If Z33/V35 coilovers fit M35's, does it mean that Z33/V35 lowering springs will fit intoi M35 standard shocks?

They'll fit but it'll be no good; theyre not designed for the weight.

i've been reading and researching about v35 coilovers and if they will fit m35. I quoted the above posts just to know more about it, can anyone please calrify, cause if the spring rate is the issue, is that mean I can change springs and retain the dumpers right? - since that my Sister is selling her V35 with BC coilovers

I might just buy this from her and install it to my ARX -

sure the springs will fit, but they will be the wrong spring rate for an M35

unless the Z33/V35 is AWD, the coilovers will NOT fit. the front suspension setup is different to accomodate the AWD drivetrain.

Hmm...I was watching Inside West Coast Customs and in one of their cars they were installing Pedders coilovers....I checked out the website and for shits and giggles I wanted to check if there is one for a Stagea

surprise surprise there is for the S2 I believe

1996-2001 Stagea WGN34 Wagon - 16-0174 Extreme XA Coilover Kit

wonder if anyone has used them??

Probably worth reposting this here:

From this thread (the stagea suspension thread) I gather a shock meant for a R33 GTR will fit the RS4.

Is it going to work well as a stock comfort replacement? I figure it would be stiff going on the GTR, but the stagea is heavier.

Any good local places to pick up replacements from?

auto's need r33 gtr front and r33 gtst rear shocks

manuals use 33 gtr all round

you can use the gtr stuff, but the valving is different and also worth noting is that getting stuff out of japan could land you near the cost of a new set of coilovers (which can be rebuilt, eg BCs are $75/shock for new inserts)

Thanks, Ive already fixed the rear shocks up with some new KYB's.

Im open to new coilovers on the front, but maybe in future. Need to get the car back on the road.

When you say the valving is different, what is the on-road effect going to be?

was wondering if any of the m35 drivers have used the cusco suspension.. otherwise il just stick with the proven bc's just thought id try be different

I'm sure the quality will be fine; all their stuff seems to be. The picture is a stock image; that kit isn't for an NM35.

I did notice the listed rear spring rates are quite light; 5kg/mm. I'm pretty sure the BC rear spring rates are around the 9kg/mm.

Something to think about if you like to load your car up, or tow a trailer.

Cheers, Dale.

Any more info on that? Ball joints arent likely to be squeaky. Things like sway bars can make very loud creaking noises at the rubber mounts. Worn ball joints make dull knocking sounds if the ball is moving slightly around in the socket. Usually noticeable on rough roads where everything in the suspension is moving around slightly but constantly.

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
