Hi Guys,

have got a 31 series 3 wagon for the girl and it is stock as a box..just bought a series 3 sedan with lowered king springs, wheels and a 2in lukey exhaust with extractors..

My question is..Will the springs out of the sedan fit the wagon and will the exhaust fit without mods..Any help appreciated, I just dont want to start pulling things apart if they wont fit..

Cheers,

John

what city are you from?

the best thign to do would be to ring spare parts sales.....

and i dont mean Nissan..... but an Automotive spare parts interpreter...

they will have a record of listings to suit exact year models etc.

so that way you could find out if the sedan or wagon are the same...

i know of a decent place in sydney, so let us know...

Hey all,

Just so everybody knows, went to do the swap this weekend.....the suspention set up in the sedan is different than the wagon.. the sedan has a spring over strut setup (coilover if you will) and the wagon has seperate springs and struts...just so anybody knows for future reference.....i know that EVERBODY uses the search button ....lol...

Front springs will go in no probs, rears different , as you found. Exhaust should be quite similar, wheelbase is identical, but wagon body is slightly longer, exhaust tips will end up further under the car, also, drivers side rear floor is slightly different, but on the exhaust side, they should be close to the same.

    • Are those 1000cc side feeds? If so, that's part of your problem. I have 1480cc and they idle at stoich on 98RON, and all the way to E85. Also your coil packs.....
    • Update for the sake of closure   Ended up getting the intercooler piping all sorted, new plugs and yellow jacket coils, and she was idling mint until it warmed up while I was bleeding the cooling system. Found the misfire to be localised to cyl 3 by unplugging coilpacks, ran a compression test, that checked out, then decided to get a mate to check if that spark plug was firing out of the motor. Upon cranking it over, with the injectors disconnected, the car actually fired and ran on a couple cylinders and heaps of fuel came out the top of cyl 3 I'd say that injector's either spraying incorrectly or spraying far too much, which is fine as I'm planning on replacing them anyway I'm planning on making about 250kW on flex fuel, and have a set of 1000cc injectors from ozautosport, obviously overkill but I'm planning on building the motor and running more boost further down the line, do you reckon they'd be too big for a smooth idle on 98? Thanks for the replies gents, much appreciated
    • I'm confused. You said you want to "remove the clear coat from most panels" but it sounds like you are actually doing a full respray? Few random things to add -  If you chase the blistered paint with 120 grit, I can almost guarantee you'll chase it down to bare metal (that's fine). But if you paint the car from here, you'll have nice little indents where ever the blistered paint was. The new paint won't magically level out the low areas, you need to fill them. Which leads me to the main point I wanted to add, make sure the whole car is flat before you paint it. All those areas with blistered paint you sanded out, make sure to fill them and triple check they are flat with a block guide coat. I'd also check the whole car is flat with a large block and guide coat but yeah up to you if you want to go that far.   
    • 300hp (225kw) is barely outside the standard turbo's range with a bit of extra boost in it (200ish). If you are going to change the turbo you should aim for 250-300kw (330-400hp) to make the expense worthwhile
