While the turn in on the 04 Touring is quick, I'm looking for go-cart like handling, wicked fast turn in, any suggestions?
Thanks

 

coilover system

 

buy an s2000...
the Z's weight and size will not make it as wickedly fast as an s2000...
check out the weight thread in Motorsport section!
i got coilovers and i think the turn in is as electric and direct as it gets with a 350Zed but it still doesnt feel as nimble as an s2000...

 

Sway bars, light weight rims with better performance tires, and a new lsd.

 

You should install very stiff sways & springs... on a Lotus Elise

 

lower it and take advantage of the natural camber gain. lower profile tires help too. i dunno, thats how mine is set up and i have to peel my face of the window if i crank it hard, lol.

 

Nah, Buy an Elise !

 

A delightful range of responses... thank you all. Other than purchasing another car, might I ask two questions. What is a coilover and what kind of money are we talking for swaybars and/or this coilover?
Thanks...

 

well that too...
but if one were to have 2 cars ... i'd buy an elise and have a daily driver
if one were to have only 1 car and track often i'd buy the s2000 (more civil than elise)
and lastly if one were to have only 1 car and track occasionally... get the 350Zed !

Practical speaking...
Ariel Atom = 0/10, Elise = 1/10, S2000 3/10 and 350Z 5/10, BMW M3 8/10
Whoever disagrees with my scale can die hahahaha

 

Coilover = adjustable suspension upgrade.. where you can tune height adjustment and dampening adjustment individually based on what kind performance you are looking for...
Good ones you are looking at around $1700-2500USD new (JIC, HKS etc)

Sway bars vary from hollow to solid... (hollow bars a la Hotchkis are cheaper)
Front/Rear package goes from 300+ship and up

and btw my JICs were suffering from understeer on soft setting in the rear and after i put it 10 clicks towards stiff in rear and upped from 5 clicks stiff to 10 click stiff in front... the rear became alive and well controlled!

The ability to adjust suspension is a great thing
Coilovers will make your car handle like its riding on rails

 

You guys are terrific, thanks for the advice. By the way, my other car, one of my other cars, is an NSX. It is a pretty staggering piece of machenery...

 

why are you trying to take turns faster in your z then. just drive the nsx...

 

I have to tell you, the Z, in its stock form, turns in a quickly as my NSX and with just a little less body roll. There are some wonderful similarities between the two cars. If I needed to get somewhere really fast, I'd take the NSX, but considering the tremendous price disparity, the Z stands up very well!
