I looked on ebay again to find the guy that sells the NISMO products but I've had no luck. He sells almost all the 350Z NISMO parts: headers, suspension, sway bars, rims and cams. I can't seem to find him now and I didn't save his user name.
Figures, when I want to buy the parts he's not selling any, damn. I'll keep looking till he pops up again, his buy it now prices are extremely good.

Also, Ive been looking at the Hotchkiss bar/spring combo. It's 3 position progressive and a LOT less expensive than nismo (although no shocks included-just bars and springs). Has anyone installed the nismo kit or the Hotchkiss kit? I want to add a suspension package but need help from those who know. Thanks.

I got the suspension from nmrgarciaparra. Here is a link to the item:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...RK%3AMEWN%3AIT
I haven't seen any other ones from him, but you can try to email him. The 1350 price from Performance Nissan is not bad. I got lucky with the suspension and with the headers, but outside of luck Performance Nissan has fair prices.
Good luck!

No, the NISMO set-up is not a coil over system. It is just a spring/strut combo that is tuned just for the Z. But I am sure that the NISMO name adds quit a bit to the price.

UPDATE TO THE PRICE OF $1000 ON EBAY!
I contacted the seller today and he said he doesn't have anymore of the NISMO stuff and will never again. He said he was selling the parts for his friend that went out of business. I'm assuming he had a performance shop.
That really sucks I was just about to buy, F**K.

On the other hand I am thinking of JWT flywheel with NISMO clutch. Not sure what's next. One or the other will go down in April. All of my driving is street. I have never been to the track--yet.

I am having a problem with my NISMO flywheel right now where I seem to have lost 17hp in my latest dyno. I am trying to work it out and will dyno again next week. The NISMO flywheel is noiser than stock, the revving is faster but a bit rougher. The car sounds like an 18 wheeler diesel truck when you are idle and standing outside listening to it. Looking back, I wish I hadn't done it. I would have much rather spent that money on some NISMO side skirts.

Yeah, I am going to stick with your remarks--NISMO S tune supension & sways for me. My 17" wheels will "look" like 18" wheels. Thanks for your comments; much appreciated, rich
