A lot of info about older model stageas but what suspension is the same as a 2002 M35 Stagea? Looking at getting an airbag setup and it's looking impossible to find anything.

I haven't heard of anyone bagging a stagea. There won't be any off the shelf kits but it wouldn't be hard to put a kit togeather. Just hit up a company that supplies and fits and get them to measure everything up.

Almost all the m35 guys just go coil overs cause there is off the shelf options and price really is pretty damn good. $1250ish for brand new bc coil overs.

I've heard you can buy kits from japan but I haven't personally seen any. I was thinking that some of the infinity models might match up and I'd be able to drop a set of bags right in without going custom and spending a fortune. I was thinking coilovers but for the look I want bags are gonna be better suited. Looks like I'll be going with a custom setup by the looks of it though.

I have installe dags in a few cars back in the days when they were super popular. there won't be much custom work required to fit bags unless you are wanting it to lay rail over big wheels, which yeah is ALOT of work haha.

really all it will need is a set of Strut style bags for the front and they you may be lucky enough to get a bold in bag for the rear otherwise it will be just couple of plates welded in the rear where the current springs sit. You shouldn't need any cutting etc.

Thanks for the help. I'm gonna talk to a few airbag shops to find out what I'm gonna need for my application. It has to lay about 2-3cm of the ground so hopefully there's something out there.

What size wheels do you plan on running? where you might be limited and where it may cost lots is if you need to modify your inner guards.

I haven't figured out 100% what size but I'm looking at 19x11.5 +8 rear and 19x10 +5 front. Will need to run camber and have abit of guard work done.

So I bought an MV35 from interstate and need to raise it to pass rwc here in Victoria. It has BC BR's however the back is already wound out all the way, so I'm guessing it has the 62.97.255.008 springs like the set I had bought for the old car. What I want to know is what height / part number springs do I need to be able to achieve standard height?

Does anyone know how to get in contact with sk? I would like to buy some bilstein's with the grooves cut or has someone else taken over what he was doing. I have read up to page 20 but then it kinda goes on repeat

I have 3 that I pulled out (1 of them blew up) with eibach springs in them free to good home but pick up only from maroubra.

    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
    • And yes with a full tank it will hit limiter free revving or driving 6B6CDF6E-4094-426D-A9CB-6C553475FE36.mp4
