they are different, hence the requirement for a spacer in the rear fork of an M35 when using the BC coilovers, as i believe they use the same rear strut for both kits. no biggie, thanks to dale who supplied some large washers to make up the gap!

No shit.I have to find out what scott got me then. Works well though..

Wicked, this opens up more options then..

Daiyama and Tanabe are a fair bit cheaper than BC, but only made for Z33

Cheaper but is the Quality as good as BC's, for $1299~ shipped, I think they have the most comfortable ride I have ever witnessed. After I tune I think I know whats next :)

setting the dampers on mine on its softest setting, it was a tiny bit firmer than stock, very nice though!

i like it a little hardcore than that, so i clicked it over four times :P

nice, the time will come when i shall invest in some BC's,

I reckon the car feels abit better when the dampers are a little higher, not rediculous though, just enough... but can understand those with wife and kids that would complaint.

ooooooook so do we agree that after market coilovers made for V35/Z33 will fit into an M35 provided a spacer is used?

seems as though mate. Iaiaiaiaiaiaians definitely gotten em in!

well, i dont have V35 coilovers in, the fronts are totally different.

i have a kit for M35 4WD, its just the rears are almost the same as a V35. DONT buy V35 coilovers and expect them to fit, unless you have a PM35 RWD

Can someone here advise if it will be all right if I purchase the lowered springs on IM only? I'm trying to find a cheap sollution instead of buying the whole kit at once.....

Has anyone done this? which springs were used?

Cheers,

Fabio

Cheapest way out is an angle grinder. :devil:

My suggestion is to wait and save up for some BC's as your shocks are surely on their way out by now anyway.

If you really want to waste your cash, try King springs, they make a set for the v35/350z which should fit but may be a little low for speed humps etc, mainly due to our long wheelbase. You may be able to ask for slightly firmer rear springs.

Far better to buy a full kit as the struts give the stability to your suspension (particularly regarding rebound).

Unless you want to be lower to the ground and still bounce like a yo-yo :P

Yahoo is a great place to buy used and new stuff for our M35's and Aaron and the guys at Import Monster can certainly be trusted with your purchases.

I bought my Nismo's (among many other things) through them. Easy, great service and you can see the price breakdown before purchasing :thumbsup:

I guess it's worth doing all at once.... an adjustable probably is the way to go I guess....

Thanks for your reply.

Grinder... haha

I just bought a white Stagea like yours in Japan and it's on the boat at the moment... it has 74K genuine kms... car used to be owned by a family hopefully suspension will be tidy....

quite keen to do wheels, suspension, exhaust... but I guess i'll take it easy otherwise I'm in trouble with my wife....

You seemed one of the most experienced and knowledgeable here therefore I was wondering if you could get back to me with few answer.... Sorry it's not related to suspension...

I'm about to take my car for compliance at Northshore Prestige any advice? Should I check transmission fluid? How much am I looking at for a custom made exhaust system?

Cheers,

Fabio

Fabio, my Stagea was complied by Northshore 4 years ago and I have seen the results on a few other M35's. They do an awesome job, can't really fault them at all. Oh, and they do the cleanest job with the rear anchor/restraint points that I have seen (no leaking for reckless hole drilling).

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, all fixed. :)

Get on Import Monster and look for a cat back system, I can make a dump for around $450 but you will need to get the front pipe made up locally (unless you come to Melbourne).

All fluids are supposed to be changed at compliance, make sure whoever does it uses the Nissan matic J fluid or Nulon synthetic, you cant use dextron 3.

For suspension look closely at the BC's. Great value for money.

    • 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.
