4. Coilovers

HKS - yes, Hipermax LS+

Cusco - yes, Zero 1, Zero 2

Tein - yes, Basic Wagon, GT Wagon, Super Wagon

Tanabe - yes

Aragosta - yes but hugely expensive

JIC - yes

GReddy - no

I've got someone reputable in Sydney that does exhaust systems for the M35 Stagea. Good price as well as good quality...also sounds good. Lot cheaper than Trust ect...

Have you got any prices on the coil over's or intercooler's?

Might also mention these:

Front (approx $300-350)and rear(approx $140 to $180) bars:

Nice one! I'd be keen for one of those front strut braces.

And how does the exhaust sound? Did you notice any performance gains by putting that on?

cheers

Oh yeah, coilovers start from about $1400 for the Tanabes and they can go right up to 4-5 grand for the Aragostas.

The intercooler kits from Trust is about $1150 upwards.

Exhaust note is great...slight motor idle sound off stall travelling...RB26 sound mixed with a V6 instead of straight 6. I found a slight pickup improvement without a good filter...then I put a good filter on and removed the inspection cover on the airbox and it picked up everywhere....feels like a different car now....makes a nice growl from standing start.

I am getting some information on Bilstein coilovers for the NM35. Thay are available, just trying to verify first if the valve rates are any good. I also should have some information on new swaybars soon also.

I found with the inspection cover off the airbox economy is a bit worse. Trying back on now to see there is any improvement plus a little more down low grunt.

Are you going to the meet on Thursday? Sounds like there is plenty of info to swap.

Be interested in the price for the Bilstein setup....they were a bit to expensive for my last car.

I am pretty sure I am going on Thursday. Permission was granted....not that I had to ask in the first place...sort of....lol!

I find the ARX feels a bit too floaty of me, especially when i've come from imports that have much firmer ride. So a nice set of Teins would be ideal, not sure which model but something that's a bit firmer than stock but not too stiff. And an EDFC would be nice to have to control the dampers remotely.

I had Bilsteins on my last car and didnt like them. Was way too harsh. Perhaps it wasnt the ideal coils for street use.

Most of the coil overs I have found so far are only for the non ARX model. ie, they are a lower ride height. I would like to keep the ride height and get better handleing which I am told is possible. The problem with the Bilsteins is that they are only made for the Jap market and what I am trying to find out is if the valving is set by Japan or Germany. If Jap, they are likely to be very stiff, if German they should be a lot better.

Suspension-wise, SydneyKid often recommends that a new and uprated set of sway bars can easily make the biggest improvement to the handling of a car.

Got the new swaybars today........ yeah. This is so much better. Have a look at the new M35 suspension thread.

[Terminal]

Um, i'm not sure if you guys know this, but the M35 doesn't have coilovers on the rear, the spring and shock are separate...

We know, just easier to type that than 2 different types of suspension.

Ah ok, just making sure no one is ordering coilovers for their M35 rear end...

You will find that most of the guys here that have M35's are located in the Sydney area.

I believe Jetwreck has a custom 3"

NRVOUS has a custom dump/front pipe with a Fujitsubo rear pipe. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...t&p=4253896

mxfly, I believe, has the same as NRVOUS

KNG35M has a custom

.... off the top of my head, I am sure there are more. Try sending them a PM (I presume you want to see the exhausts)

I spoke with the guys from liverpool exhausts recently and they sked me to bring the car back so they can jig up a complete full system as they have had a few enquiries. I've just had a friend who's purchased a BLK ARX with some Jap coilovers (looks tuff) & he's keen for a full system so I might get the guys at Liverpool to do a full system for him and we'll have a price range to work off.

They would also be cool with a group buy discount for SAU members if the numbers stacked up; so if there is more of you out there considering dumps or fullsystems for NM35's then we can initiate a xmas special.

Cheers
