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

Where are you located? I might be interested in a trade

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

Ive got a spare set of AR-X Bilstein shocks with King Springs. PM me if your interested

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 copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
