Yes I know there is a "Stagea Suspension" thread, but it is pretty cluttered and we haven't really explored a lot of M35 suspension kit options out there, so I thought I would put together a bit of a list with some basic info and links to websites for those of us without suspension upgrades.

This is not a complete list by any means, but should serve to give M35 owners a few options.

Awesome, nice work man :O

My car is running the Nismo S-Tune, not bad at all!

I believe if I need to get the shocks redone they can replace the insides, I think from memory they are actually retagged Bilsteins.

Doesn't lower the vehicle by heaps but it definatly gives it a nice ride around corner's, the RX behind me (nudge nudge Iain) was screeching wheels around the old pac whilst mine was gripping like sh!t on a stick :)

Anyways, that is my 2 cent's worth on the Nismo S-Tune.

you were only gripping like shit because you were going so friggen slowly :O

I was awaiting a reply like this :) you are just soooo predictable flange man.

Even though I was going slow I still would have beat Andy :D

my mum could beat andy :O

anyway, there is a massive range of spring rates! i like the look of the Tein GT Wagons :)

its a shame the rears arent a 'coil over' type of spring/shock combo. i guess to keep the boot space flat and have more of it.

Do you think one of the modders could start pulling all this new info over into the M35Info thread so newbe's can source the info there first? There are other topics on here like Sat/Nav/Stereo info, intake, wheels/tyres, swaybars, towbars, interior removal and exhaust (flanges!) :O .

+1 on that, I'm all for including the flange in all discussions :O

Yeah. I will be GRADUALLY doing a few more.

Intercoolers

Exhausts

Bodykits

Yep, I'll be cleaning up the thread a bit soon and collating the info into C34-specific and M35-specific sections to make it easier for all...

I was awaiting a reply like this :cool: you are just soooo predictable flange man.

Even though I was going slow I still would have beat Andy :blink:

Thanks Stephen and Ian.

Stephen you haven't even seen my car let alone seen me drive.

Looks like a track day challenge for the best lap time will be on soon..................

This is great work....well done....

you trying to send me broke????

Nah, not trying to send you broke, but if you are just throwing away those Bilsteins, consider me calling dibs.

Gotta say that it looks like the Nismo or AiStar would be the best "bang for buck".

The Nismo's are bloody comfortable and a damn good performer.

Would love a set of those Dolphin tuned Ohlin's though :cool:

I was only revving you up Andy, no offence was intended! :)

Let me do some more work to the car before there is a track day lol

wats the difference between the ARX and RS/RX suspension?

other than height and stuff?

I think the only differences are height and stuff :)

Maybe just different springs? I'm not sure, maybe Andy or Craig can shed some light on it.

The M35 Information Fact Sheet thingie I posted up previously only covers the difference in ground clearance.

wats the difference between the ARX and RS/RX suspension?

other than height and stuff?

40mm more ground clearance (180mm)

10mm more track width front and rear.

The LSD at rear but this is not the really a suspension difference.

I haven't been able to find any other differences.

The Bilstein set for the ARX drops the ride height by about 40mm.

If the the sets are not for the ARX but for a RS or RX they would drop the ride height by 60-80mm.

Cheers

Andy

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
