Hi guys.

I'm from Adelaide, been reading this forum a long ago. Now decided to register since need some help.

Does anyone have OEM front and rear shocks with springs. I need them to pass the Regency ID check since my car came from Japan with coilovers. Just may be someone is running coilovers on his car and keeps OEMs in the garage. If you don't want to sell the shocks just in case the future car sale I can borrow them just for the ID check and then return them with some cash.

Tried some wreckers with no luck yet. There are some used OEMs on American ebay but the don't ship to Oz.

Just buy some oem 350Z ones - they give a 1 inch drop, but without 2 cars side by side I very much doubt that Regency would be able to tell that they are not oem. Is that right sedan gurus?

So if you upgrade your shocks it now gets you a defect slap ?

WTF difference does it make if you're running OE or quality coilovers as long as the ride height is set to OE specs ?

In many if not most instances aftermarket gear like DMS or Eibach of better quality than OE crap anyhoo.

What a crock.... :angry:

Try Nissan wreckers---? :yes:

I have a set of Nismo struts/springs from my 2007 350GT, would be interested in a trade plus a lil cash on top! Only have 15k on them, factory suspension just dropped a little over stock

That is a pretty silly thing to say. And the extremely simple answer is that with adjustable height coilovers once you have passed your inspection at oem height, you could go home and lower your car to whatever illegal level of you like in 5 minutes. The fun police definitely don't want it to be that easy. Plus there are almost no (maybe none even) V35 coilovers that meet (or have been tested for) ADR compliance. No ADR compliance = illegal.

I assume this isn't for compliance, and your car already has a pink SEVS compliance sticker? As if it is for compliance and the car is fresh out of Japan, you NEED to have exact oem equipment for your model and spec car. They WILL check.

And that is a pretty silly response , 'could be done' , one "could" do any damn thing .

Here's a bit more you didn't quote just to level things up a bit , "In many if not most instances aftermarket gear like DMS or Eibach is of better quality anyhoo."

And as to the ADR If they're on for the 350Z it'd a be a look that they a going possibility for the 350GT.

Proposing a solution for the OP would be a look as well ---- :whistling:

OK, here's a couple of tips. If you don't actually own a V35/V36 (unless you haven't updated your "Car" field in your profile), then what are you doing offering advice? Don't talk about shit you don't know about. Saying that a brand is "of better quality than oem" is just stupid - oems spend millions of dollars in R&D before putting parts in our cars. Sadly MOST oem parts in our cars are MUCH better quality than the things we replace them with. But the key issue here that neither DMS or Eibach make a part that is certified to ADM standards and are legal or acceptable from a legal or more importantly insurance point of view.

How many times have to taken your car to Regency, as the op is proposing? For your info I have had 4 different cars there for a total of over 10 visits/inspections. This is also the 4th Nissan I have owned, so hopefully I know a little bit about them.

I am having trouble understanding your English in the last 2 sentences (maybe proof read your posts before posting them) - but as opposed to yourself, I actually DID suggest the possibility of using 350Z/370Z gear in order to get him out of trouble, which unlike yourself IS proposing a workable solution. Unengineered coilovers will NOT pass ANY inspection in Australia (unless you are extremely lucky and the inspector doesn't look properly). Fullstop.

Last tip: don't be a smartarse to an SAU Admin ..... if he was having a bad morning he would have already given you a holiday from the forums for being a smartarse.

Compliance is done, just waiting for the sticker.

A bit of confusion here. So does 350 Z/ 370 Z suspension fit V36 or only 370GT coupe? Just phoned some wrecker today, they've got 350 Z shocks and springs but they want some $950.

So you mean that you would take my coilovers plus some cash in return for your struts?

I think that the 350Z suspension would only fit on a V35 coupe and sedan.

The V36 series vehicles share their suspension with the 370Z.

Maybe there is comminallity in the struts and springs, but would be safest to get something off a 370Z or as offered another V36...

      Shoota's R33 GT-R RB30/26

      By Shoota_77 · Posted

      They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...

      BCNR33/ECR33 Door corner piece replacement

      By PLYNX · Posted

      Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !

      I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
