hmm..yeah i'm going to try other places as well (with the execption of centreline - last time i spoke to them they just kept pusing for coilovers, nothing else - told him about SK's setup and still wouldn't bunch)

how much did you get yours Ryan?

(wish i had the cash and knew you had the SK Shocks - would have brought them of you...oh well too late)

Not making a judgement against MCA; everyone that I've heard from raves about them, but your comments about BC's just aren't true. I've been using them for more than 6 years now; damping and ride qua

i think they were 1200sh or so, got the receipt somewhere, but i had them overnighted as mine were blown, then got springs for 300 through the group buy(and got ripped on my shock return)

I have found Trutrack suspension very good to deal with in the past they may be able to help you. They stock Bilstein, Eibach and Whiteline stuff and should be able to sort you out with anything you need. They are in the city.

There website is www.trutrack.com.au

Well I'm still in the hunt for suspension - I've always wondered about the ISC N1 Coilovers. Has anyone got them installed and how are they.

I looked at the standard setup of 12kg on the front and 10kg on the rear is a bit harsh but Ryan at ISC told me then you can change them prior to purchase (either 6, 8, 10 or 12 kg on the springs)

what would be the best spring rate in your opinion

gonna guess at 8/6 - 8/7

i think 8/6 tho, seems like the front needs to be stiffer than the rear, and a 6kg spring is enough for a decent load in the back

~3.5/4 is far too soft!

just make sure he matches the valving too the spring rate!

I've read through this whole thread and haven't been able to find much info on rwd spec.

I was wondering if anyone can tell me if I have any other option other than to order either tein or s-tune set from japan.

Had a bloke look at it today he said there was nothin he could find for me. I'd either have to order from japan or maybe NZ.

Is this true? :sweat:

is it the same as 260rs but with softer front valving? or diff struts all together?

As GorGasm said, the front suspension is completely different between RWD and AWD Stageas...

Hmmm yes as I found out today. Well Gorgasm pm'd me some info, so maybe once I start to get mine sorted I could start a post for rwd spec stags...

Well apart from the obvious advice, which would be read this thread, and take a look at some other stuff on SAU (you can find a lot with a search for 'stagea wheel dimensions' etc), like this thread here - stagea wheel dimensions, I would hazard a guess and say that they will fit OK - I'm *sure* I've seen them on a few other stags in Japanese photos. But Mike will be able to tell you for sure. He seems to be the resident wheel-fittment guru.

so wat do we have for M35's???

Heaps in Japan...

Bilstein BTS (adjustable and non-adjustable)

Nismo S-tune

Tien Super Wagon (with or without the electronic control)

Aragosta

HKS Hipermax

Ai Star

RSR

etc...

I do not know if they are all compatible with ARX though.

Bilstein can be put on ARX (just ask Jetwreck & Andy65b)

Nismo cannot.

In Aus?

I only know that Pedders can make a "Sports Ryder Extreme XA" adjustable kit for any M35.

Oh yeah, and SK (when he was around) had a kit he would make up as well (big money though).

Hi everyone,

I've done my head in reading 1000s of suspension posts, looking for a suspension upgrade for the stagea (s1 rs4). I am wanting Bilsteins, I have the part numbers for those, they are not a problem. Front springs are no worries, but the rears....... what a pain.

I don't have standard springs, and the ones I have in there are unsuitable. And I don't want to go coilovers due to the legality issues.

Early on there was a post saying that the part number for the rears was 70191 (whiteline) which was great, until I found out that Whiteline have ditched spings from their line up. A quick phone around and I can't get any.

Where I'm at now is trying to find a set of springs to suit the stag. I don't want to increase the rate too much. Don't want to wait 4months for some teins to come in. And the SK group buys are unreliable at best at the moment.

What I need is either

-the specs of all 4 ofthe original springs (coil id, number, diameter, free height etc) so i can get a set made.

-confirmed part numbers from the sk group buy or what they are for (pm might be best)

-part numbers / info from someone who has had a set made up

Thanks guys/girls, muchly appreciated

Also, another quick question. If you change the shocks to bilsteins with stock springs, what height does it give you at the standard circlip position. Is there a change or are they dimentionally identical?

We're talking - B46-1471 for the front (r32 GTR)- B46-1916 for the rear (r33 gts-t)

Sama as SK group buy from what i can tell

I'm going to get lowered springs made up to suit the standard circlip groove.

Try and sort this spring mess out for good.

Just an update on rwd spec options. Have had lots of help from a few others who have rwd's. But I've found a shop in brizzy "southside supspension" who will order me in some bilstiens to fit the front for $350 a pop. Which seems like the cheapest option for quality supsension, so I think I'm gonna go with that.

      I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
