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

Black kNight · 12-14-2009, 10:20 PM

i think in the old 350z Nismo they had the same thing

motoextreme · 12-14-2009, 11:00 PM

OK..got them off... Not so bad when the car's off the ground. Tired of climbing under this thing, I'm getting a lift and ASAP.

I have to think that played with the handling a bit.

On the bright side, this is the cheapest Mod I've done so far!

Ouch lol.

I had to work or I woulda probably meet some of you guys. Hopefully on the next one.

motoextreme · 12-15-2009, 10:24 PM

I lied...I left them on for a stiffer ride. Cant afford Coil overs so I'm going to keep adding spacers until I get that skateboard ride I've always wanted!!

That's F'd up!!!! Funny though!!! I get the douchbag award, please remove one point...oh wait, I only have one

chrisn · 01-07-2010, 02:35 AM

Just crazy......I had all three on both sides! During a drive back from downtown today I was saying to myself "WTF was someone thinking make the ride so stiff", but once again I just tacked it up to track intentions. As far as a lawsuit goes, if someone came in to a corner too hard the intended braking dip would not be there thus you would be skating on rubber. I hope someone at Nissan and more importantly NISMO is watching this thread!

Great find and thank you!

Dooble · 05-31-2012, 07:54 PM

Thanks for the heads up.. I have 3 of them on each side also.

kgreen · 12-14-2009, 11:02 PM

is there a visible difference...take pics please

nogoodname · 12-14-2009, 11:08 PM

This is just funny... Lol

also, keep them if the car ever needs a tow??

motoextreme · 12-14-2009, 11:13 PM

Front end came down a good 1/2" or so, pretty sure anyway.

nogoodname · 12-14-2009, 11:30 PM

Sell it as a lift kit.....

but seriously... its funny cuz I remember reading about this a long time ago and now you guys are just finding out its true. I wonder if this had something to do with car and driver's test of the NISMO Z being so craptacular... other than the fact the morons tested it before properly breaking it in.

motoextreme · 12-15-2009, 12:17 AM

Yeah, I feel dumb...didnt even think to look. It is funny though. That would be comedy if they ran the test that way. Curious to see how it drives tomorrow, I live in a canyon so I'll know pretty quick.

I've looked (very quickly) to see if I have these and haven't seen them. I think I'll take a better look now that I know exactly what they look like.

Is this a NISMO only thing?
