I'm gathering parts for improvements I'll be making to the 2003 Z project that I picked up earlier this year.
Today I found a pair of new Nismo rear springs locally on FB Marketplace that will go on the '03. I already put Nismo springs and shocks on my '05 some years ago and really like the feel of the suspension that way.



I still need to find a suitable engine to go in the '03, but there are a lot of projects stacked up ahead of it right now.

 

Awesome find khnitz! Those look brand new! Hope you got a good price, those aren't S-Tune right? Those are OEM Nissan P/Ns?

Also, I believe it was thanks to your input some years back that pushed me in the direction of using the B6s with the Nismo Coils. I'm really happy with that combination. Only other mod to the suspension I might consider is adding the Whiteline sway bars.
Cheers!

Yeah, they seem brand new and OEM Nismo parts - the plastic seal is still intact on the bags for the springs and they are totally clean with no paint defects or dirt. I paid $50 for the pair

That's good to know that the B6's are working well! If I can't find Nismo shocks, I'll go the B6 route, too

 

Those are not Z springs, at least not for the rear.
Both S-tune and OEM Nismo use dual rate springs

 

Double checked, it's a Z34 spring

 

OK, so to confirm your meaning: they are Nismo rear springs from the 370Z, like as listed in the installation instructions here?

Now I need to double-check, but that should be what I have on my '05 currently, as well.

 

Yes, but you shouldn't use that spring on a Z33. Nismo chose a dual rate for a reason.

 

Thanks for the detail. I'll double-check what's on my '05 now (dual rate or not) and report back on what I have. Whatever it is has been working great for me for the last ~5yrs since I put them on.

 

Got a Talon Rack for the bike. These things work great.
