Well I'm not planning on lowering it for the time being, I may decide to one day maybe but I have already scraped the front bar comming in and out of some places (they have been a little steep though) and I do take the car on holidays and camping etc so I will probably just fill the guards with wheel size rather than lowering it.

But if the standard Nissan ones will cost more than the Bilsteins (and I'm guessing there is no aftermarket equivilent that are properly valved for Stagea's and not just GTR / GTS-T combo kits) then will the Bilsteins be fine with the standard springs (this may seem like a dumb question, but I'd rather be sure as suspension isn't one of my stronger points :) ).

Thanks again guys.

will the Bilsteins be fine with the standard springs

Yes, I ran mine for several months like that. I used the additional circlip grooves on the Group Buy Bilsteins to lower it, around 24 mm worked OK.

:P cheers :)

I dunno where this belongs

But

Any S chassis or Skyline diferential works in the stagea

I put an S13 differential in my stagea

ALl i had to do was change the input shaft for the driveshaft

and the rear cover

THen just bolt it up

you do need to find shorter bolts for the front two mounts as it will mount directly to your subframe now.

Hi SK,

what if the stock runs out for the blistein for the stagea? Will i be able to get hold of it later on down the road? Say next year?

Also howu much in differnce in price between a whiteline and einach springs? Much difference in performance?

man im tellin you

my roads suck

like seroiusly dude

we have potholes, dips, crazy inclines everywhere

8/6 in a stagea is great

8/6 is too soft in a 180 to me so it is hella comfy in a car that weighs 1000 lbs more

i hit a bumpy road the other day traveling like 120kph and the car when all over the road!!! The suspension that i have now is JECS. And guess who OWN JECS?! Hitachi!! i think.

But yea i want to know whether with 8/6 will cause the car to go all over the road when it hit bumpy road at high speed?! Thats why Sk set up os very tempting. But the setup that i want is the one with eibach springs which costs like A$2.2k. That will have to wait till i saved up first.

your springs are like 40% of the equation

the shocks are the big thing

no matter what spring rate you have, if your shocks dont haev good bound and rebound dampning its horrible ride

well

tein is a good company becuase their valving and spring rates are more um.....less extreme

their valving isnt as harsh, and spring rates are normally 1-2k lower than other brands.

nope

all it takes is a few items

I tHINK the lower bolt is 19mm on front and rear (i think)

top 2 on the rear are 12mm

top 3 on the front are 14mm

and take it off

(after you take off wheels obviously)

    • Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ? 
    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
