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.

    • I don't think the shuffle can damage the turbos. It only happens at low shaft speeds and loads. It's just annoying (to some people - others are tickled by the effect) and it quite possibly reduces spool performance a little bit.
    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly.
