i just picked up some 'KillerBee' coilovers super cheap, ill report back once they are installed :)

If you're still alive. I am so careful when it comes to important parts, i will always save extra money and buy really good quality things.

What about Nismo? They use Bilstein to manufacture the kits to Nismo's specs

Have you thought about BC's?

The M35 kit is pretty damn nice and great value for money so I can't see why that wouldn't be the case for the V35 kit

Teins, while nice, are a bit overpriced IMO.

If money is no object, go get some Aragosta or Ohlins.

I'm having a fantastic day. But my previous comment was just stating that i haven't heard of the brand that you mentioned before. Sorry if it was offensive.

I wrote a massive rant at you. But realistically it's a fair call. The ones I got have reviewed reasonably well. For the price I got them at they are worth a shot.

I would get BC if I was paying full price for them. Good value coilovers

I asked this question earlier today on a V36 facebook forum, general consesus was -

Tein with edfc - freaking wicked really, I would love this set up or KW. If your budget is a bit tighter the BC BR's are the best bang for your buck. Aragosta with roberta cup kit also got a mention.

BC's got a good wrap as being cost effective and good quality.

As for me, poor mans option of Tein s tech springs are probably what I will end up with.

For roughly the same price listed in the link above by iamhe77, i reckon Charles will get them freighted to you with a rear camber kit/toe bolt thrown in - http://g35driver.com...-coilovers.html

Ive got BC BRs in a sedan, got the dampening adjusters at the top which on the rear poke up behind the headrest because of extension thingys saves you taking out your back seats to adjust them. People are truely supprised by the lack of body roll and pitch. Car doesnt squat under hard acceleration.

I did a S**t load of research on the subject a couple of years ago. Found good threads on G35driver

Out of it the opinion is Aragosta, Ohlins, Bilstein, KW, Tein in that order for quality of the above mentioned manufacturers

As for ideal setup & spring rates for Australian roads the Bilstein P9 & 10 were best suited.

I went for the Ohlins as I don't want to be replacing parts or rebuilding them in 12mths and I got a good deal :)

BC's don't get much of a mention

FWIW quoted from G35Driver:

KBee

Coilover: KBee

Style: OEM

Spring Rate: 12K/12K (Swift Springs)

Drop potential: Frame Banger

Adjustability: Height is as easy as any coilover. Dampening for the front is easy, The rear needs to be off the car.

Stiffness: Ridiculous on full still. Pretty comfortable on full soft.

Harshness: You can feel the road beneath you, but you don't hate it.

Price point: These are extremely rare JDM coilovers. They are only available in Japan. @$1200 US

BC BR Series Coil overs, big review on my350z, i have them and track the car + hills and they are great.

Unless you race or have massive money in other suspension parts why pay more? You can then use what you save for sway bars, end links, front and rear sub chassis bracing etc..

i have bilstein coilovers with hyperco springs,i'd say theyre a good compromise for street,winding road,theyre well dampened and the ride is very good but still firm and responsive on turn in.although personally i'd go for something a bit firmer for regular track work.

previously had Zeal Function Xs on another car and was VERY happy with them,excellent for circuit driving but still pretty nice on the road,well dampened,no crashing ride.Not sure if zeal have a kit for V35 or if you have to adapt the z33 kit?

from previous research i recall good opinions on Ohlins and Aragosta also-i think RHDjapan have aragosta kits at a reasonable price :)

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      By Kapr · Posted

Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      By Duncan · Posted

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
