M35 Stagea Suspension Change

Hi all,

We've recently bought a m35 stagea which came with tein coilovers.

Given that this is the family wagon, these coilovers are tricky to adjust for a nice ride, and may be due for a rebuild.

I would prefer to replace it with the stock axis or rs4 suspension, or preferably the nismo aftermarket shocks and springs.

Does anyone have any of the above for sale? Willing to pay for courier for the right parts.

Thanks

Im in melbourne. Se suburbs specifically. What you got brick?

I am based in sydney so probably would be more Hassle then needs be.

My car has the factory upgrade suspension which sits 2" lower then stock but gives a really nice ride being the nissan upgrade set

Thanks all,

On this subject, which is the better option out of the nismo s tune and bc br coilovers?

Looking for a nice sporty ride with handling to suit. Not too firm, but not too mental either. This is the family wagon after all

Bc's. $1149 delivered in 2-5days.

S-tunes are the same price but you'll be waiting 2-3 weeks. I Don't know if they've changed them in the last couple of years, but the s-tunes in my r34 weren't height adjustable and didn't have the adjustable front tops.

Hi folks, I realize this is an old thread, but I have just bought an 04 ARX and it has leaking shocks. What options do I have in coil over or even performance air ride.. I'm wanting to maintain the ride height where I can, but stiffen up the lateral movement with sway bars and braces.. I'm hoping I'm not too late to the party and look forward to learning more and with any luck comparing notes :) cheers

BC Coilovers, Tein Coilovers, HKS Coilovers, MCA Coilovers, Nismo S-tunes. .....

Spoke to JustJap re the BC's and they told me with the ARX, the wheels will sit just off the guards at their most extended point.

On the others, I can't seem to find anything on whether they are ARX compatible. I really don't want it lowered much at all, if any... difficult aren't I :-/

Sway bars from SuperPro make a HUGE difference

Agreed, fully intend on replacing the bars once I get the car and figure out all the bushes that I need to replace in the one job... hope I can stretch the purse strings lol

      RB20 in need of modest love injection

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Hey guys,  I'm after some advice and this here is the best place to get it imo. I was a member a looong time ago under another account, with a lost email address. Its nice to jump back on and see some of the same names still giving good advice.  I mothballed my car when i moved to perth in 2013, and after getting towed across the nullabor a few times it has officially done more km's on a trailer than under its own power. Now that i have started the process of tidying up and modifying it, i see the fruit available (and the fruiterers selling the produce) is different than back in the day. hence my questions, as i used to 'know' what to get and now, i'm not so sure. Engine wise the car (92 gtst) has a walbro 255, k+n, fmic, cam gears and and turbo back 3"exhaust. Wish list is a Hypergear high flow or ATR43G1, Link G4x and some newer injectors before a tune up. My goals are modest, only low 200's power wise. i know i could achieve this with less, but i've been swapping out old for new where i can. Every cooling hose has been replaced, along with mani gaskets, WP, thermostat and radiator, fuel pump and timing belt, tensioner and idler, and i rebuilt the steering rack. Regarding the injectors, the fruiterers all seem to sell what used to be considered quite large injectors. There are a lot of options for bosch 1000cc EV14's, and i would like to know if that is a suitable choice for my build. Is modern injector design good enough to run these at the low duty cycles that i likely would be? is there a downside to running a too large injector these days? or, would there be an upside to running a smaller injector at higher duty cycle? I can see that there are smaller injectors still available, but the ones i have seen specifically marketed for RB's are pretty large (see: https://golebysparts.au/collections/fuel-rail-injector-kits/products/nissan-rb20-fuel-rail-bosch-980cc-1150cc-injectors-turbosmart-fpr800-regulator-kit), and i dont know enough about them to say one not marketed for RB's would fit or not. I have searched the forums, and amongst all the posts on older tech, I did see gtsboy recommend EV14's, but no size was mentioned... again, i'm not clear on if the smaller size bosch injectors are also EV14's as they do look similar.  also, if someone can recommend a tuner familiar with RB's in the Geelong or West Melbourne area i'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance guys. Cheers, Rowdy

      R33 GTR lift points for hoist

      FWIW the depth of the groove in the rubber pad is not super essential, the blocks are rubber and squish a bit. If you are worried an angle grinder will make a deeper groove quick smart

      I mean, if you were to move the jacking points away from the original location, that is, away from the wheels and closer to the centreline of the car, then it will be more likely to overbalance and tip off the supports. Same as we talked about before. I was talking about moving for-aft. If the sill is bent outward or inward, then the car would obviously look unstraight from the outside. Hopefully that hasn't happened either. Again, you can do comparative measurements from the chassis rails to see if there is much deflection.

      Can you elaborate what you mean with your first sentence? I meant move as in the bulge kinda seemed like it got pulled "outward" meaning it got pulled down and to the side with the jacking rail itself, so the load bearing bulge now sits lower than usual and is not level with the sill on the other side of the jack point. Either that or the jacking rail just got pushed in a good bit.

      As well as being risky WRT tipping off anyway. Yeah, I wouldn't expect it to move. Just measure from the rear one to the front one on the good side, then measure that same length on the wrecked side. You will find the notches in the pinchweld, and the jacking pad. Just spray a spot of marker paint or something there.
