Anyone know if there is a difference between the HM35 and M35 suspensions? Both are rwd, but HM35 is listed as nothing being available on the tein website for the super wagon GT coilovers.

M35 suspension would be fine.

HM35 and AM35 rarely are mentioned on suspension sites and are usually grouped under "M35".

NM35 & PNM35 are AWD

M35, HM35, AM35 and PM35 (usually) are RWD

Yea I was kinda guessing that, but wasn't sure. Thanks :blush:

Hey guys sorry to dig up old thread... But i have a question, i am running the bilstien shocks and springs on my 250tRS four NM35 and for me its way too low ;):)

Im scraping over too many speed humps and the Kakimoto exhuast is taking a beating :P:(.. for me the spring rate seems way to soft. I was wondering what springs from other cars fit so i can look into getting some harder springs..

I am gonna try to raise it only a little because i will be getting the 19" rims soon too which should raise it a little more aswell.

Have a look on Yahoo Auctions for the Eibach springs, they are a bit firmer than the normal Bilstein ones.

Pretty sure that Jetwreck has a set on his ARX.... he may be willing to sell them if you ask him nicely

Otherwise, there are a number of companies in Japan that do springs but most of them are lower than the ones you have now.

You could look into a set of Nismo springs, they are 20mm lower than stock but are quite a bit firmer.

Other than that, why not look at something locally? I am sure that good local suspension shops could make you up something that suits.

i think getting some made would be the best way as i can get the right height and spring rate... However im sure they cant be much different to the J31 maxima as the maxima has the same style of separate shock and spring in the back and when we used to own the maxima the shocks and springs look very similar.. time to start researching i think..

thanks anyways..

If you're wanting something firmer, Id look at whats available for the V35 Skyline and 350Z; the 'stock' M35 springs are the same as the stock springs from them (Or so Ive been told, and I have used V35 springs in my car, so that does sound reasonable). Depending on what weight they're rated for you may not get the height you're looking for. Ive currently got Jetwrecks ARX springs in my car for height reasons, I was causing too much damage to my kit and exhaust with the standard springs :rofl:

mine has been getting punished... it stupid low i dont know how everyone is getting round with lower kits on theirs, How low did yours sit with the v35 springs?? So if your saying the V35, 350z fit in perfectly, well that will give me a start i can get a cheap set of stock 350 springs and give them to a spring place as a base to make some for me..

im over having coilovers.. got them in my corolla, bit over the stiffness!! plus the stag is the wifes daily dont think she will enjoy the buddy clubs as much as i would..

does anyone no off hand what the spring rates are on the bilstien springs coz i am looking at tanabe's for the V35 which only lower 1.1" on the front and 0.9" on the back with spring rates of F/R 6.1/5.5 however im thinking the arse end of the stag will need stiffer!!!!

Just get some BC's then you can set them how you want... >_<

+1 for BC's

I have BC's as well, on their softest setting they're almost like stock. If you're Sydney based, you are welcome to check them out.

Check the Stagea Classifieds, Bbenny has a set of Tanabes for sale, I think.

Cheers, Dale.

hey guys, I am about to upgrade to 8 way adjustable silk road coilovers for my rs.

I currently have Tanabe Sustec Pro and are great for the street but with me now about to track my car, they are a little too soft.

They will be up for sale soon though if anyone is interested. $750 + postage or free pick up. They are less than a year old and were purchased at JDM Concept in Sydney for $1700 by first aussie owner.

Anyone else running silk roads?

BC's aren't Buddy Club.

The spring rate is quite soft actually with great dampening adjustment.

+1 for BC's

I have to agree with these guys. BC's will give you a very comfortable ride and are height/damper adjustable.

If I didn't already have my Nismo S-tune, I would certainly be going for the BC's.

What do you guys think of the Tein, GT wagon or Super Flex wagon for the NM35

I was looking to get these but with spring rates nearly double the BC's they wouldn't have lasted on there long.

How are mine compared to yours Cam? I know Jetweak thought the BC's were much better than his bilsteins...

Just Jap... There were some on Fleabay but I couldn't find them, they only have the 2wd ones.

Nothing lasts for ever, at that price just buy another set in 5 or 10 years.

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
