Which cars do the Coilovers for Z33 Nissan 350Z fit?

Öhlins lists kit NIS MI00S1 for the Nissan 350Z from 2002 to 2008. The later Z34 370Z uses a different Öhlins kit.

Do I need to buy top mounts separately?

No. The kit includes aluminum ball joint top mounts for both the front and rear dampers. They are fixed mounts with no adjustment of their own, so set camber and toe with a four-wheel alignment after fitting.

What damping setting should I use?

The Öhlins mounting instructions set each damper at 10 clicks as the baseline. Each click changes compression and rebound together through the DFV valve, so fewer clicks firm the damper for track use and more clicks soften it for the road.

How low does the car sit on the Öhlins kit?

On the Öhlins recommended settings the car sits about 20 mm lower than stock. Ride height moves 1.5 mm per turn of the front damper length adjuster and 2 mm per turn of the rear spring height adjuster, within a lowering range of roughly 10 to 30 mm.

Can the dampers be rebuilt?

Yes. Every damper in the kit can be serviced and revalved, so the kit can be refreshed after heavy track use or tuned for a particular driving style. Öhlins covers the kit with a 2-year warranty.

Description

Öhlins DFV Road & Track Coilovers for Z33 Nissan 350Z

Öhlins’ DFV Road & Track Coilovers for Z33 Nissan 350Z replace all four dampers and springs with Öhlins kit NIS MI00S1, which Öhlins lists for the 350Z from 2002 to 2008. A gold knob on each damper switches between street and track settings in seconds, and on Öhlins’ recommended setup the car sits about 20 mm lower than stock. It suits the owner who drives to the circuit and home again; a car trailered to every event wants a dedicated track damper.

Design and Performance

The Dual Flow Valve lets one adjuster shift low and high speed compression and rebound together, so road and track settings are a knob turn apart rather than a session of separate changes. The front dampers are aluminum monotubes with a spring preload adjuster and a separate damper length adjuster, the rear dampers are monotubes with their own spring height adjusters, and both ends arrive with Öhlins aluminum ball joint top mounts already in the kit.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
