Would one of those projects be the z32 I saw (black one) on facebook? One down and more to go I guess.

 

interested in getting rid of your old kyb agx setup?

 

yeah, that black one has been a project in the least. Still got some more odds and ends to tie up and get it sold.

hopefully I can get my Z up in the air and get it taken apart sooner rather than later. Depends on how good business is.
So if you know of anyone needing professional lawncare, hit me up, we do residential and commercial.

 

Well guys, the Bilsteins to replace the rear shocks my 240sx arrived on 3/22...so on the weekend I installed them. They are as advertised, dont let anyone fool you. These are a super quality item without compromise. They will alter the driving characteristics of your car in the most amazing way. The sure footedness and solid feel of the rear suspension is amazing.

The feel of the car is exactly what I've been looking for. Just a side note though, these bad boys are stiff and non-adjustable. MY Fronts are AGXs...I clicked them up to their #3 setting to get them in line with the firmness of the Bilsteins. I may need to step up the #4, or move on to a different damper altogether. You gotta love a firm ride and apprecite the sacrifice you make in ride quality...if not, you better purchase something else.

Pix of the install.

This is what I've had on the car. Megan lowering springs with OE type z32 shocks to accomidate the z32 knuckle. This set up is OK...but rather soft.




Here is a comparision shot of the two shocks. Bilsteins are definately the beefier constructed of the two. Amazing quality too.



Difference between the two with springs installed...



Installed:



better shot...


More to come guys...thanks for looking.

 

Waiting on a set of KYB front strut mount bearings to be delivered (UPS says Monday). The front suspension is creeking all over the place, popping too, because the mounts lon loger move the way they should.
Its getting down to final prep time before the NC trip. Oils been changed and all fluids have been checked/toppped off as needed so on the day I leave there wont be any doubts. Need to make sure the transmission gear oil is where it needs to be too. Those mountain roads are not kind to a trans without proper lubrication.

Really looking forward to the roadtrip once again.

Good stuff man. Wish I was riding up there with ya. Hopefully i'll be there next time.

 

Hate it when you get the wrong parts!! but oh well. Return city and I'm the mayor. On a positive side note I did swap all the orings on my injectors for the win. My fuel pressure improved and throttle response is very nice once again.

I hope you can head up to the Dragon next time too Empire. Perhaps we could plan a fall tour?

It is funny that you said that.
We were just talking about how we hope business is good this summer (which it should be) so that we can get this car built and take a trip this fall.
Getting excited about it already. Starting my paper build and all that. lol.

 

BAck from the Dragon...

 

looking good, how did the trip go?
