Recommended Posts

If someone had a gun to my head and I had to choose I would get the 250t RS FOUR V HICAS with black leather & sunroofs in Dark blue pearl <BW6>

The one with the different ride height is the AR-X which is a "All road X(cross) over vehicle" (like a outback is to a liberty)

it is 35mm longer, 30mm wider & 40mm higher than the rest of them..

it has 40mm more clearance than standard. advantages? meh

Hi,

Are their any opions out there about the is the best M35 model.

Some seem to have differnt height etc... why is this. what are the advantages of xtra height?

There are differences in dimensions as mention the biggest difference being the clearance, 180mm v non ARX models being 140mm.

The biggest difference is not in the dimensions of the car but in the other benifits; ARX has standard;

  • Limited slip rear diff
  • HICAS
  • Leather interior
  • Electric seats
  • Heated front seats
  • 18 inch wheels

All the above are standard.

I don't think the handeling is any better on the ARX model and infact most people have found it too soft. A few people now have fitted the Bilstein shocks and springs which lowers the car around 40mm and reduces body roll significantly.

Stiffer sway bars are also a great benifit in reducing body roll on this car.

Hope this helps.

Andy

    • A31 is pretty much the same thing without HiAIDS I mean CAS, no improvement lol. Not to late to send it.
    • Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though. 
    • 215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.  
    • That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.
    • I have been looking at some setting on the alarms for the Q60 and what buttons do and so and also been looking for details on the alarm in my V37 which is a standard issue with the car. settings like window roll up and a few others seem to not work at all. i cant seem to find exact info on V37 alarms so Q60 is all i can really go off i have not tried 400Z alarm settings or info yet so that will be next. any one got like a sheet of info on the alarm system in the V37 as all my documents are in japanese but i thought the system would basically be like standard through similar models?
