VRRacing Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 Hello. Has anyone used the Cusco Zero 3S suspension on their 350Z? Views. The car is being built as a all out track car and currently has the cheaper BC suspension. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
hensh65 Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 Pretty sure GMballistic has them, but i might be wrong. He will be along if he has Quote
KyleR Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 Lots of people here running BC's with nothing bad to say. If it's not broke, don't fix it I say Quote
VRRacing Posted January 8, 2015 Author Posted January 8, 2015 Good to know. I'll see how it goes. Aiming to get on track start of Feb give it a test. might be a little optimistic. There's a lot to do. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
RobPhoboS Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 Which BC's are on it ? As obviously if they are the road ones, they'll be set-up for a much heavier car (I'm guessing you'll have stripped out 100kg or more ?). Then again, a change of springs may do the trick. Quote
VRRacing Posted January 9, 2015 Author Posted January 9, 2015 We're also adding a cage and big wing which will add some of the weight back in. It's the cheaper of the 2 BC kits. I forget the name EC or something like that Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
Ian Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 I had zero 2s on my last Z. Brilliant piece of kit, not the lowest but very well made & the car handles brilliantly with them. I've just bought a set of the new street zero coilovers for the current z Quote
VRRacing Posted January 12, 2015 Author Posted January 12, 2015 I think once I have sufficient pennies I'm going for. The Dutch company called intrax. I liked the cut of their jib at Autosports show and I can always sell the BCs. They get good reviews too. They've even developed some fancy top mounts for the Z Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
RobPhoboS Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 Intrax usually get decent reviews, a few friends had them on their 997 GT3 RS's and CSL's, one had a bad experience though (damper broke in half back in 2009). Quote
VRRacing Posted January 12, 2015 Author Posted January 12, 2015 These things happen I guess. Difficult to comment without knowing fitment, circumstances etc. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
RobPhoboS Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 These things happen I guess. Difficult to comment without knowing fitment, circumstances etc. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Absolutely, it was a few years ago but it drove those guys (no pun intended) to Moton/KW/Bilstein/Ohlins etc. I'm sure they'd not exist any more if they made shoddy products. Since we have MeisterR on here, it could be worth enquiring at the very least on their GT1 set up.... Quote
VRRacing Posted January 12, 2015 Author Posted January 12, 2015 I looked at Ohlins, would work out at like £4k+, think if I was going to spend that kind of money I'd go for Pro Flex, added benefit of them being less than an hour down the road. They'd be slightly cheaper than the Ohlins to. Rightly or wrongly I've always seen MeisterR as a bit of a budget brand. The more I think about it the more I'm leaning towards the Intrax.

RobPhoboS Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 Worth a look: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/92120-meisterr-gt1-coilovers-opinion (I'm not affiliated of course, just good to have a read etc) I look forward to seeing what you get, and also your thoughts Quote
VRRacing Posted January 14, 2015 Author Posted January 14, 2015 Yes looks interesting. Must have missed their stand on Friday. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
MeisterR Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 Just saw this and I thought I'll chime in. The Zeta-S / Zeta-R is entry level performance. It is a good all rounder given it's price bracket. Works well all around but limited by its design. The GT1 on the other hand is a completely different kettle of fish. I almost dare to say it is the most advance suspension you can get within it's price bracket. The fact that you have engineers from Ohlins / AST coming by at Autosport and nodding their head give me extra confidence. All of the internal of the GT1 were engineered in the UK and CNC locally. We actually have a specialist 3-axis CNC machine in our workshop sole dedicated to making the seals that are used in the GT1. The GT1 were design by Black Art Design (BAD), who is responsible for a list of OEM car suspension and podium winning race car, including the only privateer car that runs in the 9 minute club at the Colorado Pike Peak event. So we are very good at vehicle dynamic and the GT1 encompass all of these experience. The major stand out point of the GT1 is the "lifetime warranty". Because we design and manufacture our own CNC seal, the damper actually will last a lifetime. So if the damper ever leak oil, even if you take it to nurburg on a weekly basis, we will rebuild it free. Not because we want to rebuild them, but the damper was engineered not to fail… we are that confident. No other damper manufacturer will give that guarantee, because no one have gone to our length to provide such an advance product. So if you thought MeisterR were a budget… time have changed. We now have the product and the technical backing to compete against some of the biggest name… such as Ohlins. You can always spend more to get more expensive suspension, but we are confident that the GT1 performance won't be beat. Jerrick 1 Quote
VRRacing Posted January 18, 2015 Author Posted January 18, 2015 Yeah I'm definitely considering them now I've looked in to it a bit. Always like to buy British if I can:) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
