If you look @ the rear right wheel in the picture you can see what the Q45a will do to try to level it self..

If you can't tell its parked halfway in the front of the driveway the front is even more impressive it has 6.5+ inches of give.

Hay Bud long time..

I saw the sig looks like your getting a crazzy Zcar.

I loved my 1986 300ZX it was amazing as far as handling goes..it just needed some more juice under the hood. 169 hp LOL

The Turbo only got like 196-211 HP WEAK by todays standards.

but yours should Kill all.

Hows the Bimmer going?

I'm waiting to hear back from Texasoil about some new struts. The rear left leaks a quart a month it starting to add up @ 16.00+ a quart.I wanted to get all four struts and the other 5 accumulators before installing it.. I also need to get the harness shipped from Japan.

I have the cash for the harness and most of what I should need for the new struts but am a little unsure about ordering from Japan on an auction. I signed up for an account with Rinky (Thanks Wes)but I could not find the part once my account was ready to start bidding on Yahoo Japan.. and I haven't heard back from Texasoil with prices for the struts.

As for the Suspension controller..I want to install it REALLY REALLY I just can't untill I get the harness.I would even install it with the leaky strut but I can't mod the other harness its like night and day if you compair it to the Toyota Soarer (sister to the LEXUS SC400 not sold in the USA with Full Active suspension)

Hi

I also have been toying with installing an active suspension controller. I have seen at least 4 different types at yahoo.jp. The enclosed pic is the one that I am considering.

I love the Z31s too Jeremy! To tell you the truth, I almost bought an '86 turbo Z last week. It ended up needing a bit too much work, otherwise I'd have myself a small car lot... A friend's turbo Z31 is now pushing over 300rwhp on the stock motor and he's been doing it for a year, which was my inspiration to get one an older Z as well!

Thanks for the comments on the new Z32 btw! If all goes well, it'll be arriving in 5 days! I'll make sure and post up a long thread about it once I get back.

The Bimmer is still in pieces if you can believe it. The parts are there, just been wayyyy too lazy/busy to put much thought into it. I'll undoubtedly end up scratching the project though I simply loved driving that car.

As far as the accumulators go though, there has been a great deal of discussion on recharging them yourself as of late. You should seriously look into having those pre-drilled accumulators recharged by a local shop. It'll be VERY inexpensive and should save you a few hundreds! Talk to ScottJackson or BluntSmoker (I hope I got that right)... they can hook you up on instructions as far as getting those pre-drilled and tapped accum's go!

Don't forget our deal! As soon as you get that controller installed you *have* to do a write-up about it!

Take care man and best of luck with the Q!

Corey

Wes,

I have been really busy.also I have been on dialup LOL

when I last was posting last time there was talk about how Japan keeps all the good stuff and strips it before they sell it here in the states..at least that was my thought on the subject.

How is the BAD Q ?Still have the NOS or did you gut it?

I still need that fan blade if its around..(main white engine cooling fan)

I was thinking of going electric with the fan but am unsure.I missed most of the people around here.

Have you ever tried to talk Q to a "non-Nicoion" it just don't work.LOL

Dame I love this car why couldn't the sell this instead of the G35?

I looked @ the 680 it looks great!!

i just wonder if it has speed sensitive.

I know the ASE 664 will auto adjust and lower it self as your speed increases..

Tell me when your gonna order I might order my harness @ the same time..

I'll be in So-Cal in Sept from the 3rd to the 14th.we shoud meet up I'll have my controller install by then.. I HOPE.if you buy the 680 we can swap and check eachothers out..I will email you my Phone number or Email address

Hi GreenQ45a,

My only knowledge of the active suspension adjustable height kits is from the pictures and brief descriptions given at Yahoo Auctions Japan.

I would love to find more information about this company or other companies (I have seen one other) so I could do a full comparison of the product and features prior to my purchase.

Do you know how to contact the manufacturers of the AScontroller or where we might find further information concerning their product line? I am unable to do a thorough search because my computer skills are limited.

I think there are two others (GQJay, ?) and myself in the local area with Q45a’s. I imagine it might be fun and look forward to meeting you and some of the others.

Yours truly,


MiniMan

Mr. Q45a, both myself and Ryan did a full comparison in a thread about a year ago. Try searching the archives (Infiniti General) and post up if you find anything. I gotta jet here otherwise I'd search for ya!

It's in there.

GreenQ45a,

If you're still around do you still have these pictures that were lost on this topic?
