Hey all, been lurking on all your tips and tricks on the forums for a while figured I'd join up...Got a few Q's too :)


Recommended Posts

G'day everyone, Jez from TAS here. I just bought an M35 Stag, loving all the info on the forum and frothing on the car but realising there is a hell of a lot to learn as well. Never really tinkered with cars or had anything that quick but I'm keen to dip my feet in to the deep world of JDM. The AR-X Stagea is stock other than a 3" Dump Pipe, high flow cat and R34GTT front brakes. Planning to grab a HDI intercooler kit soon followed by an ITSROM ECU re-flash shortly after.

Looking down the track a little, wondering how much people are paying for the Fujitsubo Legalis R system delivered these days and who is the best person to go through ?  I'm interested the KYB Lowfer sport shocks too, they are pretty cheap on the Japanese sites but postage seems to be pretty outrageous on these as well from the website generated quotes I'm seeing.

I'm also struggling to find a complete swaybar kit locally, as well as any underbody braces. Any links, price estimates, point in the right direction on these too would be much appreciated!!

Cheers heaps!!

    • I'll just leave this with, holy shit, those cars at work are awesome, and this will look wicked!
    • Could you modify this duct so instead it pushes the extra air through the radiator too and not down and out? For temps, I know it's not the greatest idea, but as a bit of a last resort, you could use a very intermittent misting spray onto the front of the coolers/rad. You don't want to be soaking them such that water is dripping off, but a small most on/off so that the water evaporates. That point of it constantly evaporating, rather than being soaked in water, will pull a LOT of heat out of the cooler. I'm literally thinking just the little mist sprayers for a garden from Bunnings. Being in a low humidity climate it will help even more! The other trick if you want to be ghetto is some shade cloth hung in the opening, and keep it wet. Pretty much now it's acting like an evap cooler on a house, but cooling the air you need to use to cool the radiator...   On a topic to think about too though, when air enters through the bumper, is it all nicely ducted from the edges of that opening back at a nice angle, or is it like most cars, and the edge of the opening just stops, and suddenly it's wayyy wider behind that? If it does the later, get it shrouded out at nice angles. When that opening changes too rapidly, it can actually cause a high pressure zone between the front bar and radiator, and limit air flow into that area, which means less air for cooling, as it effectively stalls the air, AND adds to drag...
    • Do you have any before and after photos? That's $200 just for the hydro blasting?
    • It doesn't look like there's a lot of options out there these days, and what's out there is performance oriented aftermarket stuff (with the GTR markup) I wonder if there are other cars with similar springs, after all its just a matter of length, diameter and stiffness. Alternatively, I did see coil spacers. Probably not the best option, but could be serviceable too.
