Z31 Track Car (NA-T swap + suspension)
 
Hello, all. Okay... It has been years since I have been on Z forums. First of all, could someone give me the link to that Z31 NA to T swap website if it still exists?

Really what I want to know is, what are some good suspension parts for a touge and track car?
I need springs (stiff and low ride height), struts, brakes (rotors, calipers, & pads), and a good limited slip differential.

What parts am I missing that should be on this list?

Thank you.

What I would recommend before doing any suspension parts, is finding a local club who does track days and go with them for a few track days to get a feel of what a car is supposed to do and handle on a track. Also if there are any auto-x's nearby I would highly recommend checking them out. Then I would suggest learning the basic physics principles behind a car and then learn the basics of how each component works and how it affects different components and how it effects the car. And if you learn the basics, then you should know what to do in mods.

Also I would learn up on the basics of turbo's and motors.



Now for mods to get you started, I would replace every bushing in the car with an energy suspension kit, then get adjustable tokiko shocks on all four corners then go from there. When you can comprehend the basics of car handling We will recommend another site specific to high performance zcars.

Thank you guys so much for the help.
Lol, this isn't my first rodeo, though. I've been racing for years, I just haven't done anything with a Z31. I have used this car as a toy and for parking lot drifting and all but, it's time to bring out the potential. I bought my lil brother an RX-8 Type S for graduation and I just want my Z on par with that for now.
