hi guys i have a s2 250gt sedan, stock, and i have few things that concern me,

first of the suspension makes creeks and noises when taken over some uneven parts of the road or when they have to compensate for some movement, usually heard on speed humps or crossings, im thinking the suspension might be needing a rebuild or something?

secondly, i haven't had the time to check and the brakes and maybe the rotors are uneven and faded so i might need some new ones there, anyone know what the sizes are for pads and rotors (front only)?

third is the air bag light keeps flashing, iv heard to take it to Nissan, im in Liverpool area and i don't like attitude of Liverpool Nissan (been there a few times with the old coupe and there a bit dic.ish), is there any Nissan dealerships that fix this problem with the airbag light and also how much would it set me back?

that's all, and that's for the view and read :)

The suspension could be bad bushes, some suspension shops will do free, or cheap inspections, so it might be worth taking it to one of them to get checked. Otherwise, get your mechanic to check it next time it is in for a service.

As for the airbag light, anyone with a scan tool that is compatible with the V35 will be able to read the codes. As for the cost of repair, that is totally dependant on the faulty item that has caused the warning light.

With the airbag there is a manual reset that I have used many times as the plug under my passenger set is a bit dodge.

Turn ignition switch to the on position, as soon as the airbag light goes out switch it off.

Repeat this process 5 times and then start the car, airbag light should come on while it does its initial startup sequence and then go out, and stay out.:thumbsup:

    • Just wanted to pop in an update on my setup. The CD swap has been great, I love the mazworks housing for the overall simplicity. I ended up sealing my trans tunnel with a thin sheet of aluminum reused some of the holes on the trans tunnel, and laid some window sealing EPS foam around the edges. Works great, really quieted things down and sealed up the car.  As for the power comment. Right now I am also running about 650whp. with the way the bell housing is attached to the face of the transmission I have zero doubts it would be fine, mainly because the input shaft and main shaft bearings are seated into the bell housing adapter. This means the load is NOT on the bolts to maintain the power, rather into he casing of the bell housing; Yes the bolts are doing some work there, but with both shafts locked in zero worries.  End of the day, the Mazworks solution is the easiest and safest. no need to take your trans to a shop to get milled perfectly, it fits with minimal clearancing, and you can use all your existing clutch and flywheel.  Driving wise the CD has been great compared to the big box, I'll probably swap my final drive at some point. The serial 9 shifter is gooooood, my only qualm is how tight it is, it takes a fair bit to get use to, 5th and 6th are a bit eh/hard to find at times, but maybe I need re-adjusting, and I think my clutch master is very tired and needs a rebuild. 
    • If you are keen, have a look at my build thread. Car is for sale for the right money or straight swap for a F80 M3 LCI.
    • Welcome mate.  No point in over thinking it, buying any one of those cars you mentioned is not a smart or logical choice with the availability of many "better" (re price to performance) cars available to you.  The heart wants what the heart wants, buy whatever it leads you too.
    • Hey everyone! Im so grateful to be apart of this community and ill do my best to be apart of this. Firstly, i'm not disclosing my real name due to in real life circumstances surrounding my privacy and public image (sorry lol) Secondly, The only thing personal I am willing to share is that I'm from Sydney and a descendant of one of Sydneys largest mortgage firms. I got gifted my first ever car, a 2022 Porsche Cayenne and I love it to death. Ive been driving it for about 5 or 6 months now and honestly Im so grateful for my parents for gifting me this vehicle. However recently I've been working my ass off to afford my second car (which I need help deciding soooooo community help me out please?). Once decided, im planning to try modify it myself. Recent I've been thinking about getting a Skyline, particularly a 25GT or GT-V, yes I know overrated as hell, but I'm also considering a Chaser which I recently came to love. However my dream is to one day own a 180SX (So hard to find clean versions and im not really into importing).  Lastly before I send this off, I want to apologize if I sound tacky or pretentious. I try not to and want to genuinely learn from everyone and anyone. (Im no expert in this area) Thanks for reading!
