Hi guys, just got my car for almost a week now. Before I got my car, I was watching a review of the G35 in youtube and the review was saying the car's suspension is smooth and nice and much better than the 350Z for usual roads.

After 1 week of driving on NZ roads, i note that the car is nice n quiet on smooth tar road. However, when there are more bumpy roads, I note that the car's suspension is quite firm and the noise level is much higher.

Just keen to know what's everyone's experience and verdict for their v35's suspension. Mine is stock suspension + stock Bridgestone Potenza 18 inch tyres.

I've got stock suspension and stock 18s (45/18 rubber) and I imagine the experience is much similar to yours. The car is exceptionally smooth for what I would have expected. I have a Honda Accord Euro CL9 too which is lowered on Eibach Pro springs and Koni Yellow adjustable shocks with 40/18 rubber and the V35 is considerably smoother over bumps

Yeap, got a coupe too. Smooth road is smooth as. Bumpy rough roads, more road noise and what not, but I don't think it's that uncomfortable?

I came from an s14 lowered, so everything about this car is more comfortable :D

Are you trying to compare it against any particular car?

Coupe has firmer suspension than sedans, so if you're after a totally smooth ride, get the sedan...

The 350gt/gt8 has the same suspension as the 350 coupe, as the spring rates are the same.

I have the GT8 and have fitted a full Nismo set from a 350z, the spring rates are slightly different to the Skyline spec items, .1 kg different front and rear, the ride is still good but the handling is much improved, reduced body roll.

Well I m not really comparing it with other cars. And I did expect the car to have a firmer suspension compare to a sedan. It is a sports coupe afterall. So definitely not complaining n I do feel the ride is great. I guess my only little concern is really the noise level on bumpy road. It's still smooth though just abit noisier. But like I say I m not complaining as I m loving every second I m driving the car.

The main reason I started the thread was just to know how others feel.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok so i will NEED to have this sensor anyway even with Nistune (or standalone ECU) https://justjap.com/products/genuine-nissan-boost-pressure-sensor-evap-control-system-fits-nissan-r34-skyline-c34-nm35-stagea-pnt30-x-trail-rb25det-vq25det-sr20vet?currency=AUD&srsltid=AfmBOoqfxX48bW9bEwH62orcNhtBfp7ekAL0C9Ca89ySFGUiBzXfXeze Is this the correct one? And this is only thing i need? No other "things" connected to the sensor or something? I do have the wiring.
