Schoenmann12 Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Hey I was just wondering what makes Z cars so good on windy roads? what is it about their handling that makes them be able to handle corners as well as they do? Is it their suspension? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auxilary Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 No. Suspension has nothing to do with. Windy roads have everything to do with increased gravity pull on banked turns. You see, when roads are built, the construction emphasizes on greater force of gravity on banked turns. This, in turn, causes our cars to stick to the ground like glue. Periodically, you need to add Newton-Joule (commonly known as NJ-5 type fluid in automotive stores) to your shocks as the viscosity of the fluid breaks down. Kind of like oil changes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jas280z Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 If you can't find any NJ-5 you can always use the older Newton2 Meter (N2M-3) it is pretty much the same stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leon Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 NJ-5 is OK. I prefer the BL-7 (Boltzmann-Liebnitz) fluid. It lasts much longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
