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?

Ive heard Northshore do one of the cleanest compliance jobs, unfortunately mine wasn't done by them. Cam, I have worked out it was the silicone blocking the drain lip that caused the water ingress, al

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.

      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.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
