All depends on your budget and what you want to do with the car. Strut/spring combo for dd will be fine. If you plan to track it alot I would go with coilovers. Basically just replace suspension arms as you budget permits.

thanks bros that shit gives me hope
i was just planning on cruising this till i could get a 240
but if i could get a clean build out if this i might as well

[pete240]

you should probably replace all the vac lines as they are probably starting to crack already. The fuel pressure regulator often goes bad on these which can turn your ride into a flaming death trap if you aren't carefull :D.

well thats helpfull youve probly saved a life

Just slam the car regardless. ;D

Tein and Stance are quite popular. I believe this site has a link to the Smokem Motorsports. They sell coilovers.

yep, pm me whenever your ready and Ill give you some quotes

baller wheels
over fenders
coils

i don't think coilovers are hard to come by for this car???

it's hard to make a z31 look rad since the bodylines, imo, are hard to work with...but jus keep searching and figure out exactly what you wanna do, and go from there. It'll eventually work itself out...and hopefully won't burn to the ground like many "project" cars that i've seen. Including mine

go do some research buddy nobody but ground control makes coilovers for the z dirty juan. The only way to run a true coilover setup is to run modified 240 coils which is quite a bit of work.... The rear shock tower needs to be reinforced and the front strut tubes need to be chopped and welded to the 240 coilover.

Didn't read this. Well, in that case, instead of spending money on a "not very popular" car, save up more money for your future 240.

Lol.

Out of curiosity, why a 300zx? It's kind of heavy. :-\


he may be thinking older like z31 not sure , the new ones are stupd heavy tho

I also heard that modding the 300z is EXPENSIVE up the booty.
