Staying on the rear suspension I managed to pick up some "air lift performance dampers" from Ebay. Apparently they are made in the same factory as Bc racing. And they are 30 point damper adjustable which was what I was after. 

Dampers fitted to the rear. And off for an alignment. The eccentric bolts on the spring buckets/arm were seized however. (Literally the only bolts I didn't replace, typical) so the camber is a little out untill I can get that replaced.

I also took the time get the height right on the rear adjusting the new coilover set up. Front probably needs to come down a little more. But it also meant I was able to get up the ramp to get it aligned a bit more easily. So maybe a blessing.

Also the big news. Got the modified and refreshed wheels back. So happy with them. Ultamotive did a great job with them.

So after waiting a while for some more parts to be delivered. I don't some BC damper extenders. They aren't a  exact match to the Air Lift Performance dampers, so took some modifications. To file down the diameter to fit the caps on the BC adjusters. For reference for the 350z go foe the smallest size adjusters, like 100mm or something. I had to trim mine down considerably.  Which was a faff. Anyway fully adjustable and fitted now. Glad to be able to make the ride softer for long journeys.

Mad to take a step back and look at the stack of rusty parts taken off the car this previous winter. Almost don't want to throw them away. Tempted to maybe get them blast and powder coated to have as spares.

Brilliant work, she must drive so much better now with fresh shocks and springs all round, arb with poly bushes and rear arms. What's next?
