Hi,

Just wanted to ask what springs are out there for a 2001 Skyline v35 250gt 4 door sedan.

I'm from Melbourne and I called a couple of places and the only place that could get them said they only have tiens and they would set me back ~$800 and may have 1+ weeks waiting time to have them shipped them from Japan??

Anyone have any suggestions? I've looked on ebay and found only springs for g35/v35 but says for year 03+?

Any help would be great... I dont have the car yet but i'm just looking at my options and planning ahead...

Thanks,

Dan.

$800 for a set of Tein Springs??????????????? Thats a bloody rip off!

Now i'm not 100% but am pretty certain the 250gt and 350Gt have the same suspension setup...if you can verify these then your options have widened as they will be compatible with 350z springs.

I am currently running a complete 350z factory suspension in my 350gt sedan. It is a straight fit and lowers the car by approx 1" all round. Most people in the US just replace the springs with the 350z ones and use existing struts, works as well.

Would a set of standard R34 GTR (ie non V-Spec) ones fit?

I have a set so long as they fit - not harsh like V-Spec. $80 + post.

Check tho' eh?

Cheers,

Tez

Hi mate,

I'm looking to lower the car a couple of inches... and just thought $800 was rediculous... looking for any guides on how much others may have paid to lower a v35... I dont have any intention to track the car so not fussed on cornering...

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
