Tein Super Streets
Yeh has height and damper adjustment, but the height adjustment is not independent unlike more expensive coilovers. Which means as you adjust the height the springs become more compressed. If your interested in using the car on the track then I would take a look at the SPL Coilovers. http://www.splparts.com Higher spec, better quality and a good price. Very highly regarded in the states by a lot of regular track day users and SPL are the Masters of 300zx Racing.

Christ the Evo guys hate the 300ZX!
330ci is a good second slower to 60 and slower the faster you go.....it would give an NA a good run for its money though.

Tein Super Streets
The superstreets are softer than the Flex and other tein versions. They dont have independed height adjustment (height will affect spring rate) but other than that they are not bad for the road.

mph per 1000 rpm in 5th gear?
Thats coz the speedo would normally be wrong if you had the right tyres but you've fixed it by fitting wrong tyres :rofl:

Difference between 068 and 088 batteries?
Confusing. I was under the impression 068 was the standard size replacement and is what most people must have. My battery is just 184cm x 79mm x 169mm and definatly not the right size for battery tray, so I dont even keep it in the engine bay lol

mph per 1000 rpm in 5th gear?
May need to include the lip and/or curvature of the tyre..etc . Im not sure. Its not something I made up though lol, its just basic tyre terminology http://cheaptireguide.com/tire-section-width-and-sidewall-aspect-ratio/ http://www.tyresafe.org/news-and-events/detail/unscrambling-the-tyre-sidewall-symbol-mystery/ http://www.bankrate.com/brm/news/auto/20050630b1.asp http://www.tyres-online.co.uk/techinfo/aspect_ratio.asp http://www.farmerautocare.com/help_tyresize.php ..etc..etc

New Parts
Front upper Camber Arms Front tension rod Arms Rear Camber Arms The front is more important than the rear as the rear has some adjustablity in it,depending on how low you go. If you fit Eibach springs, then you should'nt need the rear cambers arms, Eibachs drop by about 20mm, not as much as you want but they are great springs - Progressive (soak up small bumps and firm up when cornering hard) with really good spring rates and a great match for the KYB AGX shocks. Stillen adjustable ARB's are a great bit of kit, and include new bushes. As well as making the car corner much flatter they also allow you to adust understeer and oversteer characteristics. The Above setup will transform the car, it will feel a lot lighter and more chuckable with quicker reactions, more grip and a flatter cornering and ride quality wont suffer either. The KYB's are adjustble to suit your preferences from smoother than stock to the odd track day capability. Get yourself a set of Polyurethane steering rack bushes too.

Auto box cafuffles...
Speed sensor not working will cause autobox problems. It can be worth changing the oil if its not been done recently too, and drop the sump pan of the box and clean out the filter. If its an Import do you have a bigger autobox oil cooler fitted, if not, they really do need one.

mph per 1000 rpm in 5th gear?
btw 235/45/17 is the wrong tyre profile for a Zed, it should be 235/40/17

mph per 1000 rpm in 5th gear?
I just popped outside and quickly measured a stock zed wheel - 245/45/16 and it came out at just over 10cm on my crappy kids 15cm ruler.

Postmans just been........:D
Nice one, wont be long now then :) I had an accident once where I lost a wheel. I clipped a kerb on one of those island things in middle of road at just 45mph and the wheel snapped and came off! and I ended up down a ditch. Never did find the wheel or tyre, me and this policewomen looking for ages for it. All that was left was the centre part of the wheel were it bolted to the hub.
-
mph per 1000 rpm in 5th gear?
no, it is the actual height of the sidewall as a percentage of the tyre width 235/45/17 sidewall height is 105.8mm (10.5cm)
-
is it true that????
Its holds the gear to the rev limiter instead of changing earlier.
