Yea still not sure which way to go.

Somebody suggested to me that the cheapest and maybe best option would be to replace springs on the coilovers to a softer rate and just get the struts revalved to suit the spring.

Munkeyboy, would appriate it if u let me know how ur tein SS go when u get a chance to put them on. If u were in Melb I'd have lent u my c-spanner

to be honest, i dont know. i'm assuming theyre the jap spec.

so far, i cant find how to tell the difference by looking at the part numbers/label on the actual shocks themselves.

the kit number would be different, but i dont have the kit number, because obviously, they didnt come in a box.

anyone know how to tell?

ive emailed fulcrum with the part numbers, but no reply as yet.

King springs and bilsteins would be fine. There is an Aussie distributer for bilsteins somewhere on the interwebs. I like my bilsteins a LOT, was HEAPS better than stock.

http://www.bilstein.com.au/

there are a few suppliers around Australia, but i beleive they all get there bilstein stock from Sydney Shocks/Heasman anyway.

as far as springs, personally id aim for a spring like the hypercoil or eibach, then get an adjustable sleeve. but if u just want a cheap street solution, kingies or whitelines are ur best bet. try and pick some up 2nd hand if ya can, they do sag, but uve got height adjustment which can take care of that.

also guys, remember to request extra circlip grooves, the standard grooves give u fark all adjustment. id ask for 2 grooves up (will get u to legal height with low springs), and 6 or so below (depends how low u wanna go).

    • Update all   thanks to the workshop manual, it lead me back to checking fuses as mentioned central locking and door open lights worked when acc was switched on. diagram attached shows two points of power 1. ACC and 2.  Batt with the later being fused (#28) I did check the fuses using a multimeter but I must have stuffed that up also. Went back and checked the batt fuse in interior fuse box and you wouldn’t believe it… a blown fuse. replaced fuse and everything is now working as it should including the climate control   thank you all with your positive insight and knowledge.    
    • Where is the warning "That this thread is super old"   I just went into a 5 year old thread, went to do a reply, and couldn't see anywhere obvious a warning of it being super old
    • Duncan is correct. Pitwork (and Toyota's own cheap brand "Drive Joy") were primarily created as brands to sell other manufacturers car parts. It would be weird if Nissan sold parts for Toyota vehicles with a Nissan logo on it, so they created Pitwork to sell parts for other brans Toyota, Honda etc. They are not the same as Nissan genuine parts, although they *do* meet Nissan's standards for replacement parts. They aren't supposed to be a substitute for genuine parts, but a cheaper alternative that is better than Ebay fake parts from you-know-where.
    • Thanks GTSBoy, much easier to work with it now it's free!  
    • I _think_ that one has a christmas tree or some other retainer spike into a hole in that panel under it. Come in under it with thin scredrivers and just pry it gently up. If you rip the ears off the retainer pin....so what? Just stick it back down after with a bit of race tape and carry on with life.
