Hi all, According to the guy who did my last safety inspection I'll probably need to replace the front two shocks to pass next time.

Looking to get some idea of what I'm up for - I've heard of people on other boards paying up to $450NZD per side for the fronts and I'd really rather not spend that much if at all possible. I'm in New Zealand but I guess Australian prices are still reasonably relevant.

As I understand it the US market Infiniti G35 is essentially the same car and looking at US Websites it appears parts are much cheaper over there - does anyone know whether they're compatible with our Japanese markets cars?

Yes they are compatible.

I have some i could sell i guess, only 26,000km old when i took them off. but shipping would be alot - but cheaper than US !

Hi Andrew, I am looking for 2 front shocks for a 03 coupe. Hows the ride quality with these KYB? are they noticeably stiffer than stock?

On ebay I can see 2 types which is coupe with sports suspension and without. So which ones would suite our v35??

Regarding the link above they offer shipping through BONGO. Did you get your shocks shipped via them ?? how much was shipping if you don't mind me asking.

Thanks.

Similar ride to stock.

No idea, but I assume the sports version would be firmer.

No idea on shipping - never heard of Bongo - it was so long ago I have nfi how they were shipped (or how much it cost), but assume it was through UPS.

Thanks Andrew. One more question. what springs are you using with KYB? I was thinking to use Z springs with them.....

I did my front two shocks about a month ago myself. Paid about $400NZD all up for both the shocks and the set of spring compressors to do it. Took less than an hour to do the whole job. :D

Just rocked up to repco and gave them my plate number and they had the parts 3 days later.

If your budget is a bit lower, you can buy a full set of used (low KM) 350z shocks and springs for around $250 if you do some searching. most have under 50,000km when those guys upgrade. doesnt mean they'll be better than a new set, just comes down to personal preference

      Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ?

      HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
