Hey all, I'm really interested in purchasing coilovers but looking for a true coilover setup in the rear, and not a seperate shock and spring setup. I know where too buy coilovers with that setup, but just can't seem too find a true coilover setup for the Nm35 stagea, if anyone knows of any please let me know it would be a great help!

Do you know if the upper (and lower, for that matter) shock mount is capable of carrying all the load that would normally and properly be carried by the top spring perch?  It's seldom the case that cars with separate springs and dampers are intended to carry the full weight of the car on the shock mounts.

I agree with Ben and gtsboy but mca does make what you are asking about for the m35. They obviously believe the mounting points are strong enough. Personally i wouldn't do it, leave the suspension design as was originally engineered by Mr Nissan.

Try searching for 350Z coilover conversion kits. They come with an arm to delete the spring perch.

I do think the strut area is strong enough to support the car, however being a wagon you probably wouldn't want to put 500kgs in the back or tow a trailer.

      If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.

      This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).

      I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.

      You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?

      Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
