also, Which ones to get. Br type Rs, or VS ones? What does everyone recommend?

Oh and spring rates... I'm not looking for anything too hard! Does anyone have a link to the specifications?

What is the range of height adjustment for the Stagea? I can't seem to find it here! (I am tired though.. so be nice if it's obvious)

In BC's own material they claim to have 100mm of adjustment from std height.

There is not enough room under the rear to get that low. I was told they just select the appropriate spring rate for the vehicle, they did a pretty good job with it but im sure you could ask them for a particular rate if you were going to track it.

There was a thread in suspension, a guy with a GTR asked for lighter spring rates than they normally supply in their external reservoir kit, and dampers were revalved to suit at no extra cost. So their service is pretty comprehensive, I don't think I've heard any negative feedback about them.

They are great quality to look at. I think because they are made by the company who manufacture a big brand and put the big brand label on.

Anyway, mine came with 10kg fronts and 12kg rears. cant comment on the ride as yet due to broken car

They have a firmed spring rate.

Having been a passenger and driver in Scott's M35 with the "cheaper" BC's, I can tell you that the ride is very nice for a daily.

Stay flat around corners and absorbs bumps easily without jolting through the seats.

all the 4WD suspension is the same. ARX is higher is all.

They dont recommend RS/RX suspension on ARX due to the larger rolling diameter wheels will foul the guards when you go that low

however, the BCs give you plenty of height adjustment to overcome that

Sorry for being a pain, my nets playing up so takes awhile to load otherwise i'd search.

Two suspension shops have told me 350Z and M35 are same coilovers, how ever Nissan are saying no.. Looking at a pair of Bilsteins for 350Z/350GT I don't see why they wouldn't fit, but would like to confirm first. Has anyone tried/succesfully fitted 350Z/350GT shocks?

Thanks

P.s for a RWD M35

I think you'll find that the fronts will be the same as a V35, but the rears are obviously different from both the V35 and the Z33.

So that must mean V35 350GT coupe are different to V35 sedans etc?

The box of for the bilsteins I had were labelled V35 and Z33

I dont know if anyones confirmed, I read the whole thing and couldnt find a direct answer for the ARX.

I took Scottys old M35 Springs and Shocks. These Springs are for the V35 Skyline. The Shocks are exactly the same and the tyres now go *just* under the guard on all four. My exhaust hangs pretty low and I've had no problem with scraping, sideways it over the bumps :).

no rubbing touching funny noises nothing. The rides still abit soft lol definitely not like standard anyway. I found my rear suspension to be abit wobbely like though, but found that problem to be a snapped sway bar link will get around to it soon.

IMO it works fine. and being an ARX the body kit isnt as low as the Aero Kit or other kits. I like it, im not gonna put it on a track so I didnt see the reason to adjustables.

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
