Hey Guys,

 

Curious question i heard that some z's have this feature? How does it work? Also is it possible to get it added on?

 

Cheers!

iirc it was fitted to uk zeds (and US??) basically you lift the handbrake a notch to activate it and the rear suspension is stiffened. I've never used it, as I don't like the idea of how to turn it on, so can't tell you how effective it is.

So its not a switch cause i heard it was some sort of a switch!

Yes there is a switch option in the main fited to the US spec cars which also had the front shock absorbers electrically adjusted, we had a breaker in early this year with this had been retro fitted on a UK spec zed ( see pic below ) although the breaker is now gone we retained the switch and this could easily be fitted to a UK zed to operate the rear shocks that are already fitted, the fronts could also be fitted.

 

Jap spec zeds do not have the facility but again couild be retro fitted although a little more wiring involved

and the ecu control for the shock would need fitting from a UK car.

yeh, the US cars are the only ones that had it properly fitted - with a switch to operate front and rear.

 

The UK cars are a bit of a mystery as they had the Rear actuators fitted only but no evidence of them ever being wired up to activate properly. Pulling the handbrake up a notch is meant as a test procedure.

 

Imports never had them fitted.

mine came from japan and is factory fitted

Are you sure it was not retrofitted ? It was never an option for Japanese Spec cars.

no positivety factory fitted have all info.and paper work car was sourced in japan 12 mths waiting for this car

Nice. Very unusual.

wow pretty good stuff, does it make a big difference in ride comfort?

Jeff how much would it cost to retrofit one of these?

Its not on UK 94 spec, ive got two buttons were that shock absorber is and they heat my seats.

The Switch is not on any UK spec. As said, on Uk specs the actuators are only on the rear shocks and there is no switch to activate them, just the Handbrake test procedure.

The UK's never had that switch bud.

 

Oops Yowser beat me to it :)

Gives you the option of a soff or hard ride, to retrofit t a UK car would cost less as it as the rear adjustable shocks and ecu, so you only need to add two front shocks woudl expect around £300 from Nissan, and a small amount of wiring.

 

Import zed would be more expensive, needing 4 shocks, ecu and a more extensive wiring installation, woudl think £500+ for the shocks £25 for the ecu 2nd hand, not very cost effective really.
