though...

Crazy4Z · 04-16-2011, 05:07 PM

Does anyone know if the Sports Package has these same brackets on the springs that need to come off?

No, only the Nismo has them because of its low front fascia.

Hello Z Fam! Ever since I was a kid I've wanted two cars, a Porsche 911 Turbo and a Z. I finally took delivery of my 2011 370Z Nismo in Gun Metallic about 3 weeks ago...and I don't care if I ever get the Porsche! Been reading the board for a few days now and finally joined last night. I'm traveling and don't get back home till Sunday and the very first thing I'm doing is checking for these little bastards! Thanks for the heads up! I'm lovin the cars and the discussions on here, and am stoked about being a part of this movement. Looking forward to meeting some SoCal Z people very soon. Cheers!

Crazy4Z · 05-20-2011, 03:24 PM

What little bastards are you referring too? And im from LBC. Welcome!

Cuban Z · 05-20-2011, 05:34 PM

Thank you Crazy4Z. The shipping spacers that started this thread (see 1st page).
I hit the LBC for work about 2-3 times a month. Do you know if there are any meetups around our way? I'd love to run with a bunch of other Zs and hang out. Can't wait to run mine through the mountains up this way.

They have the Cerritos Meet. I forgot when they go but if you go to the regional forum you can find the guys on there to meet up. I havent gone yet. I usually work on the days they have the meets. So yea. If anything I would try to go with them on the cruise in the canyons I havent yet. I only go by myself and went to Mullholland twice already. Its fun. When I had my Evo I use to go to different canyons with the socalevo guys in long beach. But ever since I got the 370z I just go with a friend or by myself to drive.

Where you from?

Cuban Z · 05-21-2011, 03:38 PM

Jersey...ha ha...North Jersey, right across the river from Manhattan.
I'm down with that...let me know when you want to go.

Crazy4Z · 05-22-2011, 06:31 AM

I ment where in cali.

Cuban Z · 05-22-2011, 10:59 AM

Santa Monica...only been here a year, still not used to being from here...

Crazy4Z · 05-22-2011, 02:23 PM

Dont worry youll get use to it. I lived in Upstate NY for about 5 years. Visited Jersey and NY city several times..... omg I hate the streets. Bad for the car.

Picked up my NISMO QAB yesterday, damn this thing rides harsh I thought! I figured what the heck, I'd get used to it. I read this post and went out to check the front and rear shocks!

Those nasty little shock spacers, two on each coil are on the front shocks!

I will take the car to the dealer on Monday to have them taken off and noted on file just in case I have any issues with the suspension in the future.

Boy am I glad I read this post!

Thanks G.
