Z31 300zx Powertrix Coilover Install

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Today we go though step by step on getting your new z31 coilovers installed! Unlike other cars, the z31 requires you to cut and weld the front coilovers to the stock spindles and to some that can be an intimidating process, so lets get it done!

  • @thecarman3693
    @thecarman36934 ай бұрын

    The issue that has me concerned with going to coilovers is that the entire rear weight of the car (which is about 50% of the total weight) now rests on the forks of the rear control arms, which were never intended to support that weight. It is normally distributed between the rear springs (which fit into a mold on the flat of the arm) and shocks, of which the majority is on those molds, not the shock forks. Then you have to add the accelerated forces of road bumps and other movements which with a lowered car are greater than stock. And then there is the issue of the inner tops of the shock towers; were they ever intended to withstand that weight as well? Even if you hit the shock bump stop, part of the car's weight is still shared by the springs.

    Ok the area I was pertaining to is upper top (Damper) area where there is 4 Hex screw head, in your video within the "Green" circle . Now also the coil over in front is their a particular side they go on? Is their a left coil over just for the left side (driver side). I don't see any particular side in the ones I own. I have tried both of them on either side and they appear to fit. Thanks for your feedback

    If you have 5 lug on you 86 their only two ways they are there. 1st the car was made at the end of 86 when the 87 was made all had 5 lug, or someone prior to you own the car had change them out which is simple to do. Now the turbo 86 did have five lug on them .
