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.

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
