I have read some threads stating that the suspension (shocks/springs) was changed between 2006 and 2007. Can anyone verify this? Are the part numbers different?

I am also wondering if the suspension on the upcoming 2007Nismo 350Z is identical to the S-tune Nismo suspension currently available. I know we may not know that one for a while though... I am looking to put the S-tune on my car, but would hate to find out a version tuned specifically for the 07 came out.

Shocks were changed for 06. Though since all relavent change's have alway's been documented and mentioned in public by Nissan it's hard to say if any real chang in tune was made from the 04.5+ shock revision to 06 shocks changing part numbers. Springs are still the same one's used since the 04.5 suspension revision.

Road & Track does have a small mention about the 07 Nismo special addition car. It mention's that the shocks are specially made for the car by,..."Yamaha", which I find really odd since I had no idea they've ever had their hand in car suspension's, could be totally wrong though. If that's the case, I find it hard to believe that it's suspension will be sold as seperate parts, let alone as a dealer installed add on.

Beyond what was said above on the 07 special addition Nismo Z, all current oem shocks and the Nismo S-tune shock and spring setup are of course made by Tokico. Their is NOTHING about you 07 that would prevent you from buying and installing a S-tune suspenison and you not loving it like so many other Z33 owners have said and done since 2003.

 

Thanks for the response. I have read a lot of your posts regarding suspension issues, and want to thank you for your contributions. I think I am going to start out with the S-tune and re-evaluate from that point.

As for the Nismo Z, I thought the "shocks" that they were referring to were the body dampeners (for lack of a better term) that were made by Yamaha.
