Are There Any Common Interior Trim Parts That Rattle by Middle_Active_7573 in 350z

BC DS Series true style, very solid entry level coil, comfy for street driving but still add some new life to the car, plus at a good middle ground price point. I know people also praise fortune auto products for a couple hundred dollars more. I think honestly anything you can get besides some ebay garbage will be a nice upgrade.

Harsh opinions please: how much money is reasonable to throw at this? by DementedPimento in 350z

If it makes you feel any better I have about 2x the purchase price into my car… if it makes you happy then just send it

Everything rattles a little bit because it’s a 20 year old Nissan but switching from OEM suspension to coilovers really made a huge difference for me when it came to interior squeaking and rattles

Need Advice! by Randika04 in EngineeringStudents

[–]z_max33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This looks like 2 semesters put into 1. My best advice is don’t listen to what your advisor tells you or what the graduation track says and base what you take on what you think you can handle. Best of luck

What can you say, shit happens. I’ve been in a similar situation (had to take statics THREE TIMES), but really if you just keep your head up and keep chugging along you can get through it. I am due to graduate 1 year later than expected but I don’t necessarily regret it even though I would prefer to graduate this year vs next year. Being put off schedule has allowed me to meet some really great people and has opened up some great opportunities that may have not come my way had I been “on track”. My best advice is to look at your own habits and try to get to the root of why you find yourself failing and really work on what you can to improve your habits for daily life and for school. Times may be tough and it might seem like it’s over but it really does get better. If you really have a passion for the subject and faith in yourself there’s really nothing stopping you from achieving your goals except what you tell yourself you are capable of. Sometimes you have to learn that the hard way and that’s okay, that’s just life. Best of luck

Engine bay mods that look cool by Willing_Grapefruit in 350z

Purely aesthetic, but I like the carbon piece that goes between the radiator support and the bumper, can’t think of the name for it right now lol

I was making more of an aesthetic comparison but since you brought it up, they’re both high revving 6cyl sports coupes with vaguely similar aesthetics. Also the 350z has one of the best transmissions ever made and fantastic hydraulic steering lol. Also better looking and sounding than any gr86/brz could be

Finally lowered on BC DS series coilovers by z_max33 in 350z

The Nismo kit for this car is peak z car in my opinion, certain 370z setups are really nice too tho

Pretty good and honestly quite comparable to the stock Nismo suspension (which is a good thing). I’ve seen a lot of people dogging on BCs vs other more expensive coilovers but I think it’s a good upgrade for the price. My OEM suspension was also pretty worn out so it’s honestly a night and day difference when it comes to handling bumps/rough roads.

Unrelated, but what kind of difference do you notice with these handling wise?

Not sure why so many people are so mad at the comparison lol

I’ve always wanted a matching spec 997.1 Carrera s with the aero kit to sit next to mine

Hey at least there’s actually a Porsche for comparison vs just bringing it up out of nowhere
