I need new tie rods I think, I get a loud pop and the wheels shift when I fully turn my wheels. Do the aftermarket 300zx tie rod ends work with the G50?

with the s14 coilovers dont you need to do more of a conversion?

Lastly, which route would you recommend i go ?

JIC and Insurance are about your most cost effective options if you want a bolt in coilover setup. even then If you buy them new you're in the 2000-2500. dollar range.

I wanted to have even more options so i did the s14 conversion. I'll be installing coilovers and eventually running a bag over/coil suspension setup.

I cant recommend one over the other. I do know that adjustment capabilities are in my opinion better with the conversion.

What did you do about the front sway bar when you converted to an S14 suspension since it attaches to the strut?

Post by **sessionsg50** » Thu Sep 04, 2008 9:45 pm

I have a modified Z32 Tein FLEX for my G50.

Post by **SanDY33go** » Sat Sep 06, 2008 5:11 am

I'm rolling on UAS with stock shocks...imma cop some coilovers to upgrade to coil+UAS bag suspension and slam it even more when my stock struts are done.

Post by **burgy240** » Sat Sep 06, 2008 1:47 pm

found out I just need to bore out the caliper mounting holes and I am set with the y32 Coils into my Y33. I may be trading the whole set up for UAS though...

Not runnig the sway bar. Thats one of the phase two mods I'll eventually get around to. Car still handles well and although I know it probably doesnt perform as well by virtue of the fact that I removed the factory sway bar, I rarely drive it agressively enough to require the serious sway bar that came from the factory.

Cats are maybe two inches off the ground. Its too low and too long to get nasty in.

If you ever decide to sell the S14 setup, let me know. I'm moving back to Bowling Green soon and want to get this turd lowered so I can put my 19s on it.

Post by **jltibbs** » Thu Nov 06, 2008 5:19 pm

Chris, you coming down Sunday?

Post by **cnichols** » Fri Nov 07, 2008 5:03 am

Doubtful, I'll be in the 240 and going to the track (Beech Bend) on Saturday. There's a possibility, but a very slim one.

JIC MAGIC VIP FLT-FAS... what do you guys think about those???

Post by **SpartanAir** » Wed Dec 17, 2008 8:15 am

Anyone use BNR32 coilovers on their G50? I know they fit a President, just wondering if anyone tried them on a Q...they should fit...

Post by **jltibbs** » Tue Jan 06, 2009 4:19 am

Are they a direct bolt on for the President? If they are I would be willing to bet they would work fine on the US version. IF not, why not just modify the Z32 set up like thejapino.

cuz im debating either putting the money into this car or finish my honda... uhh idk what to do... someone please help me decide...!! thanks guys!

Post by **jltibbs** » Mon Feb 09, 2009 3:22 am

For the price of an Air Runner kit, you could probably finish the Honda and have some cash left over. We have vendor directory listed above. That should give some assistance to getting you started. Also, be sure to snap some pics and post them up in the members rides forum.

Post by **Gm0_M45** » Mon Feb 09, 2009 9:13 am

well this is my car... after a little photoshop of how i was it to look asap!!

There's a guy in THIS THREAD showing some air suspension options. Photoshop looks good.

front sway bar isnt needed with a properly set up air/coilver s13 conversion.anyone that tells you otherwise is stupid.

hey guys im new to forum scene so excuse me if i sound super nooby. ive been looking on this forum for the past 2 weeks to find a clear answer on lowering my 92 q45. i dont know if im posting on the correct thread but is there anything for a 92? im getting kinda frustrated here.

Post by **jltibbs** » Tue Mar 17, 2009 5:48 am

Welcome to NICO and the VIP Forum.

It really depends on what look you want and how you want it to perform. If you want a subtle drop and better handling, get some Espilir Springs. If you want it dumped, get coilovers. And if you want it dumped with the ability to raise, get air. There are a few options, so let us know what you are looking to accomplish.

Post by **WanganG50** » Thu Mar 19, 2009 2:21 pm

well im actually looking for a coil over setup that does not require any fab work done on my car. i cant seem to find any kits for my year at all.

Post by **jltibbs** » Thu Mar 19, 2009 3:13 pm

I guess you could get the JIC's for the 94-96 and just bore out the lower mounting area on your Q to allow for the 25MM bolt that the 94-96 model takes. This would be for the front only. The rear is a direct bolt on.

Post by **BLACKonBLACK98** » Thu Mar 19, 2009 3:53 pm

you can get jic's (as well as some other imported options) for zenki g50's. bolt in, no mods.

woo JIC, too bad they are going bye bye
