I thought I'd dig this thread up a little as its somewhat relevant to what I need at the moment.

Is this the BC kit that was mentioned earlier? http://justjap.com/store/product.php?produ...at=0&page=1 Im looking to get either new springs or a coilover setup for my recently purchased baby M35, however Im doing it for the opposite reason to most; my car is sitting too low for me ! Id say the front lip is about 8cm off the ground and Im making far too much contact with every day obstacles, add in to the equation that I cant even get it up my drive way and it starts to make a little sense.

Ive got a few guys here in Adelaide chasing up parts for me, but I figured some of you might have suggestions as to an easy way to get my ride height up to something closer to standard. Is a new set of coilovers going to be the easiest way to get it done or are there some 'standard' springs out there which will actually fit properly and raise it up a little?

Hi Dunc, I recently fitted a set of BC BR coilovers to my Stagea, these were updated to correct some issues with the earlier designs. Most of the issues have been sorted, leaving you only having to re-use your original rear shock top mount. If you do buy, ensure that what you're buying is updated, not old stock, otherwise you'll have issues. The update is from September 09 onwards.

Regarding ride height, the BR coilovers that I bought could easily be set at factory height, as the rear springs are now longer; there were no issues fitting the fronts originally. The ride is quite nice and the finish is quite neat for the dollars you pay.

Hope this helps, Dale.

Hey Dale, Thats fantastic news - thankyou! If my mechanics aren't able to find anything I'll let the know about the BC BR's and go from there. Fingers crossed they do source something locally so I can get it done asap though ;)

Did you source anything locally? I am wanting to upgrade the suspension too and Iam in Adelaide. Who is fitting the suspension for you?

Cheers

Also, which ones from JustJap to buy?

BR Type RS Series or V1 Design VS Series ?

I ended up puttin in V35 springs (These are the same as 350z springs), but Im still trying to work out how to get more height - my body kit just sits damn low. front and back is at ~12cm or so now, and whilst it makes a huge difference theres still a lot of stuff I cant negotiate without scraping. The BR's are the ones to go with if you're buying from teh BC range, however they wont get me any higher than stock.

I just had my local mechanics fit the suspension, its all pretty straightforward / standard :cool:

The AR-X springs should sit me up ~40mm compared to stock, yeah? If so - definitely keen to give them a whirl! :down: I'll shoot you a PM.

      Meh. I "see" a typo above, that should have been "sell".

      Nismo copper mix twin “pull” pedal height engagement

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      The clutch pedal has a procedure for adjustment. This can only be done after you are 100% sure the system is absolutely free of air bubbles. You must bleed the clutch master cylinder first, then the "separation pipe" which is the clutch damper line, then the operating cylinder as detailed in the service manual. Also, you must fully depress the clutch pedal between shifts. Just because you can't feel it grabbing does not mean the input shaft is truly decoupled from the crank. At high RPM clutch plates are vibrating and moving around, you need to give it the best possible chance of success. On the BCNR33 Nissan revises these adjustment procedures slightly but not by much: I would be careful with trying to play games with these adjustments. As for the Nismo operating cylinder they say a lot of things. In practice the twin plate clutch needs less movement on the clutch fork to disengage because the whole stackup of the flywheel + friction plates + pressure plate is much taller. Personally if you find that the clutch still disengages too high at the top of the travel I would try the Nismo operating cylinder. Make sure to follow the air bleed procedures.

      Thank you for the links. I’m going to go with the 6pin plug you used. next step is rust treating re painting dash support bar and steering column then the 6pin cradle plug when it arrives in the mail.

      I don't how much the car makes a difference or whether it is just a question of gearbox and clutch. On mine it's fine. Pull type Nismo coppermix twin (standard, not competition) on the 5 speed in my Stagea. OEM slave cylinder. Bite point is a few cm off the very bottom of the pedal. Clutch pedal all the way down to put in gear, and when heading off at the lights, there's a tiny bit of nothing and then it starts biting. And fully engaged before the pedal is all the way released. There's a bit of play at the top where the pedal does nothing anymore. Are you in Australia @ck_chino? If you are set on using a Nismo slave cylinder I have one new-in-box at home. Ordered it together with the clutch but didn't get it fitted. We can work something out if you want it

      I am using a pull nismo coppermix twin in an r34 getrag box, had both the standard slave and  then the nismo one. Adjusted pedal to get bite point how I wanted , it is on the higher side, but would fully disengage past half way down.  I also read that the nismo slave won't work but I had no issues with the stroke, might become one later as clutch wears but 2+ years of happy motoring so far.  Take the above as one input only, specially as my setup is a bit unique in that I am using an S15 clutch master , cefiro clutch pedal, custom braided clutch line. Lots of variables at play.
