I'm not trying to be a smart arse by this comment but I am confused! I gather you are all talking about setups after coil overs/lowering.

A/ Are your trying to sort out the best tyre wear setup?

B/ Are you trying to work out the best handling setup?

If you are trying to work out the best handling setup your wasting your time unless you get your caster done followed by corner weighting, ride height and then the wheel alignment. Then go to a track and set up your shocks and sway bars to your driving style.....you also need to look at your bump steer...then back to the wheel alignment giving them feedback on how your car was acting!...just a short summary of what you need to do imo!

All of this will be irrelevant in 10,000km as your chassis will have changed anyway because more than likely you have no bracing.

P.S. This is why I hate fully adjustable coil overs for street unless your after stance that is!

Just trying to add input......I know these wagons handle.....but its to what extreme you want them I guess!

Probably a one shot deal but I could do another if enough people want them. Since I'm sorted with a set I would probably charge an extra few bucks per 2 sets to cover my time organizing it. It would roughly be about $60 delivered to Adelaide for 2 sets in a GB.

Sorry one other question:

Are the bolts you replace the ones that are offset?

Obviously the added adjustment in the SPC kit comes from the fact you are elongating the bolt but are the replacement bolts, if any, also offset?

:)

For me it's getting a correct alignment for tyre wear on the street. I myself don't see these cars as a track car being so heavy and auto, so I wouldn't go that way, others might like to track them though.

I just found that running my ride height at 350mm F & R I had basically maxed out the rear adjustment and was still running 2deg neg camber. These SPC bolts gave the extra I needed with a bit left over.

That arm won't fit the M35, it will only fit the V35. M35 has the mount in the arm for the shocker to bolt to it where as the V35 shocker does not bolt to that arm.

The cradle in your pic is an M35 cradle as you can see the bolt still in the factory arm where the shocker bolts to it. Notice that a/market arm has no place for the shocker mount bolt.

This is the factory M35 rear camber arm modified in Japan by a company called Nagisa Auto and cost 85,000 yen in Japan, so well over $1000AUD via Streeter or Import Monster.

Hey Craig, nice summary of suspension setup. For me the lowering was 90% for looks (that's one reason I went softer springs on the BC's) & so these bolts & other bits we're all discussing are to help with tyre wear, for me anyway. The handling on my car is more than adequate for street driving with what's been done to date.

I'll talk to the bloke in the morning, since he told me he had a set on his NM35. If it ends up they don't fit, I'll be ordering a set of the SPC bolts if anyone else missed the first order?

This is the M35 castor rod. http://www.japaneseimportspares.com.au/itemdetails/28594

You would use the bush that Craig linked that is offset to gain more castor.

So the bush that Craig linked needs to be pressed onto the rod?

The old bush would need to be pressed out. I'm not sure if the new bush can be pushed in by hand, I could easily do this with the super pro front upper arm bushes, pressed out with a press and pushed back in by hand. Otherwise you would need to press them in.

If you have time just remove the castor rods yourself then drop them off to get the bushes removed/installed and then refit the arms yourself. It should cost less than $100 to get the bushes done.

Ok there's a few guys keen so I'm going to place an order. Except when Paul ordered them they were $21, now the web site is saying $48.82?

Anyway, if you're keen, let me know and let me know how many sets you want.

So far I think we've got:

impul535w x 2

Ironpaw x 2

If there's anyone else let me know, probably order late next week depending on the exchange rate.

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
