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:

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.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
