the 370Z vynil is a limited edition thing here in the u.k. it was done for the uk market as we were not going to have the european version brought over here. its called the 370z yellow

wow the drop looks great!

thanks Phil
picked up the EDFC controller and Motor kit from Tein yesterday so should be on the car soon, cant adjust the dampers without them as the fronts are hidden well within the shock housing on the chasis and on the rear they are covered over with the full plastic trim in the boot / trunk. ride is superb. feels alot better at high speed and cornering. chin spoiler / splitter has been taking some abuse on the speed bumps and some low roads ive had to drive on but when the body kit goes on next year i might take it up 10mm just to keep it sweet. its 25mm fr and 25mm rr drop at the minuite.
:)

What are your "clicks settings" for front and rear?

Thanks.

had them fitted at nissan and i think its just the default setting at the minuite till it settles then we can adjust it. might take back 5mm as i have got my eye on a bodykit with a pretty low front splitter.

Nice drop. Are you planning on installing spacers?

That front stock wheel gap is way too much, is there less gravity in Europe? What's going on?

EDFC ftw!
Tein is great for its price, how do you like em so far?
Have you been playing around with the different settings f/r?

just been enjoying the drive tbh but it will have to go back up at least 10mm
1. to facilitate new body kit next year and
2. the camber is a bit fierce, almost 1 degree which will just kill my rear tyres
:driving:

:bowrofl:
lol think its because we are so far north
:rofl2:

i did consider maybe some 15/20mm spacers but will just enjoy it a little while longer before deciding

hahaha. maybe he lifted the car and set it back down before the install. it looks kinda like that until you drive it around the block. my stock ride height is much lower... only about half of the sidewall.

do all 370's in england come with that silly porche looking sticker running down the side?

I actually love the sticker! :ughdance: Obviously, this is a 'personal preference'...... some like it, some don't.

the vynil only appears on a limited edition version available here in the u.k. as stock from Nissan. its called the 370Z Yellow and was produced as we were not going to have another european version available here.
UKDM Nissan 370Z 'Yellow' is a special-edition homage to Europe's GT4 series — Autoblog

as stated above, its all about personal choice and even though ive seen yellow Z's without the vynil, my wife and i liked it when we saw it, and still do. maybe next year as the car takes on a different appearance and shape with the mods in our project bin, it might come off. stay tuned.

looks nice man....why is your place different in before and after?

thanks, before pics taken at the nissan dealership and after taken at my place day after they we're fitted.

I'm looking at the same setup.

A few questions since I think you are the first to install/post:

How jarring is the ride now? Do you have the 12 or 14kgf/mm rates front and rear?

Is the setup quiet? …any noise?

Is the camber adjustment only available on the front?

Sorry about all the questions but I'm looking forward to the difference.

no problem, i did not get camber adjustments with mine but the ride is good. i bought the edfc to soften up the dampers and am taking it back up 10mm as it touches everything. it is very quiet. the kit with camber adjustments are:

but, for some un-known reason when i bought mine here in the u.k. they supplied these:
http://www.tein.co.uk/installation_m...rStreet%28M%29
i've just sent them an email so will let you know the outcome.

Thanks! I'm considering the MONOFLEX. Looking forward to the slight drop and stiffening up the ride a bit.

good choice, the Monoflex would ideally be the best choice in the range Tein has to offer for the 370z heres the reply from Tein:

The Zs are configured with a double wishbone set up front and
rear has a multi-link system.

This type of shock absorber is focused in its operation as it
only dampens. The arms control the geometry, which controls the
position of tyre contact. This means that camber adjustable top
mounts would have no effect and so are not sold as part of this
package on these types of cars.

MacPherson strut type dampers, such as Imprezas or S14 200SX on
the front, also are involved in steering and any changes to the
struts' angle, will affect the contact position of the tyre on
the ground.

Your coilover kit does come with top mounts. Looking under the
OE strut bar, you will see green anodised base plate. This is
the top mount assembly. But under the top nut, you will see
rubber bushing. This is usually a harder compound compared to OE
and better maintains the position and the focused operation of
the damper, to reward with improved feel whilst driving.

Thanks! Good info :tup:

Can you provide the dimensions for the controller? I keep looking for a good spot and it seems there is limited space that would be accessible while driving.

Thanks
 

Looks like CM? Thanks

sorry, you are right its in cm :) im going to have mine fitted somewhere under the steering column either the right side or left side. the guys from Tein mentioned above the steeering wheel but im not too sure how that will look or how neat the wires can be run if it goes there

sorry about the delayed response, but here are some up dated pics

Looks good!

thanks, will post up more after i get the exhaust and up rev done

been thinking about it recently, had a quote for some eibach ones but will wait tilli get the other stuff done

:tup: looks good!

Looks good, I think TEIN with the EDFC is the perfect combo, just not sure if I want to spend the extra for Monoflex or just stick with the super street.

hi dreamer, i wanted to go for the monoflex really but with the other things i had in mind, the budget did not allow. to be honest ive adjusted them for street use since they settled and the ride is truly awesome. i am considering some sway bars, Cusco ones or these

thanks red, there's more on the way just got to get some time to get it down to the tuners. am away till next month as my dad had a stroke

red thats one hell of a nice S how could you part with something as sweet as that? i shed tears when i sold my STi last year, not just because i spent well ober £20,000 ( not including £15,000 purchase price) getting it just the way i wanted. cosworth built motor producing 450whp teins, carbon etc (a long list too much to mention) but it was the time effort and joy she gave me that bought tears when she left my garage.
