From Stock to Something Special - Full Suspension Overhaul for the Perfect Z-Car!

[@TheFastrider76]

Your last words were spot on... you gotta do sacrifices for the bigger picture. Nicely done.

[@TheCurbCut]

Much appreciated, friend. Thank you.

[@imthatJew-m4o]

Love the new episode! John and Jared - what a team!

[@Perfect240Z]

Love these videos! Always nice to see a Z with the best parts available.

[@TheCurbCut]

Exactly what we’re here for! ♥️

[@hooch1e_dAddy]

ITS A GLORIOUS DAY!

[@kstoff2218]

We need more Z content from you! Love going back and watching these as I work on my Z.

[@TheCurbCut]

Here for you! More coming VERY soon ;)

[@suchajoe]

Man, that looks good!

[@kikomartinez9062]

Yessss new curb cut lfg

[@TommyRobinson-ep5xq]

I have a 71 240z and a 83 280zx turbo. Both 5 speeds. I love them both.

[@Randomdude-bj6wj]

another z meets its flare fate :( Amazing video though guys keep it up!

[@qnunyuh8417]

Picked up my 280 about three or four years ago, my job transferred me and i had to stop working on it mid restoration, videos like this are Hella motivating!!!

[@billm83army]

Nice car! I have a stock 1983 280ZX. Don't care / don't want coil overs or any other "upgrades" that will make the ride worse. Do not care about track nonsense, horsepower or how fast I can take a corner. I like the car for cruising, not racing an idiot on the highway. I have replaced all most everything but with stock parts

[@vickturorteez]

Hope new episodes are in the works

[@TheCurbCut]

Several marinating in the editing room as we speak!

[@joeldoodnath9473]

Thats some nice upgrades to the 280Z, great video and explanation of the process.

[@JoseVazquez-ed1wu]

Ot came out sick. My os completely apart. Is been that way for 10 years now. This video got me motivated again.💪💪💪

[@TheCurbCut]

Get after it bud!!

[@definitionxmk]

When cutting up the rear fenders, did you have to weld the inner section to the front? It looks like you just cut it and grinded it down. I'm curious because im about to do this...

[@PhantasmPhoton]

my spindles weren't thaaaat bad. first make sure you have the bolt that goes into the notch removed. Put your penatrant in through that hole, let it sit. Hit the pin with a dead blow (dead blow is critical) or press it while you work the hinge back and fourth. Once you get it to move one way hit it the other way and keep applying penetrating oil. Once its gone back and fourth a few times it should come out at lot easier. when reinstalling start with a new part and maybe wire brush the hole out really good.

[@TheCurbCut]

Oh of course that mid bolt was removed. These pins were just as hard to remove on my own car. Any car that’s seen rust / has lived in the North East is likely to have this issue. (Hence why they make the tool! Haha) I’d count yourself lucky, my man! But good luck to anyone attempting this job - it’d be nice of it was always that easy!

[@PhantasmPhoton]

@@TheCurbCut aaah yeah my car was from south ga.

[@definitionxmk]

What kind of bolts were used for the fender flares? Also the welting around them?

[@TheCurbCut]

1/8 button head allen bolts - 1" and 1.5" assortments (rivets are typical / smaller but dont offer the same servicability)

[@loveyou211ful]

Where is your shop located? I have a 73 240 and I am in Charleston SC

[@TheCurbCut]

[@juanjosev]

hey great work and videos. Can you tell me how you fixed the roll center adjuster hitting the barrel of the wheel

[@TheCurbCut]

@@juanjosev Truth be told - we removed it. But bumpsteer has been fine w.out it :((

[@darrengalligan3085]

Looks amazing fitment is soooooooo good may I ask what the spec of the watts are 9.5 up front 10.5 rear???

[@definitionxmk]

@@TheCurbCut Ballpark, how much to do something like this? Assuming we have all the same parts in hand... Curious I will pick it all up this Black Friday.

[@hbmartian]

Reusing a factory sway bar after spending 10K on T3 stuff is disappointing. :( ST Suspension makes an affordable upgrade.

[@malafone]

Can you speak to why counting threads when adjusting the coil overs? Couldn’t you measure with calipers to get the same result? It seems like less prone to error, and less annoyance if someone starts talking to you when you’re in the middle of a count heh

[@TheCurbCut]

@@malafone Calipers would definitely be precise. By all means. Just offering an everyman’s trick in the event that someone doesnt have digital calipers.

[@malafone]

@ got it - makes total sense thanks!

Where is this place located like address, have a 72 240z I need some work done?

[@Theonewhoknocks-s4b]

Not gonna lie interesting to see a shop working on cars on jackstands, especially in NY.

[@TheCurbCut]

@@Theonewhoknocks-s4b What is that supposed to mean??

[@Theonewhoknocks-s4b]

@@TheCurbCut As a fellow Newyawker in the area that you're in i was surprised to see you using jack stands in the video why struggle when you have a lift?

[@TheCurbCut]

@@Theonewhoknocks-s4b 4 post lift vs 2 post lift - also dialing in fitment tends to be easier when closer to the ground.

Did you know that this song is in German ? He said "If I were a dog instead of a human" and "How do I become a dog?" its a little weird to hear, if you know xD 10:30 Min

[@TheCurbCut]

Everyone is entitled to their own ideas on poetic license! Haha

[@tingel-tangelbob3122]

1:35 tf is theese lyrics 😭

[@TheCurbCut]

10:35 (?) is a song by a German band called Tobi Wan Kenobi

[@chaseincats]

there are more datsuns with black minilites, overfenders, and fender mirrors than stock ones at this point...

[@TheCurbCut]

And more people who miscategorize wheels, I guess…

[@CJkofoed]

Damn that’s cool. Glad it makes you mad.

[@spener1313]

Nissan literally sold the over fenders to the general public so they could have them homologated for the Nissan race cars. So it has a Nissan part number..... And that's what "stock" part means. Your just hating
