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

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k.

      neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock.

      Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
