I had a kit made for my NM35 by Sydney Kit under the Selby brand.

There is a whole thread on the install.

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/M3...&hl=swaybar

Basically the rear is the same as a 350z.

Only downside is I am not sure Sydneykid is still running Selby and I am not sure if anyone is making the bar.

Cheers

Does anybody know the part number for bilstein shocks that go into the front of a S2 stagea RWD. And which model nissan match these shocks..Thanks for any help

This is an email response I got from NZ when I was looking for front shocks for my rwd s2, I found someone in Brizzy who will order them in for me. So I'm gonna do that as soon as I get my tax back :D

Hello,

Yes bilsteins are a excellent shock absorber, I just spoke with my product manager and he said try contacting Sydney shock absorbers as they also deal with Bilstein.

The part number to quote them will be BE5-2590

Could save a lot of hassle, time and money if you deal with them, if you have no luck with them then by all means contact me and let me know how you get on and I will try my best to help you out

Regards,

Shane Cooper

Selby website still have M35 and C34 swaybars listed...

Search for Nissan Stagea

AUD 250+GST for each end for us M35s...

a whole heap of choices for the C34 guys..

Would the M35 units be the same as what Andy has on his car? And are they suitable for ARX and other M35 versions..

Yes they are. He used my OEM ones to make the Selby ones. Yes, suitable for the ARX

Do it!! You won't regret the decission.

I did them before I did the shocks and it made a huge difference to the handling.

Yes, I think that will be my first proper mod, as the return on investment seems excellent. Just have to put it off for a while as I still have the unexpected Goodyear Eagle F1's to pay for this month, and I need to get the iPod kit ordered from the US and installed.

Reckon I can get these sway bars fitted myself, with the help of a set of body stands and a jack.

SK's instructions look good and clear.

So get the tyres paid for, tunes sorted, handling fixed... Then we can think about more powa... Maybe CES will be up to speed on M35 dumps by then... :P

hey every 1 i was wondering if i could get some advice on good springs for lowering my car, i hav an r34 skyline sedan with kyb adjustable shocks. i see places around advertising $400 to get your car lowered with king springs, is that the best way to go?

cheers

I've just put Bilsteins in my RS4 Stagea, got them through Car Torque here in Adelaide for a very good price, also did swaybars, still waiting on the rear to come in. Dave at Car Torque is getting some sway bars made up for the rear of the Stagea at the moment, people use the whiteline ones but the links don't sit strait and sometimes the bars don't bolt on at all. That's the problem I had.

Some notes about the shocks etc.

The shocks I used were R32 GTR fronts, R33gtst Rears

The front's come with 2 circlip grooves, the rears have only 1.

Using the heighest circlip grove on the front makes the spring seat sit approx 24mm lower than standard, the second groove is another 10mm lower again.

The rear springseat sits approx 10mm lower than standard.

Using the standard grooves, heighest on the front, the car will sit nicely but a little higher than ideal with the standard springs.

Machining one extra groove 10mm lower on the rear shock and using the lower groove on the front will have to car sitting at a better height, guard heights or 360mm front, 355 rear (approx, calculated)

I was going to engineer a set of springs to get the ride height spot on without any machining but I found that I already had lowered Tein items in there so I machined circlip grooves to suit.

That'll be me who's getting those rear bars made up by Car Torque.

:(

See:

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...t&p=4621964

For all the details.

FWIW, as supplied, Nismo Bilsteins look to have circlip grooves at the stock height, and lower already.

An update on the C34 Stagea rear bars I've had made:

The fixed one fits perfectly - slips straight over the link rods, no angularity issues.

22mm fixed - $238

22mm adjustable - $270

Speak to Car Torque Products in Adelaide for availability, I think they have had about 3 of each made by Selbys.

I've just fitted the adjustable version to my S1 RS4. It fits like factory.

Next on the list of things to do is to modify the front whiteline bar with some retainers to stop it slipping side to side.

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
