I lowered my V35 sedan about 12 months ago approx 30mm all round, and in all my wisdom biffed the factory springs out not thinking I'd use them again. Now that I am wanting to use them again and return the car to std ride height, I cant seem to find any dimensions for factory springs so i can then go searching for an 3rd party alternative. I'm being told that I may have to take the current set out and go searching, but most of the suppliers here in NZ are fairly vague as to whether they think they could help.

If any one knows the factory heights or has their original set that they wouldn't mind measuring I'd really appreciate knowing.

Cheers!

Hey mate, its a shame you aren't in Australia, I'd do a straight swap with you as I have the standard springs and want to lower about an inch all round. Just curious mate, what springs do you have? Thanks.

I had Cobra springs fitted which are NZ made, not much technology behind them, just firmer than stock. Cheers

    • Yeah, the thread is only nearly 20 years old.
    • Been down in Tassie for 2 weeks (a cruise, not a race for once) but spent a little time on her when I got back. I worked out the injector settings in the PowerFC were not correct for nismo 555s, set those to 66% +10ms and added a little air at closed throttle, set the timing (approximately, because it has some weird non 15o cells around idle) and now she starts and idles properly. She purrs like a kitten (ignore the co2 alarm in the background, I did  ) 20250518_171052.mp4 Next step, off for run-in, tuning and alignment!
    • Went to a drift practice day at a local circuit (held on the reserve parking area behind the grandstand) for the first time in about 15 years. Some kei cars were drifting as well, a not so surprising Suzuki Carry truck, and two 1st gen Daihatsu Copens that were converted to rear wheel drive(!) using Daihatsu Boon X4 transfer case, prop shaft and rear diff, obviously omitting the front driveshafts. They looked really fun to slide. I heard that they cost "about half" as much as a Nissan Silvia etc to run.  On the track 'Tech M' a local BMW tuning garage had a customer track day. Mainly recent models but there was one E36 which looked ancient among all the current models. It was cool watching the drifting and then turning around and seeing random people thrashing their M3/4s  central-circuit-drift-practice-2025-05-18-long-yt.mp4
    • I prefer it with those wheels (sacrilege?) 😋 Here's a photo of a fully original one for reference. The price is $350K....
    • I would like to keep it around 15k but if I need more to make it reliable and not have to worry about the car breaking I can go more. It's my project car so I'm just trying g to figure out what needs to be in it i know basic things like turbo cams injectors I'm just unsure of the size and the specifics so I'm spending alot of time on Google and its mostly rb25 and rb26 not alot on neo
