You may have some issues although nobody could tell me what the difference is between the ARX and RS suspension.

I suspect the BC coilovers I bought may have been for the ARX as the rears were nothing like what I needed, but I never checked, I just modified them.

A friend has just bought an ARX (GOLD LIKE YOURS) and has been speaking to Just Jap as I believe they are having some made that will be available quite soon.

I will try to get some more specific details for you.

Cheers

Andy

I was recently speaking to a guy selling BC coilovers on Ebay, runs his business out of New Zealand. Told him of the issues scotty had with them, he made enquiries to BC, apparrently, they have updated the NM35 kit (sept or so) to correct the issues. He was witing for updated parts for his kits at the time. So presumably, any kit ordered now, would be correct.

Hope this helps, Dale

Thanks guys I've been looking on eBay as well and seen the same things but this guy in new Zealand is not responding to my emails and waiting for an answer back for tenabe ones guess I ll

have to just wait and see what happens

thanks again guys

Be careful which set if you buy for an ARX.

Yes Tanabe NF are adjustible... from -37mm to -78mm front and -38mm to -73mm rear WHEN FITTED TO AN RS, which means that on an ARX, you will be 77mm lower at the front from stock ride height when the Tanabe's are fully wound out!!

Maybe look for Bilstein or Nismo dampers and add a set of springs that are suitable for ARX.

do u think they will fit straight on without any mods

Do not know for sure.

I can't imagine that the setup would be any different, but you have to remember that the ARX is 40mm higher from factory than the RS/RX.

Can you trial fit?

They're not technically coil overs on the rear of an M35 as the springs are separate from the shocks. So only the front is true coil over and that's as per standard.

I think most of us are aware of the old "coilover" chestnut.

Given your expertise in the industry, would you happen to have a suspension solution for the original question (also for the RS/RX owners)?

There's a few people (myself included) who would welcome a local solution rather than resorting to importing parts ourselves...

I second that motion local is easiest way

but I'm leaning towards resetting the springs any positive or negative thoughts on this way I've been td that u get the same ride comfort as factory what do u guys think

cheers Damon

I had a set of Bilsteins fitted to the ARX but kept the original springs for ride height (wanted to keep the stock look plus find the tailgate is fairly low already). This generally fixed the washy ride but it now crashes over the slightest depression in the road. I guess that the softish stock springs are not matched to the stiff Billsteins.

Currently waiting to get a set of ARX height Pedders springs made thorugh Ben at Northshore. Apparently 30% stiffer springs.

The stiffer springs should also help cornering - perhaps what it will finally need is an adjustable set of sway bars like Andy has done.

the ride with the the Lowered Bilstein springs and sway bars is definatley firmer and can crash over some bumps but mind you with the stock setup the car was leaping over the road through the same pot holes. Also a big factor will be the tires you have on your car. the stiffness of the side wall is noticeable.

I guess for me the real test was from the seat of the pants of my wife. She thinks the ride is very good and has no problem with the stiffness of the set up and she is definable not into performance cars at all.

And best of all,, I love it. :)

On the topic of coilovers/suspension,

i have the tein kit on my car, it gets a little bouncy in the rear end still.. what do i do to fix this problem?

What kind of adjustment to they have? none? Height? Height & damper?

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
