I got RS-R suspension which came with the car from Japan. Its quite stiff on sydney road but cornering is flat shows no sign of body roll with rather heavy 1660kg.

Most ppl on the infiniti forum in the states recommend

Tein SSP (value)

KW V3 Variant (Expensive but one of the best)

I've got both the KW V3 (on the car now) and the RS-R Black (in the garage)

The RS-R was pretty stiff and quite low for me, so I upgraded. KW V3 is pretty awesome, no where near as harsh as the JP-spec coilovers

If you want my set of RS-Rs, PM me

Hi guys,

I'm after something more firm while still being comfortable.

My V36 is quite 'roll-y', especially compared to my previous R34 which had an extensive HKS setup with shocks and all kinds of polyurathane bushes etc by the previous owner. It's amazing how much more enjoyable the car was with sporty suspension.

I put a Whiteline front sway bar in for $200 (bar - I supplied) + $200 (labour) and it made a good difference, but still not quite enough.

1. How would those with the KW V3 rate the upgrade?

2. What is the approx labour to fit these shocks if supplied?

3. Does anyone know the life expentance of the factory shocks - mines a Dec 07 / 55,000 km... what condition are my factory ones by now?

Cheers!

i have Zeal function coilovers in my V35, very happy with them as a compromise between handling and comfort. the car is used for trackdays but also daily driven. they are a good mid-level coilover providing great performance and quality (made in japan) for reasonable price. they are also available for your application (V36s) with various spring rates and valving.

'what coilovers' is a very broad question without knowing what requirements you have..do you want progressive or fixed rate springs? steel or aluminium construction? remote reservoir? are you using the car for motorsport?street or r-compound tyres?what budget?

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
