If Z33/V35 coilovers fit M35's, does it mean that Z33/V35 lowering springs will fit intoi M35 standard shocks?

They'll fit but it'll be no good; theyre not designed for the weight.

i've been reading and researching about v35 coilovers and if they will fit m35. I quoted the above posts just to know more about it, can anyone please calrify, cause if the spring rate is the issue, is that mean I can change springs and retain the dumpers right? - since that my Sister is selling her V35 with BC coilovers

I might just buy this from her and install it to my ARX -

sure the springs will fit, but they will be the wrong spring rate for an M35

unless the Z33/V35 is AWD, the coilovers will NOT fit. the front suspension setup is different to accomodate the AWD drivetrain.

Hmm...I was watching Inside West Coast Customs and in one of their cars they were installing Pedders coilovers....I checked out the website and for shits and giggles I wanted to check if there is one for a Stagea

surprise surprise there is for the S2 I believe

1996-2001 Stagea WGN34 Wagon - 16-0174 Extreme XA Coilover Kit

wonder if anyone has used them??

Probably worth reposting this here:

From this thread (the stagea suspension thread) I gather a shock meant for a R33 GTR will fit the RS4.

Is it going to work well as a stock comfort replacement? I figure it would be stiff going on the GTR, but the stagea is heavier.

Any good local places to pick up replacements from?

auto's need r33 gtr front and r33 gtst rear shocks

manuals use 33 gtr all round

you can use the gtr stuff, but the valving is different and also worth noting is that getting stuff out of japan could land you near the cost of a new set of coilovers (which can be rebuilt, eg BCs are $75/shock for new inserts)

Thanks, Ive already fixed the rear shocks up with some new KYB's.

Im open to new coilovers on the front, but maybe in future. Need to get the car back on the road.

When you say the valving is different, what is the on-road effect going to be?

was wondering if any of the m35 drivers have used the cusco suspension.. otherwise il just stick with the proven bc's just thought id try be different

I'm sure the quality will be fine; all their stuff seems to be. The picture is a stock image; that kit isn't for an NM35.

I did notice the listed rear spring rates are quite light; 5kg/mm. I'm pretty sure the BC rear spring rates are around the 9kg/mm.

Something to think about if you like to load your car up, or tow a trailer.

Cheers, Dale.

Any more info on that? Ball joints arent likely to be squeaky. Things like sway bars can make very loud creaking noises at the rubber mounts. Worn ball joints make dull knocking sounds if the ball is moving slightly around in the socket. Usually noticeable on rough roads where everything in the suspension is moving around slightly but constantly.

    • 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
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
