dont do springs before shocks!!! they go pop and car rides badly...

IMO, Do shocks, then mower, then ECU, then brakes, then kit...

What area are you in too be on that much land :)

Heh, certainly NOT Toorak, that is for sure!

(Damn Man! Can you imagine owning a hectare in Toorak - retirement here I come)

Thanks for the hints on springs guys.

Just changed it to a Poll.

Hey! The option was there, why not use it?

ECU + FMIC is the way to go...'cause you already has the 3"turbo back+hi flow ,so your rocket will be ready for take off'(except you have a really good deal with any other part... :) ...deals first ,don't loose them...aaaaaarrrrrrrgggggggggghhh the eternal question WHAT TO DO?????????? :)

i'd say do the suspension and brakes first before you make it go any faster, better to be over equipped for the more HP than under- equipped in my opinion anyway, thats the way i would do, have everything setup so that when all of a sudden you gain an extra 40- 50kw you have all the bits and pieces to make you handle and pull up in time to do it with.

Mate, do the ECU no question, I have an S2 stagea and with mild mods had it dynoed at 163kw. Had an Emanage Ultimate and a Gizzmo EBC fitted and am now doing 203kw at the wheels best money I ever spent plus I reckon I get close to 100ks extra out of a tank. Have a look in the ECU and tuning discussion.

I did all the suspension first e.g. Coilovers / bushes and although i love the way it handles It certainly didn't give me the same thrill as 40kw. Also you may want to think about this when your replacing suspension especially with sportier stuff you may find you have to replace anything with significant wear e.g. bushes and so on as the added strain of sportier suspension plus the change to your driving (You naturally drive a sporty handling car faster imo) will force you to replace these parts else they will wear pretty quick.

My 2 cents anyway. (Wish I had some cash at the moment for some new mods)

You haven't mentioned with your current set up a front mount intercooler (if you have I'm blind) anywayz, if you haven't a front mount, I would go that before anything else.

The M35 has a FMIC although small. He just wants a bigger one. You know , bigger is better.

Definitely the Bilsteins (and swaybars if you can manage). On the highway your average speed will be way up through not having to slow for corners so much and also save on brakes and petrol through not slowing down and speeding up. Stagea brakes are not their weak point anyway unless you want to go racing. I can't see these ecu remaps coming out any time soon just get second hand SITC and SAFC in the meantime. And get some sheep you can eat them at Christmas.

We know what happens to sheep in the land of the long white cloud. I never knew you actually eat them. How gross. LOL.

I dunno how much you would actually gain from just installing an Emanage. I ad the following initial mods and then instaled the Emanage

S2 Stagea Neo

3" fujitsubo Front Pipe and Catback

3" Metal Cat

Trust Front mount

Trust Blow Off Valve

Trust Pod

All that equaled 163awkw on the dyno. (Remembering that a s2 neo is quoted at 206kw as factory although this is measured at the fly i believe)

Install Emanage and Gizzmo ebc hey presto 203kw on 12 pounds of boost, plus the emanage removes the 2 stage boost the stageas have so full boost all the time :(

All this talk of suspension is making me wish I bid on that Nismo suspension in Import Monster a month ago.

6 months old (but, really how can you tell?) in good condition (from photos) for $730 delivered.

BAH!

How the Gods of time mock thee!

$730 delivered!!!!!!!!!!! holy crap! ill be checking out that site methinks

Nah, long gone by now.

Had different numbers than the "official" M35 nismo suspension... but then I saw a thread here with pics of a Nismo M35 spring and it had the SAME NUMBERS as the auction kit! ;)

Could have started tearing throats out if I was around people at that point :)

I'd say FMIC and ECU...you would definitely notice power gains and fuel savings and with suspension...they will always be there but given the current exchange rate...it's murder to get a set from Japan

I've gotta save up the pennies for a Nistune ECU board so then i can finally install my turbo (HKS GT2535) and get the ECU done and tune it up

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok so i will NEED to have this sensor anyway even with Nistune (or standalone ECU) https://justjap.com/products/genuine-nissan-boost-pressure-sensor-evap-control-system-fits-nissan-r34-skyline-c34-nm35-stagea-pnt30-x-trail-rb25det-vq25det-sr20vet?currency=AUD&srsltid=AfmBOoqfxX48bW9bEwH62orcNhtBfp7ekAL0C9Ca89ySFGUiBzXfXeze Is this the correct one? And this is only thing i need? No other "things" connected to the sensor or something? I do have the wiring.
