MeisterR

Yea, should not be a problem as there are alot of adjustment for the Z. Rear arms are not required...but recommended if you don't want to chew up your tyres. But if you look at those car... they run quite a bit of camber also. Adjusting ride height is a case of jacking the car up and winding up and down the coil in most cases. But the difference between the GAZ and the MeisterR Zeta is that the GAZ is single perch, therefore you loose travel as you wind the coil down. On the MeisterR coilovers, it is a dual perch design so you wind the lower bracket UP into the damper and effectively shorten the damper. This design mean lowering the car will not loose any damper travel, and therefore retaining a good ride and avoid bottoming out the dampers.

Coilovers will be a must, and most preferably dual perch coilovers as that way you will not loose damper stroke travel when lowering. MeisterR coilovers are on specials right now at £429, and that will do that stance. The 350Z have alot of room in their suspension, so lowering the car isn't very hard. I am also working on a new specification that will change the 350Z rear to a "true" dual perch coilovers by incorporating the springs back into the dampers. This way you can adjust the ride height easily, and also separately adjust the spring pre-load if you do decide to corner weight the car.

Nope, that was a bit of a proper rare things. Since it was 2003 and there wasn't much bits out for the Z. This kit happen to be from a Brembo Engineer in America who made a prototype Brembo GT Brake System using his 350Z as the test car. If you look at the caliper, it is much larger than the standard Brembo and also uses the Brembo GT floating brake disk. Most of the 350Z in USA/Japan are not the Track/ST model, therefore they come with the ugly standard brake and not the Brembo. When Brembo NA decided to not go ahead with the production, he sold this kit out... it was design to fit under 17" wheels and was the only kit in the world. Things probably had change since then... I were going to use StopTech (again, not much choice back then), but the rear caliper wouldn't clear the wheels. So when this came up I jumped on it.... Yep, and one of the best exhaust I have ever seen and heard. Full Titanium from Y-Pipe back, and it sound immense... I might can find some old video I took of it... I have yet to hear another car that sounds better... It honestly sound very similar to a Ferrari, only the tone is a bit deeper and not as sharp.

Thanks guys.... it's a lovely get and get loads of attention back in the days... I do miss it.... and it sounds awesome!!! One of the best sounding car I have every heard. Not my 350Z, I am just saying back in the days 600bhp is consider insane power... Where 600bhp today is only normal... in some cases "STANDARD" power...

These are pictures from 2003... I just happen to dug them back up. These pictures were taken oversea in a place call Macau, which is near Hong Kong. This car was actually purchased in Japan... then DRIVEN to Veilside in Japan where they painted and installed the kit. Talk about a long time ago! I was much younger... and also much lighter back then... These were before the days of affordable coilovers and camber kits. I didn't even think I know what was the difference between camber and toe back then. 600 bhp was insane power, and 14 second quarter mile was a quick car! But that was when the tuning scene was really staring to taking off. Enjoy the pics... That car now rest in peace after a Jazz decide to not yield at an intersection and T-Bone the car... Spin the car 180 degrees and went rear end first into a concrete divider... Wasn't fast but done enough damage to write the car off. I am sure if MeisterR exist back then, I would of had loads of fun adding bits and testing with this car.

I have a few set of MeisterR Zeta Coilovers left on Clearance at £429. viewtopic.php?f=135&t=32285 A members just had to installed at DMS, you can see more details here: viewtopic.php?f=34&t=33138

Drove an M3 earlier and also had a 350Z before... Driving experience speaking, the 350Z win hands down. The M3 just don't feel like there is enough torque... that is the best way I can put it.

Barvo!!!

Yep, I'll only use Eibach or H&R spacers as it really isn't a part you want to go cheap on.

I use the Bridgestone RE050A on my GTR for a while now, pretty good tyres overall and grip extremely well wet or dry. Falken FK452 are another popular tyres, but that because it is good value for money. I have stopped using Toyo T1-R now because of the rubbish side wall on them, it seems to be so soft it dull steering response. But then the 350Z use low profile tyres, so it might be a bit better. But given the choice I would go with the Falken over the Toyo. Yep, and as Colin said: Use the same tyre type front and back in the correct size.

The way I see it, anything that isn't up to scratch can be modded or added at a later date. The long as the base is right, then the rest is simple. The 350Z is a pretty new car, so most of the bits should be functioning properly. Just make sure the car is in good condition, and you got the colour and the options that you want; the rest can be sorted later if you want to personalize your car.

I tried doing that but it didn't work for me. Nice looking bike.

Should make a difference, but the standard 350z throttle response is pretty good already. I think the original design is for car with very lazy paddle (normally Lexus)... these should see a good improvement.

I know it is expensive for what you are getting, but if you look at the price of the parts, it is understandable. The parts needs to be very strong... you can imagine how much weight land on it if your car were to get some air time then land on the ground. It also have to reliably hold up the weight of the car, and you need alot of parts to drive the system. I think air springs would be the way forward in terms of giving what people want as the range of adjustment can be much greater than hydraulic, and the cost isn't as high either. Otherwise, old fashion height adjustable coilovers with user care will works just fine.

The way the HLS kit work is that it is adding the length of the springs. This add 2 issue: 1. Changing the height using the HLS kit will change the damper stroke travel... By lowering it, you will loose damper stroke travel much like a single perch coilovers do. 2. Because the HLS kit fit into the springs section of the coilovers, it depends on how much room you have to fit the kit. You will have to use shorter springs which mean you also loose springs travel, and to to mention the springs can only be so short so you are limited in how much room you have to use. A lexus for example have MILES as their standard suspension is very long. A honda Civic on the other hand won't have any room to adapt this kit. I have been looking on some adjustable height kit, and are currently thinking about developing an "Air Spring" system to go with the adjustable damper. This way you can get the change in height you want (more than the HLS kit), but then use the adjustable damper to "tune" your ride. The long as you have enough rebound damping adjustments, you can use that to limit the body roll.

You can easily retro fit these to the MeisterR Coilovers. It will need some adjustment to the springs length and some helper springs, but it isn't very difficult. But I hope you are sitting down, that little kit from KW on its own is about £2000!!! So it isn't cheap at all for the luxury of lifting your car 35mm at a touch of a button.

Yes, DMS is a MeisterR dealer... If you are around his area I would highly recommend him installing the coilovers as he knows what he is doing and got all the gear to ensure you car will drive straight.

Thanks for the welcome guys. I will try to develop more 350Z related products to offer everyone. Always been one of my favorite car, had a 2003 one ages... Thanks to some guy in a Honda Jazz T-bone me and wrote it off. The Zeta Coilovers are on clearance at £430, just clearing the older stocks while they last. So if any member want a bargain, just let me know. I am developing the new Zeta-R so I just want to make room for the new coilovers.

KW also do something similar now call the HLS It isn't as good as the Roberuta Cup, but then it is a bit cheaper.

Thats alot of welcome very quickly. Thank you and I hope I will be able to help if anyone have any questions.

Hello Everyone, My name is Jerrick and I am from MeisterR. Some of you may have heard of us or seen a few of our sponsored cars at drifting event or in magazines in 2009. I am now a trader on the 350z-uk forum and have put up some offers in the traders section. I am happy to be here and would like to be part of the 350Z community. My expertise are in suspension so I will try to help members on this topic as best of my ability. If anyone have any questions, concerns, or suggestion, please feel free to let me know. Nice to meet everyone here and hope to see you all at a meet or a show in the near future.
