Kaveney Posted October 7, 2015 Author Share Posted October 7, 2015 Another update as I got round to fitting my Meister-R Zeta-R coilovers . Front old vs new Installed Front Front adjuster Rear old vs new Installed Rear Rear adjuster that needed some drilling of the rear brace . Have only driven it a few miles but the handling is night and day on full soft to the set up that was on it . Ride is 3-5 % more stiff on full soft vs the old set up so nice and compliant on full soft . Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaveney Posted October 12, 2015 Author Share Posted October 12, 2015 Was to low for me so jacked up the ride height a little and now happy and set with this . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Payco Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Looks about right to me. How much is it actually dropped from the stock ride height ?. I am dropped 20mm on Tein S Springs but it looks slightly lower than mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaveney Posted October 12, 2015 Author Share Posted October 12, 2015 I hod the Tein springs and it is a touch lower than that so say 22mm . Alan Looks about right to me.

Kaveney Posted November 22, 2015 Author Share Posted November 22, 2015 (edited) Small update . A few more things have turned up ready for next month . On to this weekend and a small service of oil and filter change and fuel system cleaner and engine flush . Also cleaned out the BMC air filter . And gave the MAF sensor a good clean . And to finish off some dehumidifiers . Edited November 22, 2015 by Kaveney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaveney Posted December 9, 2015 Author Share Posted December 9, 2015 Big update time . On Thursday I took the car down to Abbey Motorsport for a few parts to be done . First up was to change the old tired camber arms Old New Hardrace uprated adjustable units . Then the rear old tow arms . New Hardrace uprated adjustable units Then was the spring bucket replacement Hardrace uprated adjustable units . They replace the inboard spring bucket that are left when using true dual coilovers . New lock out camber bolts as the tracking can be undone on the original camber bolts if hitting large potholes . Then on to the old front track rod ends . New Hardrace uprated long shaft units . Then after all of the suspension changes a full tracking session was done . Next up was the Diff . The diff bush bearings were getting and were knocking and one was leaking so needed to be changed . Old units New Whiteline bushing kit Then on to the diff . The unit in the 350Z UK car is an open vicous type and the last time I did a diff oil change the unit looked a bit tired . After doing some reading the best plan for me was not a clutch type as it is still my road car so a Quaife ATB was put on order . Old Differential unit New Quaife ATB unit . Then last on the list was to change over the hi flow sport cats for some Moterdyne ART pipes . Old Cobra hi flow sport cats New Moterdyne ART pipes . Sound clip I will load up later but the car is still nice and quite and not too loud but give a good bark on full throttle . Last up was to put the car on the Hub dyno to tweek for the new ART pipes . I was not expecting that much improvement in power but the ART pipes gave a 11.5 BHP gain and 5 LB/FT gain so very good in the end . So the car is now putting out 310 BHP and around 288 LB/FT .

Bodyboarder81 Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Great number man and some quality mods ...... Be interested to see how you rate the quaife diff . Were you not tempted to put some final drive gears in as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were you not tempted to put some final drive gears in as well? This is my road car so wanted to keep the final drive and not up the in gear revs . Will give a report on the quaife diff when I get chance to drive it . Alan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy10v Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 That is a nice result, is it noticeably quicker to drive than stock now? What is the current engine mod list? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaveney Posted December 17, 2015 Author Share Posted December 17, 2015 The car is total different to drive from how I got it from stock . I did drive a rev up last week and it felt a bit flat . Engine mods are 06 air box and bmc panel filter p spacer uprev dc sport headers moterdyne art pipes milkek exhaust Alan That is a nice result, is it noticeably quicker to drive than stock now? What is the current engine mod list? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy10v Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Sounds good, any further engine mods planned? I hope to get a similar result, once I get my finger out and get the headers fitted. I keep swithering about doing cams as well, typical scope creep for a car that was supposed to stay stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
