Why use a 350Z gas tank? That's pretty pointless.

350Z wiper motor? Even more so.

Why are you keeping all of the 350Z wiring in general? You're working wayyyy too hard.

Also, why are you looking to keep soooo much suspension travel in the front? Are you running really low spring rates?

We didn't use the 350Z gas tank.....we used the 350Z fuel pump and fuel qty pickups in a 240SX tank that we modified with an additional riser. Both a sending unit and pump that just plugged right in, and will be easy to service from the trunk

350Z wiper motor... well, that's the one that works with the stalk on the column with the least hassle, plus it's new.

Keeping the 350Z wiring...we kept everything 350Z wiring so we could use all of the gauges,the speedometer,all of the emissions,all of the A/C controls and heater climate controls,all of the headlite and steering column swithes and controls, etc.
but mostly, unless you are an EXPERT at wiring, getting rid of the NATS,wiring up the body control module and ECU, and getting it to run seemed like a LOT more work to us. We wanted a reliable, emmisions legal street legal car. It started up and ran perfect first try. Our research indicated a lot of potential problems getting a VQ35HR to start and run.I guess that's why.

The suspension travel is a little less than four inches TOTAL.... we are running 6"/ 400 lbs up front, because that's the SOFTEST rate we could find from Eibach. We can always go stiffer. That leaves about 2 inches from static to coilbind at our ride height....to my way of thinking that's not very much at all...and that's why it won't be slammed any lower either. At full bump we will have just over an inch of clearance at the skid plate from the pavement.

As far as working Wayyyy too hard... isn't that the point?
otherwise......just go out and buy it!
