I've been searching the past few days on the most common mods for M35's. So far ive come up wth these. There are a decent selection of parts to choose from, but obviously not as much as your more common imports.

1. Intercooler kits:

Blitz - no

HKS - no

ARC - available but bloody expensive

Trust - V and R-Spec kits available.

2. Exhausts

Blitz - no

HKS - yes, Demoda

Trust - no

Fujitsubo - yes, few models available

Kakimoto - yes, Hyper Mega N1+

Tanabe - yes

3. Intake kits

Blitz - yes, Sonic Power

HKS - only for VQ35DE motor

Trust - yes, Airinx

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.

He is the man making them for my car...... :(

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.

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

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      Man, different parts but the same numbers is terrible @dbm7! And it doesn't help that most online shops don't list the part numbers at all. They just give a list of compatible models...

      Slow when hot could also be because its getting more dynamic compression, OR things are getting a bit tighter once it is all expanded. If it were an earthing issue, typically I'd expect you to have it have issues all the time. Unless it's really a combination of both things. Where the higher compression, and things being a bit tighter, is giving that bit of extra load and you do need a slight clean up on the cables/connections.

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      By dbm7 · Posted

      Yeah, this is one of the most annoying things about nissan part numbers... I've got an unrelated example... Image is of the AT output shaft ~ they have the same part#, but clearly the shaft on the left is beefier design to that on the right ...the difference (essentially) is the 'lighter' shaft on the right, is for engines up to RB25DE (this includes RB20 variants) : the shaft on the left is for RB25/26DET(T)....are they interchangeable? Yes...but obviously one shaft is going to be stronger than the other...and, the lighter shaft is around USD115, but the heavier shaft closer to USD150...same part#... ...epc-data usually tells a tale ~ the amayama listing for 39100-23U60 has a note "Longest side is between 60 and 105 cm" ; no such info is there for 39100-23U70 ...and given the great disparity in price between the 2 parts, it makes me at least curious (to the point of caution) where the 'extra money' went? ...ie; these 2 parts have a cost difference that (to myself at least) isn't explained by 'plastic boot'...ie; with amayama there's AUD700 price difference ...plastic versus rubber?...I'm not seeing it like that...and 60cm ~ 105cm...??...that's a huge disparity....something hinky going on here... I'd try searching by VIN, not model... /2cents

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      By Duncan · Posted

      I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      One year is a bit concerning. Did you try contacting GSP? It says 5 year warranty on the box if I remember correctly. I'm also running their driveshafts on my S2 Stagea.   You could check the part numbers on Amayama for your year. Here's the link for my 1998 which gives the 39100-23U60 part number. Well, that and 39100-23U70. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/trans/391 What does it say for yours?
