great car man. where nw london ru?

hi mate quick question... i am looking to purchase nismo suspension for my car, is the NISMO shock absorber and spring kit listed on the page below the same as yours? nismo suspension Does anyone have experience with this suspension? darren

its on the official japanese nissan 350z site, theres a history section with videos of all the old zeds. its not a 99 spec advert, its a general 300zx history thing.. http://www.nissan.co.jp

the vq35de in the 350z was developed by nissan and is derivative of the engine in the maxima 3.5 (kinda like how the z31 and z32 engines are loosley related). the renault vel satis was first to market with the engine but it was a nissan design. The renault deal has brought a lot of cross component sharing with the micra, primera and commercial van floorplans and engines but not much else. the nissan FM platform (350z skyline 350gt/infinity g35, fx35, murano etc) is not shared with any renault. also the nissan gtr is an all nissan design. i think you will find while renault has a 51% stake in nissan, most of it is non voting stock, and renault simply reap the benefits of increased share price and dividends. what they did was plant carlos ghosn in nissan to turn it around. all credit to him though, otherwise nissan may have closed shop. forgetting the 350z engine, no one can deny its an excellent drivers car, outhandling cars that cost so much more. but i have a thing for silvias!

dude i'm up for it

silvia s15 spec r aero all the way... i was going to get one before the zed! i drove one JDM s15 in aussie a couple of years ago abnd a non turbo varietta hard top convertible in thailand, the silvia was great, aluminium body great looks and the awesome SR20DET motor!!! excellent car! not many 4 pots are better than an sr20det. the 350z is great too though, its a tough choice but it would be s15 for me.

hi guys i was told by Apex Performance that the Nismo subframe bushes for the 200sx and 300zx are the same, is this true? if so i will order them and have my whole rear nismo bushed! darren

apex as in the 200sx specialists? thanks do u have the number for driftworks?

thanks for your help mate. so you have purchased nismo, not poly subframe bushes? i dont see nismo subframe bushes listed on conceptz but if i email him, will he be able to get them for the z32? and how muc are they? thanks darren

there is a nismo s-tune suspension kit FOR the 300zx, as there are brake pads etc... s-tune doesnt refer to a car in particular. http://www.japanparts.com has some nismo z32 stuff you might want to look at. also, what work needs to be done to fit lmgt4's to a z32? i was planning to get a set!

mjp doesnt have nismo subframe bushes...

hey guys i have just received nismo bushes for the rear of the car: Rear Control Arm Bushing: 55000-RS580 Rear Axel Bushing: 55152-RS520 Rear Strut Upper Bushing: 56217-RS580 Rear Strut Bushing: 56218-RS580 Nismo Differential bushing set: 55401-RS590 NISMO 300ZX/Z32 Upright Bushing / Shock 56219-RS580 Does anyone know where I can get genuine Nismo subframe bushes from? I cannot find them anywhere! Also, are there any bushes at the rear I'm missing? darren

i tried them, they dont seem to have the continental anymore, they did last week. event tyres tell me continental are out in the UK till 3rd week august! surely someone must have one! also is it safe to mix different tyres? if i cant get a conti, what else is recomended?

is this near the target roundabout? if it is i always do those manouvres there i live in harrow, i go through there a lot...

damn i was looking for the wrong size :) thanks mate.

hi guys i need one rear tyre for my car, currently a continental contisport n1 245/40/zr16 i found a few 2 weeks ago on the internet and on froogle, but today its as if they have been wiped off the face of the earth! I cant even search for the tyre size anymore let alone the tyre itself! does anyone know where i can get such a tyre? Or where I can get that size tyre?! thanks darren

hi mate where in the states did you get your S-Tune suspension? have you fitted it yet? if so how is it? I visit the states on business quite often so I would like to get some goodies from there too!

ok, so with r33 brembos and/or 350z brembos i will need atleast 17s? will neither of these work with stock uk TT wheels (16s)?

erm, even with R33 gtr brembo brakes? as far as i know, the r33 gtr didnt come with 18's, the r34 did.

sorry to hijack, but just to confirm, r33 gtr brembo brakes will fit under stock uk twin turbo wheels?

whens this issue coming out?

do u know much about osx?

jeez vista kick osx's arse! that can never happen, osx is the best desktop OS available today with its unix foundation and advanced technologies. vista only touches the surface of what osx can do. besides osx leopard will be out when vista comes out then we shall see... jeez i think i talk like that because i used to work for apple!

its all about motul 300v chrono

hi guys, just a quick question, i have a uk 1992 twin turbo z32. i was in the states last month and purchased a set of 6 ngk/nissan PFR6B-11B spark plugs from courtesy nissan. when i removed my original plugs i found them to be PFR6B-11C. i have read that the 11c is the uk spec plug, why use different plugs in the US and UK? what are the differences? finally and more importantly, is it ok to have put the '-11B plugs in my car? thanks darren
