NISMO Suspension for B12s

Boosterwitch · May 9th, 2002, 03:57 PM

All,

I was just over at Mossy Performance and found out that Greg has some complete suspension kits for B12s made by NISMO.

It comes with struts and springs and an upper perch I believe. Greg has a limited number of these sets (about 4 sets) and is selling the complete kit for $500. The struts are 4 way adjustable as well.

Just thought some of you may be interested in it.

Here's their number:
866-55-MOSSY

Anyone know how good they are?

Mine shipped today. Total was $561 shipped including Heavy Duty shock mounts. I'll post pics and give impressions when they get here. Bang for the buck, this is the best suspension you can get.

Once again, Greg came through like champ. If my eagl eye serves me correctly These struts appear to be shortned, notice the progressively wound coils as well.

Damn, I want those. Nismodriver, let us know how the install goes...

Which company makes those shocks and springs for nismo. Is the front air damn like the one dropped89 has on his b12.

Nismodriver · May 17th, 2002, 04:23 PM

If you look closely at the last picture I posted it says KYB, just like Charles and I mentioned before. The air damn is both the same as Charles and Josh (Dropped89).

Where did you get your air dam from and your shocks are adjustable for what your rebound or softness.

Just got the Nismo Suspension kit from Mossy Nissan today. At a glance, the struts seem to modified to provide additional travel. The springs are very interesting too. Although I havent been able to figure out which end is top or bottom on the spring. (directions are in Japanese! gotta love it.)

I can't wait to get these on the B12, (although i'm going to have to). Sounds like we have a good ol' suspension shoot out on our hands. KYB/GC V. Nismo? Loser gets sold on ebay! hahaa

scratch that. They seem to have less travel but the thicker strut body implies good things in the dampening department.

You know what I had to go and do fifty push ups to calm down enough to type this letter. When I had seen your pretty silver car I was so happy for you I could scream. I have a pretty silver car too. I have a carbureted model that is on it's third carb at $1,300.00 a carb and it needs another. I had considered an E15t swap since this is what I had seen another persons documents on the internet, but this was a flop. I had considered a E16i swap, but this was a flop. I had considered converting the E16s to an E16i, this was also a flop! I will tell you why. . . Maybe around where you live you have a car club or group of close knit individuals with extensive mechanical knolege and expertice working with these cars, where I live I cannot find a specialty or custom job race shop anywhere. All of them between Maryland, Virginia, and D.C. are out of bussines. So this leaves me no option because shops here will only do O.E. like repairs. Even the dealer said no, and I know they could do it! I have no clue where the wire harness disappears to once it climbs under the dash if I may mention. I am an operations manager at UPS so mechanical things are not my practice. I will now close this post to submit P.2

So, let me get this right. You are upset with me because I have a modified B12? It is correct, I had a close knit group of Nissan friends at the time, and a shop to use to do the swap. But it was still done by myself, and it was the first 1.6 to 2.0 swap done in my Nissan club. I'm sorry for your unfortunate circumstance, but as stated in earlier posts, with a littel research and resourcefulness, A CA18DET swap could be done very easily without the need for friends or a shop. By the way, for a good VA shop, check out Rosen Autosport. Very familiar with SR20 swaps, they may be a bit pricey, but it can definitely be done. I still fail to see the real point of your post other than the fact that both of our cars are silver? Best of luck, and get a couple more pushups in for me too, I'm gettin fat and lazy in my increasing age.

I see this poor little car as so worthy of being re-born it truthfully just SITS here on the drive way. I rinse it off time to time and open the windows on hot days, but this is it. I am so thrilled when I see a nice one I allmost loose it. To see this car will make any B12 lover (including males) have a baby! I have added this site so you could see it. . .

I got it used in 1992 and so far with 77k miles and Nissan dealer maintained, the dealer is puzzled as to why the carbs keep going bad in MY car. After contacting Nissan about this issue they did admit the carb was a bad product, but there were no recalls at this time and nothing they could do to lighten up the price of a new one. Yes the car runs, but no cigar here pal. The last time I drove it was to take pictures of it because I had promised two people I would send them pictures and it seemed like forever. I am a busy man though. I mailed them to a guy named Charles and a guy named Jason, two of the Sentra network guys. To see this car you could only say man this thing needs help a car like this should not be rotting away in on the drive way. I keep it up it has no rust no dents no leaks. The paint is going, it is all stock besides a header, upgrade c.d. player, dash kit, and upgrade speakers. The interior is pristine condition, but the outside is over run with spider webs in the wheel wells and on the bumpers. oh and the tires are brown now, WOW. I just do not want it to be like my dads 68 GTO full race a REAL 8 second car that truely died when he and my mom got divorced I hope the old SE does not get that bad. gconway1@msn.com I just wish my car looked as shiny and nice wheels and stuff like yours. H-E-L-P-! ME.
