You are more man than I am. I wimped out and bought a racecar.

You might consider some other options than the JIC coilovers. Almost every serious tracker, which it looks like you are, has either taken them off or wishes they could afford to. Rest of the list looks spot on though. I like the fire suppression choice too. Especially like the data logger.

 

I would rather have a Diasio (SP?) believe me. I am actually switching back to the JICs. I had them, then I switched to Tien Flex w/EDFC for the in-car adjustability and now I want back into the JICs. What system would you suggest? I have always had an extinguisher mounted to my roll bar, but after watching a Lotus Elise burn to the ground a few weeks ago I decided I should take the next step up lol.

 

Looks like a fun project. Hope all goes well.

 

I have just joined the totally gutted club as well. Daily driving is NOISY as hell, but hey, the plastic needed to be cut anyways to make way for the roll bar.

350ZNV, is that a Kirk Racing roll bar i see? Nice choice. Mine should be here shortly as well!

 

Yes it is! Welcome to the club!

 

I'm no suspension expert, but, I had really good luck with the Tein Basics. One of the best off the shelf spring rates for the Z and dampening is really well mated to springs. Super cheap. I ran faster than most of the guys with the $2700 Koni/Truechoice setup. Another possibility is the NISMO. It has fared very well in tests. No adjustability though. Those are the only two I can verify that work better. There are a lot of disappointed customers of the Truechoice setup. Lots of guys with Koni yellows and various springs, but its kind of hit or miss with that. Really no good solutions right now. So maybe you should just stick with the JIC's. I might start a thread in the track section to find out what everybody is using. It might be interesting. Although, I think someone did something similar not too long ago.

 

^^^ I haven't tried the Tien Basics, but the Flex's werent as stiff as the JICs. Oh well, we will see.

 

I think the problem with the JIC's is the progressive spring. Maybe you can find a replacement linear spring.

Here's Performance Nissans JIC spring list.
