Hi all,

We've recently bought a m35 stagea which came with tein coilovers.

Given that this is the family wagon, these coilovers are tricky to adjust for a nice ride, and may be due for a rebuild.

I would prefer to replace it with the stock axis or rs4 suspension, or preferably the nismo aftermarket shocks and springs.

Does anyone have any of the above for sale? Willing to pay for courier for the right parts.

Thanks

Im in melbourne. Se suburbs specifically. What you got brick?

I am based in sydney so probably would be more Hassle then needs be.

My car has the factory upgrade suspension which sits 2" lower then stock but gives a really nice ride being the nissan upgrade set

Thanks all,

On this subject, which is the better option out of the nismo s tune and bc br coilovers?

Looking for a nice sporty ride with handling to suit. Not too firm, but not too mental either. This is the family wagon after all

Bc's. $1149 delivered in 2-5days.

S-tunes are the same price but you'll be waiting 2-3 weeks. I Don't know if they've changed them in the last couple of years, but the s-tunes in my r34 weren't height adjustable and didn't have the adjustable front tops.

Hi folks, I realize this is an old thread, but I have just bought an 04 ARX and it has leaking shocks. What options do I have in coil over or even performance air ride.. I'm wanting to maintain the ride height where I can, but stiffen up the lateral movement with sway bars and braces.. I'm hoping I'm not too late to the party and look forward to learning more and with any luck comparing notes :) cheers

BC Coilovers, Tein Coilovers, HKS Coilovers, MCA Coilovers, Nismo S-tunes. .....

Spoke to JustJap re the BC's and they told me with the ARX, the wheels will sit just off the guards at their most extended point.

On the others, I can't seem to find anything on whether they are ARX compatible. I really don't want it lowered much at all, if any... difficult aren't I :-/

Sway bars from SuperPro make a HUGE difference

Agreed, fully intend on replacing the bars once I get the car and figure out all the bushes that I need to replace in the one job... hope I can stretch the purse strings lol

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
