Hi Guys.

Read this entire thread but no one had answered the question yet so so... just wondering if anyone has fitted any type of coilovers to an M35 with HICAS, mine is currently on the water but is a HICAS model and I did read a while back that there maybe an issue with clearance... any one here actually have a HICAS model with coilovers?

Cheers :)

yes all ARX models have HICAS, also LSD models on some RSs to

is yours an RS with HICAS? lucky for you it has an LSD too

anyway, the suspension bolts up the same, its the tray for the spring that steers the wheels

12kg's are fine for the front.....12kg's are a too hard for the rear imo.....but then again I'm try to get a lot more power to the ground than stock.....I'm running 9.3kg's in the rear atm and it's very snappy in the wet........12's in the rear would be a little bumpy as well.

In between 8-10kg's would be fine in the rear....if you want to play around with it more get a good adjustable rear sway bar.

Hey Jetreck, what suspension are you running if you don't have BC's?

I'm running BC's and mine has Hicas :thumbsup: and an LSD... :nyaanyaa:

No issues at all. The hicas only deflects the subframe a few degrees, so I can't see any problems.

It's a 250T RS Four V

Unsure about LSD :S

Might go 12front and 10 rear wouldn't mind racing kents later on but I dont mind stiff as I still need better fitment!

Just got pedders springs all round at then moment rides like poo! You can buy them once I get coilsezzzzz

The ARX rims are +40????

lame...

Yeh, I used to have a set on mine too. They're not ideal. post-61153-0-51601300-1302746704_thumb.jpg 20mm spacers would help a lot.

I now have these; post-61153-0-09558200-1302746830_thumb.jpg V35 18x8, +30 offset. Much betterthumbsup.gifpost-61153-0-78944500-1302747133_thumb.jpg

    • 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       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
