Here's a very nice and glowing review of the 350Z from a US magazine called 'Mountain Democrat':

How about thos ecceleration numbers ... those are the best 0-60mph times that I've ever seen clocked for the car. And these guys claim to use 'electronic' timing devices ... you'd think that they'd be accurate.

 

And one not so flattering:

I thought it was pretty good, just need to fix the understeer. Too easy.

Actually now that Ive been running around for a while with the Stock wheels and Cuscos I can tell the car hesitates before going into a corner at speed with a bit of roll. The wider stance and lower profile of the wheels must hide this. A set of sways would fix it im sure. They would probabally help the stock setup as well, David are you thinking of getting some or touching your suspension?

I don't want to make too many changes at once as I find the car pretty good with 245 rubber all around ... also, I need to (or more accurately 'want' to) always take it to the track to really see how it is.

Though, I have commited myself to the Whiteline springs, which I should have fitted over the next couple weeks (well before I go to Sandown on the 14th of August). Mainly I want more from camber out of them, but after the Sandown day I will know if I need to do anymore work (and how much). If I'm still not totaly happy, then swaybars are next on my list.

I can't say how good the Whiteline setup is but on price alone if they are better than stock then they are a bargain.

You definately get a decent amount of camber from lowering, more so in the rear. Im not sure how much it is but it looks like quite a bit.

 

I keep saying - fit a set of 15mm spacers to the front and your turn-in and feel goes troppo! Highly recommended!

The rear camber is adjustable so you can set it up anyway you want even if you lower it. I'll keep the rear camber roughly as I have it right now (ie. -2deg).

How much front camber have you got from the lowering?

I remeber you mentioning it Frosty ....though, does it give you anymore front-end grip? Which is what I am aiming for.

 

Not that I'd like to bet on, but the accuracy (sharpeness) is much improved.

I can't wait to get 245's on the front - I reckon that'l make for very nice balance.

the car feels very neutral weighted f/r, and right now the only way to get a bit of oversteer is with the power - if you're moting in say 3rd, there's not enough on tap to powersteer out.

I did my time in resr engined stuff so oversteer is my preference.

When more power is on tap, the bigger fronts won't be so necessary.

Dial it in...

P.S. Don't listen to the bloke that said add Spacers - Actuall the suspension should use 40 offset..

The Cusco units are adjustable as well and they are specifically designed to work with my coilovers. So I think it would be smarter to stick with the Cusco units.

I wont as my aftermarket wheels are wider than stock and will take car of this when they are back on the car.
