ye but the 350 z is a rear wheel drive not 4wd is this not an issues

what model brake kit number do i look for then for the 4wd hicas 250t rs four ?

RWD/AWD/HICAS do not matter with the brakes. ANY 350z or G35 brake kits will fit.

The M35 Stagea's (Axis, ARX, RX, RS... RWD or AWD) all have the same brake setup and, from factory, is the same as the non-brembo 350z/G35 (V35)

For that matter, 370z Akebono brakes fit (as per Chris's car) and are an awesome upgrade (if you have the wheels to fit them)

You'll find a shitload of brake kits of you Google for them... or have a look at eBay Motors ;)

yes.

Akebono, G-tech, StopTech, D-spec are available on eBay Motors. 4/6/8 pot fronts depending on brand and 2/4/6 pot rears depending on kit.

Apologies for the hijack Dale

All good guys.thumbsup.gif

Been on the phone with Wayne today, once the NM35 Sway bars are officially a stock item, ( Jules is booked in for his to be fitted Friday) we will be able to put up some group buy details for Uprated Bars, Ball links, mounts and possibly FRONT ball links and mounting hardware!

I'm busier than a one legged man in an arse kicking competition with this right now, but rest assured, a week or so from now, I should have a tonne of bits for you all to bust a nut over, so save your pennies!

They'll all be competitively priced and you'll be able to get hold of bits as you need them so it won't break the bank.thumbsup.gif

Cheers, Dale.

G'day Dust, You didn't happen to speak to Wayne at Whiteline recently? He mentioned yesterday someone from NZ had been on to him.whistling.gif

No worries mate, once we get it all the pricing sorted, I'll find out the most competitive way to get the parts to you, and then I can give you some options.

I'm sure there's a way to do it without huge expense; possibly a bulk package to someone in NZ then distributed locally from there.

Cheers, Dale.

Another thing if you guys could answer

with coilover sets if i put my two cents in, tein super flex own all i have had a few cars with the tein super flex with edfc and they were awsome yet those cars i had builT as toys with alot of power

the stagea is more of my get to work street car ( which will still get the tlc of more power ) yet the tein suspension i think are still a bit to hard for the streets

what do you guys recomend for the stagea tein super flex for the wagon or bc gold ( i know the teins are better coilovers yet wich is better as in still comfy on the road AND GOOD SUSPENSION UPGRADE ) ?

I have the BC BR's and I've been boring everyone to death about how much I like them. They are the perfect balance between comfort & performance. Honestly, you will not buy better for anywhere near the same price.

I actually bought mine through an NZ performance shop, and they were cheaper than OZ, even after I'd shipped them back over here; I'll dig up the name tonight, the guy was great to deal with.

hey daleo did u but the bcs with the off the shelf spring rate as i was thinking you can ask suppliers to give you diiferent spring rates.

So if i have the cash i would buy tein super flex wagon but ask them for a different spring rate to soften them up , but if the bc were off the shelf standard spring rate ill just go for those and use the rest of the money for

my sway bars , links , mount brackets

what dale doesnt mention is that on the 'soft' setting they are well balanced, firm but not a harsh ride.

wind the dampers up harder and it wont move. good if you want to run a semi-slick on the track.

my BCs came with 10kg fronts and 11kg rears. however ive seen sets with 9/8 and 9/10 so you can probably order whatever you like

so withthe standard 10kg / 11kg rates , how do you find your set ?

are these the same spring rates as yours daleo

i dunno what the standard is. when he asked what spring rates i wanted. i told him double digits lol

mine are a little harsh over the small bumps. but i have the dampers wound up a little too. and got some pre-load on the front springs. the rear wallows a little. but i think i have a broken swaybar mount, and dont have the dampers firm enough.

my wife hasnt complained, so compared to my HKS hypermax pro i had on my previous S15, she loves the BCs on the M35

however i have the only set (that we know of) of dolphin freeway swaybars and a whole load of underbody bracing. this all adds to firmness

yes i have seen those dolphin freeway bars

and a whole load of under body bracing ? what else do you have under there , keen for info as its almost impossible to find nm35 parts in NZ

I’m after a nice firm ride , I hate allot of rear body roll and the m35 has that , yet all my coil over’s for my last cars where tein super flex and damn awesome kit just a little too bit bumpy for nz roads then baby came along so went from toys to a compromise of a wagon mixed with pure sex and bought the stagea

    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.  
    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
