Hey guys just introducing myself to the forums. I have been away from the import scene for almost 6 years and 10 from japanese imports since I had 2 audis after. Well im back and just picked up my work/project/. 91 300zx Na 2+2 5 speed , I'll be picking it up tommorrow . Its in pretty good shape for a 20 year old car.
Alot has changed since I been gone and I like the new setups Ive seen people do on these z. I have some funds from my old car cause I sold all my parts. I am gonna leave the body and just do JDM parts but mainly stock looking,coilovers and wheels. My main concern is my suspension setup I want to get everything I need to have it sit right . Any suggestions on good companies and parts to go with would be great

Welcome to NICO club! My name is Mark.

Powertrix is one of the best suspension manufacturers for our cars.

Come on over to the Z32 general section!

Oh also the wheels are on backwards :bigthumb:

Here are some recent shots of my DD Z purchased this past summer. I shaved rock guards ,antenna ,wiper ,new paint, coilovers and wheels so far since my last post. Recently dropped it little lower all around after these pictures. I rolled the fenders and shaved some of the metal where the bumper and quarter bolts up to give me a lower drop without rubbing.
Been kinda busy with the Z the past couple of months. Mainly getting the car up to date on the engine. Replaced all vacuum lines, new ngk plugs, adjusted TPS/IACv and finally got the car idling right! Only thing now I think I have a bad injector o ring, running a little rich. Luckly the guy that sold me the car gave me alot of extra parts and I found a few injectors and o rings. Still have alot of little things to update being its over 10 year old car. Its alot of work ,but fun driving it to work everyday!

For the suspension pieces, i would suggest Powertrix or SPL, and it is worth all the money up front so you dont have to repurchase pieces later.
