Blitz_boy Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Hi guys, I've just got my 2003 Stagea ARX. I'm lovin' it but it has the common thud that comes form worn castor bushes? I've read through the G35driver forum and have found that Nissan revised the Torion Rod and it has a new part number. Can some confim if the M35 uses the same torsion rod as a V35 Skyline? The part number's for the V35 are: Right side: 54468-AC70F Left side: 54469-AC70F Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/330530-m35-torsion-rods/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
zei20l Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 just replace the bushes. get some nolathane or some other brand that does them. they probably can come with an offset centre to add more castor Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/330530-m35-torsion-rods/#findComment-5368697 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blitz_boy Posted July 27, 2010 Author Share Posted July 27, 2010 I was also thinking of just changing the bushes but no one was has a part number for the Stagea. I guess they can pull out the bush and measure it up. Would the bush be the same as the V35??

lachlanw Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 its nissan . they are lazy as f**k , all the skyline and silvia ranges only have two different sized castor bushes and they are so close you can get away with using either Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/330530-m35-torsion-rods/#findComment-5368877 Share on other sites More sharing options...
zei20l Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 it probably is the same as a V35/Z33. but im not 100% on that. we have AWD and the front suspension setup is slightly different.

Jetwreck Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Are you finding your car to be a lot more economical with the Nismo ecu Craig? yup......was about on par with the Haltech which was about 10-15% better than the standard ECU.......never got to do a tank on ECO before I took it off the road.
