Questions On M35

[Jetwreck]

anyone with M35 has bought any reinforcement braces (not sway bars)? if yes, do they actually improve handling or at the least work as it's supposed to?

something like this: http://www.oxmotorsports.co.jp/7.html?

damn expensive

Iain has em on his car....pretty sure he was happy with the result....although we did do the BC + Sway bars at the same time!

i have them

and yes they help. well, i assume so.

i did them, swaybars and coilovers all at once.

anyway the chassis creaks less now when i go in and out of my driveway at an angle...........

[Sydsyd]

are they actually the same as the whiteline sway bars in dale's group buy? i'd like to get the front and rear strut bars, but are the others sway bars or additional braces?

is that actually chassis flex?

i assumed it was just the movement of the swaybar. and the creak was nil lube in there.

completely different!

the bracing stops chassis flex and adds rigidity. the sway bars prevent body roll.

get both, failig that, just get the swaybars

of course, its metal!

jack up one corner and open a door

my car creaks when i park on uneven surface and climb into the rear seats from 1 side

i thought it was swaybars that ran out of grease or just worn bushings

hmm interesting

speaking about creaks, my car creaks a lot on turns and even when rolling slowly on a slightly uneven surface...is it normal or something that i need to look at?

[zei20l]

old and dry bushes is probably all it is. unless your car is doing something weird, i wouldnt worry too much about it.

mines done it since i got it. i thought changing the suspension and swaybars would fix it. but the creaks are coming from elsewhere. maybe ill throw some lithium grease around one day

Mine creaked a lot when going over bumps and stuff but that all stopped with the new coilovers...

guys, more questions

1. i saw a DIY 1 day on changing the shifting direction for the manual but can't find it anymore, any links and photos on how to do it?

2. looking to change brakes, i know there are a couple (or more) threads for brake upgrade, but just want to get a quick and straight answer: does R34 GTT brakes (f&r) fit M35 and what do i need other than the caliper and corresponding rotors and pads?

3. anyone know how to raise up the HID headlight beam? i need to raise up the left one as it's not as high as the right one

4. continuing on the headlights, anyone know what bulbs we're using for the HID and also for the other light (the yellow one)? thinking of getting a super yellow light and a higher K HID

thanks guys

2; Fronts will go straight on; rears as far as I'm aware no one has tried. V35/Z33 brembo rears will.

3; There will be a manual trim adjustment; I would suggest removing the bumper skin and removing the headlight itself; easier than trying to muck around in the engine bay. With a little practice you can remove the bumper skin in less than 10 minutes.

Also check that the adjustment servos are both working; this could be the root cause.

4; 4200k D2R's are factory , so you could step up to a 6000k without going too silly. I believe iamhe77 is using 90/110w halogen globes in the high beam slots with no added relays; with no issues.

Too blue; light doesn't seem to throw very far and glare reflects back at you off every road sign in the known universe.

That and you look like a stupid teenager with an Excel and some Ebay HID's yo!
