Dipper Posted April 4 Author Share Posted April 4 (edited) Staying on the rear suspension I managed to pick up some "air lift performance dampers" from Ebay. Apparently they are made in the same factory as Bc racing. And they are 30 point damper adjustable which was what I was after. Dampers fitted to the rear. And off for an alignment. The eccentric bolts on the spring buckets/arm were seized however. (Literally the only bolts I didn't replace, typical) so the camber is a little out untill I can get that replaced.

Dipper Posted April 4 Author Share Posted April 4 I also took the time get the height right on the rear adjusting the new coilover set up. Front probably needs to come down a little more. But it also meant I was able to get up the ramp to get it aligned a bit more easily. So maybe a blessing. Also the big news. Got the modified and refreshed wheels back. So happy with them. Ultamotive did a great job with them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So after waiting a while for some more parts to be delivered. I don't some BC damper extenders. They aren't a exact match to the Air Lift Performance dampers, so took some modifications. To file down the diameter to fit the caps on the BC adjusters. For reference for the 350z go foe the smallest size adjusters, like 100mm or something. I had to trim mine down considerably. Which was a faff. Anyway fully adjustable and fitted now. Glad to be able to make the ride softer for long journeys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dipper Posted Monday at 12:07 Author Share Posted Monday at 12:07 Mad to take a step back and look at the stack of rusty parts taken off the car this previous winter. Almost don't want to throw them away. Tempted to maybe get them blast and powder coated to have as spares. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's next? Good question! Not really sure. To be honest. I need to sort a few small things like getting the number plates mounted properly. Getting the coilovers sitting at the right height and adjusted. I also have to replace some seized camber bolts on the rear spring buckets. To make the alignment spot on. I'd love to get the front bumper filled and smoothed. And the front left arch is showing some rust. So that's probably in the long list. I'd also love to get some reclining bucket seats Installed. The drivers seat is a bit worn and I'm not a massive fan of the seats it came with. Mine is non gt spec. So I don't have power or heated seats. So I've less to loose fitting aftermarket. I'm sure il think of more things also. The list is never done. Edited Wednesday at 10:35 by Dipper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
