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.

    • Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.
    • You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
    • Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
    • That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together 
    • I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
