Thank you for the support 👍, more mods (ecu, differential, transmission upgrades) coming in the future. Just need to save some a little more money first.

I respect anyone that maintains an older car that they love. Looks great man, I hope the ride is good. You never showed us the final stance! I enjoy your videos, I grew up in Watsonville and really enjoy seeing how much has changed and stayed the same. Be good and God Bless!

so the axle stud had like a flat tip on one one side and while i know the spindle is short - what did you use before torquing the axle nut? was it a washer? i have my bcs but don't want my axle nut coming undone

I honestly did not have an issue with the spindle nut going on. I did read a couple threads to see what was optimal since i did see the nut a little out and they say about 9 to 10 turns is good for the wheel not to go flying. I got 9. Not entirely sure why it wouldn't fit tho. One thing I do want to fix later is replacing the nuts themselves, I did end reusing mine which I highly advise against. No oem spindle nuts are available from what I've seen but the thread pitch and size is M24 - 1.5. But even with reusing the old ones and leaving them at 9 turn torqued to spec I haven't have any wheel issues or vibrations. I can handle sharp turns at 35mph and highway corners at 90mph. Gotta say those BC coils are a dream for the Q.

I tried using Megan Racing LCAs and my balljoints wouldn't fit, they were too short so I couldn't properly bolt in the balljoint into the knuckles, how did you get past that issue?

For the front or rear?

little bro you goit the right idea but i recommend you change your front lower control arm and ditch those washers there gonna snap and strip the threads , check out a 65mm gktech front lower control arm and use a 99 nissan maxima ball joint or Q45 ball joint if you can find a q one as for rear arms i recommend gktech its better quallity than isr and if you wanna have mega camber in the rear gktech camber arm is the way to go watch there viedo what further plans do you have for it?

Thank you for the input! Do you have a q or s14 at the moment?..... as far as the front control arms, they were actully made for the q45, i bought really old stock from a distributor so megan racing doesnt make said control arm anymore but the balljoint although its for an s platform knucle its worked perfectly fine with the added washers, i will get it switched out eventually though I've been looking at other s platform FLCA and seen some pretty beefy ones that will do the trick, im not planning on slaming the car or running really wide tires and even the way it is now ive beeting on the car quite a bit, (over 10,000 miles already) ran a couple curbs, potholes, high speed turns, full lock donuts and ive had no issues 🤞. (All with no sway bar too) but once i get the other car running ill update the entire suspension on this one👍

Hey man how good did this megan racing suspension hold up. I got the same exact

How you liking it bro? I’m about to put my Megan racing setup on today

so i’ve ordered the camber arms, toe arms, and coil overs (meghan racing). is there anything minor that i’d have to change, i really just want to be low and cambered but is there anything i’m missing that’s crucial?

I would definitely try to replace all the chasis bushing which are the same from the 240sx. I would also change the insert bushing on the rear knuckles. If you lower the car you'll definitely want it to be stiffer so you don't end up rubbing tires

great video, what rear lower control arms did you go with? my q needs them before i can get my alignment done. thanks

Rear Lower and upper control arms I got from truhart, initially I wanted megan racing since they do look a lot meatier but I haven't had issue with truhart and I belive they are much cheaper. One thing to note is, if you have lowered your Q the upper control arms will hit your coilover. You might have enough clearance for stock struts tho.

Sheesh if only you were more towards East bay,I would've paid you to install my coils 😅😭 Edit: Do you think its worth switching out all of the suspension work if only dropped 1-2" with stable oem suspension 🤔?? I understand my cars getting old but ive been told it should be fine for now but...who knows 😅

@ChrisandHisQ

From oem hieght you can drop up to 4 inches with the correct camber and wheel/tire set up. But as far as "is it worth it" it really depends what ride experience you want. But on the performance side its definitely worth it. On the cruiser/weekend car its not worth it.... 🤔🤷‍♂️

What parts do you use ? Can you list them?

Hey man just got a 99 q45t with the eletric suspension will it be the same as this.?

@ChrisandHisQ

Жыл бұрын

The electric suspension is completely different as it has a separate computer/controller for the struts themselves. I believe oems are still available for sale through infinity retailers but you can definitely replace any electronic suspension for coilovers or oem non electronic suspension. Ride quality will differ dramatically between setups.
