also, Which ones to get. Br type Rs, or VS ones? What does everyone recommend?

Oh and spring rates... I'm not looking for anything too hard! Does anyone have a link to the specifications?

What is the range of height adjustment for the Stagea? I can't seem to find it here! (I am tired though.. so be nice if it's obvious)

In BC's own material they claim to have 100mm of adjustment from std height.

There is not enough room under the rear to get that low. I was told they just select the appropriate spring rate for the vehicle, they did a pretty good job with it but im sure you could ask them for a particular rate if you were going to track it.

There was a thread in suspension, a guy with a GTR asked for lighter spring rates than they normally supply in their external reservoir kit, and dampers were revalved to suit at no extra cost. So their service is pretty comprehensive, I don't think I've heard any negative feedback about them.

They are great quality to look at. I think because they are made by the company who manufacture a big brand and put the big brand label on.

Anyway, mine came with 10kg fronts and 12kg rears. cant comment on the ride as yet due to broken car

They have a firmed spring rate.

Having been a passenger and driver in Scott's M35 with the "cheaper" BC's, I can tell you that the ride is very nice for a daily.

Stay flat around corners and absorbs bumps easily without jolting through the seats.

all the 4WD suspension is the same. ARX is higher is all.

They dont recommend RS/RX suspension on ARX due to the larger rolling diameter wheels will foul the guards when you go that low

however, the BCs give you plenty of height adjustment to overcome that

Sorry for being a pain, my nets playing up so takes awhile to load otherwise i'd search.

Two suspension shops have told me 350Z and M35 are same coilovers, how ever Nissan are saying no.. Looking at a pair of Bilsteins for 350Z/350GT I don't see why they wouldn't fit, but would like to confirm first. Has anyone tried/succesfully fitted 350Z/350GT shocks?

Thanks

P.s for a RWD M35

I think you'll find that the fronts will be the same as a V35, but the rears are obviously different from both the V35 and the Z33.

So that must mean V35 350GT coupe are different to V35 sedans etc?

The box of for the bilsteins I had were labelled V35 and Z33

I dont know if anyones confirmed, I read the whole thing and couldnt find a direct answer for the ARX.

I took Scottys old M35 Springs and Shocks. These Springs are for the V35 Skyline. The Shocks are exactly the same and the tyres now go *just* under the guard on all four. My exhaust hangs pretty low and I've had no problem with scraping, sideways it over the bumps :).

no rubbing touching funny noises nothing. The rides still abit soft lol definitely not like standard anyway. I found my rear suspension to be abit wobbely like though, but found that problem to be a snapped sway bar link will get around to it soon.

IMO it works fine. and being an ARX the body kit isnt as low as the Aero Kit or other kits. I like it, im not gonna put it on a track so I didnt see the reason to adjustables.

    • 49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.
    • Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf
    • Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.
    • Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.
    • Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
