Success, all the bolts are loose. To get the rear bolt out do I need to remove the bracket holding the camber arm to the body, no matter how much wiggling the bolt won't come out. Cheers

Shocks are off already but there is rubber bushes built into the camber arms. As long as I heat the nut and not the arm I assume I'll be ok?

How hot do I need to get it? Do I try and loosen it as soon as I take away the heat? Sorry for the dumb ass questions but not needed to use heat before

Cheers guys, tension rod is off but the camber arm won't budge! Due to the position of it you can't get a socket on it so its a spanner job, which my extension bar is useless on. Apart from brute force and ignorance not sure what to do LOL.

hi everyone, Doing the suspension and I can't get some of the bolts off. Tried WD40 and extension bars but still no joy. Anyone got any tips on getting them off? It's the tension rod bolts on the bottom arm and the upper camber arm bolt nearest the inner wing that's being a pain in the ass. Cheerz, Rob

I dont like the bodykit mate. Just my opinion of course.

Cheers buddy, I'm led to believe it's an Ab Flug wing. Not seen another one like it so it stands out from the crowd. I'll get the updates ASAP for ya mate.

WTF is going on with that bodykit???????? Honking!

Considering the 350Z needed a new battery I didn't hold out much hope for the 20 year old Zed............. However it started on the first turn of the key with no p1ssing about. To say I was amazed is an understatement LOL

Hi everyone, This week is suspension week LOL. I have a set of KYB AGX shocks with Eibach springs, DW front and rear upper camber arms and front tension rods to go on. With a 20mm drop from the shocks is this going to drastically adjust the settings from standard? I.e. do I set all the arms to standard length or can I add in a turn or 2 on the threads to get them in the ball part before going for full laser alignment? On the front camber arms do the longer side go towards the front or rear of the car. How tight should the locking nuts be on all the arms, I've seen that they can break if overtightened. I think thats it for now LOL. Will add pics as I do the work. Rob

350Z as the daily driver and the 300ZX as a driveway ornament at the mo! 300Zx will become the daily driver when I move back to the UK.

Hi all, After a bit of advice please. The Zed is getting a set of KYB AGX shocks with (what I believe) eibach springs fitted. I've got DW front and rear camber arms and front tension rods to go on too. Has anyone got any info on rough adjustment required before going for 4 wheel alignment please? Reason is I don't know of a place in Germany that does it so may have to drive to England before its done. Many thanks, Rob

RNAS Yeovilton mate. Get back from the middle east on tuesday and plan to drive the zed back to the uk on the 20th for the mot and turbos. Will fly back to germany and come back in the new year to start work on the 9th jan

Zed's in Germany at the mo, coming back in it on the 20th Nov and leaving it there till the new year. Been out the UK 5 years now so yeah, looking forward to it.

Hi there all, As long as the RAF keep their side of the deal I will be home in 6 days. :yes::yes: Got a few jobs to do to the Zed before bringing it home for the turbos to replaced and MOT'd ........... New KYB AGX suspension Driftworks adjustable arms Fit big brakes Uprated radiator Uprated oil cooler Replace exhaust New battery and connectors Fit boost controller Hard pipes Powder coated plenum and polished throttle bodies. The list goes on as I'm sure theres stuff I've forgotten LOL Rob

Ah ok cheers Chris

Cheers guys, Richard, done the PM thing, thanks anyway though. Rob

Hi there all, As the title really, I need to get in touch with him ideally before I get back. If anybody can give him a nudge for me it would be really helpful. He should know what its about. Cheerz, Rob

I've served 9 years in the Army mate, firstly to do the training you need to eat correctly and toast is not the way to go. You need to eat a proper balanced diet of real meals. No need for energy drinks, water is fine and a coffee an hour before training is very good due to the caffeine. In terms of times etc I dont know your age so the entry standard may be different to what i need to get. The trick for the test is endurance, you need to do the test relatively easy so you need to training over distances of +4 miles a time, if you can do this at 80% heart rate then you will find the test easier. There is a lot on google for improving and im sure the army gives you a guide on how to improve prior to turning up on day 1. If you want more advice mate let me know. But interval training is the way to go. I sprint 100 meters, jog 200 meters for a total of a minimum of 3 miles.

Bought all the above bits today, all 500 quid of it !!!!!!!!!! Looking forward to getting home and getting dirty, only 2 weeks to go now. Think it will look ok when fitted, got the KYB's to go on and uprated brakes. Look out for pics soon

Cheers guys, coming back for a couple of briefs and to drop the car off with Jimmer to work his magic. Got a few weeks in Germany to get the car ready for an MOT.

Hi there all, I have been posted back to the UK and will be working at RNAS Yeovilton. Official start date is 9th January 2012 but have to report there for a couple of briefs over a couple of days this side of xmas. Really looking forward to it and can finally after 3 years attend some meets. See you all soon, Rob

One of the ends on the rear camber arms don't seem to be. Need to have a look at the joint on the car I think.

Hi there all, Going to buying some DriftWorks suspension parts and have a question. Does anyone know if they come with replacement bushes or are the old OEM items reused? I'm getting front and rear camber arms and front tension rods. Cheers, Rob
