Nicely Done! Id like to see more pics and hear more stats too!

Whats the ride like? obv stiff, but is it ok?

What are the specs on the wheels? Tires?

That gauge pod is pretty cool too - whats its for? what mods is it monitoring? or is it just for show?

Overall, cool a$$ car man - keep up the Good WeerK

Daniel, i see with the money i gave you for the edfc you went and got the springs.


So you figured out how to tap into the ECU to plug in the A/F gauge.

Very nice, you gotta tell me how u were able to do it, you called me and i didnt know.

Very nice

The springs he went with are a bit stiffer then oem.

Tanabe GF210 Series 350Z
Spring rates in lbs 336/375
Stiffer then oem springs by F+7% R+10%
Transfers +3% roll stiffness to rear

I'll go out on a limb and say that at best ride quality will be simular to oem, bumps that would normally be felt will feel a bit more sharp. But the oem shocks don't have much leeway in regard to adding stiffness, sensation will be that you don't have quite enough rebound control that will show up more as speeds increase. Aftermarket shocks are a good idea even on oem springs, more so when you go stiffer. Since the springs will drop a Z 1"/1.2", they should drop a G coupe around 1.5"/1.7" , meaning aligning back to oem specs is not in the card's without aftermarket alighnment parts.

The ride is significantly poorer than the OEM springs of course especially at high speeds on the freeway.. but its not too much to handle.

The Gauge is an A/F gauge that is just for show :P
Actually RASHMAN, i didnt hook it up to the A/F sensor yet. but i know how to do it now. it's just powered on by ignition for now.

The Wheels are 19" RO_JA Formula 7's. 19x8.5Front 19x10's Rear.

Thanks for lookin. :-D will post some more pics from different angles soon.

Nice man, I got the same rims but in silver. Their not on yet I still need tires. What kind of spacer did you go with for the front rims out of curiosity? Looks great!
