The perfect coilover suspension is hard to find as some people want comfort, some want handling and some want to go drag racing. We looked for the perfect all rounder and we think we found it for our Nissan Z Proto.

Nice, I put silvers coilovers on my RZ34. Night and day difference.

Very happy with my Shockworks coilovers for my JZZ30 Soarer 1j.. Chris did a great job fitting and road tuning them around the hills in Melbourne. I was so pleasantly surprised, they ride so smoothly, but also handle when needed.

Perfect direction to go, bringing coilovers to the Z to match the good engine. I think extra stiffness all round and stronger sway bars should make it more balanced on track.

@aidanhayes6101 5 ай бұрын

What were the F&R spring rates they gave you? The Z needs a stiffer front end to reduce the body roll causing the push. MCA use a 14-17kg (cant remember exactly) up front stock sway bar. On my 370z i run 10kg swift spring and koni yellow with whiteline sway bar up front on soft setting (has 2). Shock set to 75% firm up front. Anything less and turn in not as sharp. Setup for street Targa. 0 understeer

Car sounds great! Hopefully you address cooling next. I remember you running extensive turbo tests, stock vs twin vs single. Would it be possible to review stock air to water vs upgraded air to water vs air to air.

@MKI4EVA Жыл бұрын

How warm was the air temp on the day? With suspension handling didn't seem that good. Was there a proper alignment done? Is 106 oil temp bad? the hot hatches run up to 127 degrees.

Factory suspension probably tailored towards better roads as well. Our roads aren't the greatest, even sandown raceway had lots of bumps that required better rebound and softer suspension. I have my Teins modified by shockworks to accomodate our roads.

Nice to see the development of the Z coming along. Epic laps on the track. Maybe could have winded the car out a little bit more through the rev range. Either way epic video

Power falls over. No need to rev harder and often better to short shift and use the torque

Squatting isn’t beneficial for drag racing. You want the rear suspension to extend on throttle to drive the tires down into the pavement.

@MotiveVideo Жыл бұрын

The car has IRS. Weight transfer to the rear is exactly what you want.

@@MotiveVideo I think experienced drag racers would argue that.

@yourmotherlovesit Жыл бұрын

@@MotiveVideo I get the weight transfer part, you can achieve that with 90/10 valving on the front. If you are trying to squat, you are wasting energy. The wheels are not pressing down, they are more trying to move away from the road.
