I thought I'd dig this thread up a little as its somewhat relevant to what I need at the moment.

Is this the BC kit that was mentioned earlier? http://justjap.com/store/product.php?produ...at=0&page=1 Im looking to get either new springs or a coilover setup for my recently purchased baby M35, however Im doing it for the opposite reason to most; my car is sitting too low for me ! Id say the front lip is about 8cm off the ground and Im making far too much contact with every day obstacles, add in to the equation that I cant even get it up my drive way and it starts to make a little sense.

Ive got a few guys here in Adelaide chasing up parts for me, but I figured some of you might have suggestions as to an easy way to get my ride height up to something closer to standard. Is a new set of coilovers going to be the easiest way to get it done or are there some 'standard' springs out there which will actually fit properly and raise it up a little?

Hi Dunc, I recently fitted a set of BC BR coilovers to my Stagea, these were updated to correct some issues with the earlier designs. Most of the issues have been sorted, leaving you only having to re-use your original rear shock top mount. If you do buy, ensure that what you're buying is updated, not old stock, otherwise you'll have issues. The update is from September 09 onwards.

Regarding ride height, the BR coilovers that I bought could easily be set at factory height, as the rear springs are now longer; there were no issues fitting the fronts originally. The ride is quite nice and the finish is quite neat for the dollars you pay.

Hope this helps, Dale.

Hey Dale, Thats fantastic news - thankyou! If my mechanics aren't able to find anything I'll let the know about the BC BR's and go from there. Fingers crossed they do source something locally so I can get it done asap though ;)

Did you source anything locally? I am wanting to upgrade the suspension too and Iam in Adelaide. Who is fitting the suspension for you?

Cheers

Also, which ones from JustJap to buy?

BR Type RS Series or V1 Design VS Series ?

I ended up puttin in V35 springs (These are the same as 350z springs), but Im still trying to work out how to get more height - my body kit just sits damn low. front and back is at ~12cm or so now, and whilst it makes a huge difference theres still a lot of stuff I cant negotiate without scraping. The BR's are the ones to go with if you're buying from teh BC range, however they wont get me any higher than stock.

I just had my local mechanics fit the suspension, its all pretty straightforward / standard :cool:

I have some standard AR-X springs if you need em....lol

The AR-X springs should sit me up ~40mm compared to stock, yeah? If so - definitely keen to give them a whirl! :down: I'll shoot you a PM.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
