New Stagea M35 Owner

[mxfly]

I really dig these rims but I have doubts they will clear the front calipers. Look at the amount of space behind the face of the rim, there's not much clearance there for M35 calipers.

Actually I just found out those rims are made for Toyota Harriers. They have tiny calipers up front so my guess could be right.

Heres some pictures guys!

very nice!! glad to see there is another Aero Selection RX in the country! Most of them appear to be RS models.

was weird seeing yours with the 2 din console. that area SHOULD have been woodgrain, but looks like it has been swapped out to suit the double din.......

hey guys,

I put on my koya kahn 20" wheels today...looks really nice.

also bought an apexi air panel filter too.

My stagea also has adjustable coilovers front and rear....I realized tonight

that the rear has the shocker and coil separated..

The rear needs to be a tad lower...just wonder how to do this...never adjustabed coilovers before.

I will get a photos up soon!

cheers michael

Most of the aftermarket suspension for the M35 stagea with an adjustable height is done through a threaded section at the base of the spring.

Have a look on the base of the spring.

Cheers

Most of the rear spring adjusters use C spanners, I have a few different sizes if you need to use one. Did the adjusting spanners come with the car in one of the rear compartments?

The threaded part will probably sit above the spring with 2 locking rings, just take the wheel off and wind it up.

Make sure the rear shock still has full travel and doesnt bottom out when you put the weight back on it.

thanks boys....I put new Pillar plastics in today i got from Japan...if anyone wants some that has tweeter spots you can get them off me cheap

as for the HKS muffler that will be for sale soonish....make me an offer...first reasonable offer i will accept and hold it for you

De-badge the rear tonight also...looks allot nicer!

Put in an apexi air filter too...found out its the same panel filter for s13,s14,s15 and skylines etc

thanks for the info on the coilovers too, I dont have any C spanners...cant find any in the boot, shattered!

Will a big flat head screwdriver work decent or f**k the slot on the locking tab?

You can bash away on your car with screwdrivers and hammers if you like , but you're better off to go and buy the correct tools for the job, c-spanners work so much better and don't damage anything.

Up to you really.

[180JDM]

lol no worries, anyone know any joints you can buy these from locally? autobarn or something?

cheers

[Daleo]

I'd measure the dia of the collars, and give just jap, otomoto or someone who imports coilovers a call, see if they will sell you the spanners. Most coilover kits seem to have very similar hardware, several different brands coming out of the same factories, I would be surprised if you can't get hold of something suitable. Alternatively, you can buy proper C-spanners,(forged steel, chrome plated), not just profile cut steel, from most reputable tool suppliers (not supercheap, etc).

I could make you a pair if you like, its just a bit of filing. Other than that, a good toolshop will definitely order them in.

Here is a new pic!

Ahhh..... If you don't like the idea of Stagea's on this web site why are you reading about them..?

So by your idea's all Nissan's that are not skyline's should not be on this web site.

I am glad the administrators of this site are not as narrow minded as you.

Maybe stageas with an RB in it is justified or we might as well start calling it nissanpathfinder .com

Great idea! Are you offering to set it up?

So are you saying the VL commodore is ok too, as long as its an RB30? Oh thats right the Patrol had the same motor.

Sorry we are taking up your valuable forum space Guvna, but if you refrain from clicking on the "Stagea" link, we will cease to exist.

So I suppose but that rational the R35 with its VR engine and no recognition of being a Skyline should not be on here either.

I never realized by allowing other performance Nissan's a site, it was hurting your poor little ego. You must have been put to shame on the raod by a M35 for you to feel so inadequate.

more pics of the muffler please

LOL.....TOSSER!!!!

Take your RB and shove it moron!. I suppose you went all over the rest of the forum slagging off other Nissan makes as well?

Why don't you go and start you own WEB page "www.simpleton.com.au" And no, I'm not joking!!!!!

Want to shit stir any more TOSSER? Or maybe you could start a "How my R33GTst was originally an auto and I just found out because I am an idiot post"

enough said......I'll report you to the moderators next time around.

P.S. Just a heads up....a couple of them own Stagea's as well.

[180JDM]

I will have more pics for you too
