Not making a judgement against MCA; everyone that I've heard from raves about them, but your comments about BC's just aren't true. I've been using them for more than 6 years now; damping and ride qua

A lot of info about older model stageas but what suspension is the same as a 2002 M35 Stagea? Looking at getting an airbag setup and it's looking impossible to find anything.

I haven't heard of anyone bagging a stagea. There won't be any off the shelf kits but it wouldn't be hard to put a kit togeather. Just hit up a company that supplies and fits and get them to measure everything up.

Almost all the m35 guys just go coil overs cause there is off the shelf options and price really is pretty damn good. $1250ish for brand new bc coil overs.

I've heard you can buy kits from japan but I haven't personally seen any. I was thinking that some of the infinity models might match up and I'd be able to drop a set of bags right in without going custom and spending a fortune. I was thinking coilovers but for the look I want bags are gonna be better suited. Looks like I'll be going with a custom setup by the looks of it though.

I have installe dags in a few cars back in the days when they were super popular. there won't be much custom work required to fit bags unless you are wanting it to lay rail over big wheels, which yeah is ALOT of work haha.

really all it will need is a set of Strut style bags for the front and they you may be lucky enough to get a bold in bag for the rear otherwise it will be just couple of plates welded in the rear where the current springs sit. You shouldn't need any cutting etc.

Thanks for the help. I'm gonna talk to a few airbag shops to find out what I'm gonna need for my application. It has to lay about 2-3cm of the ground so hopefully there's something out there.

What size wheels do you plan on running? where you might be limited and where it may cost lots is if you need to modify your inner guards.

I haven't figured out 100% what size but I'm looking at 19x11.5 +8 rear and 19x10 +5 front. Will need to run camber and have abit of guard work done.

So I bought an MV35 from interstate and need to raise it to pass rwc here in Victoria. It has BC BR's however the back is already wound out all the way, so I'm guessing it has the 62.97.255.008 springs like the set I had bought for the old car. What I want to know is what height / part number springs do I need to be able to achieve standard height?

Does anyone know how to get in contact with sk? I would like to buy some bilstein's with the grooves cut or has someone else taken over what he was doing. I have read up to page 20 but then it kinda goes on repeat

      Rear subframe stay bracket bolt removal issues

      By MBS206 · Posted

      TBH, it sounds like the threads on the bolt are fubar in a specific section. Most likely as you've been working it back and forth it has torn threads out, as you loosen the bolt, this section enters the nut, now you're spinning a round shaft inside the nut, there's no threads here.   Use something similar to a claw on a hammer that will fit either side of the bolt head and try to apply downward force while also undoing it. The idea is to attempt to catch a thread, or just rip the f**ker out. Caution on ripping out, as it could bend/maime/mangle what the captive nut attaches to. If the captive nut is actually okay, you could do the dirty part of cutting the head off the bolt, then cut a slit in the end of the thread that's now exposed and then screw it up and into the area the captive nut is until it falls out the other side. However, this does risk the remainder of the bolt rusting over time and damaging near the captive nut and also making it rust. However, so can cutting pieces of panel work out to access this area if you don't reseal it properly.

      Rb25 det nitto washer crank gear

      Well, every piece of information on that part when you track it back to Nitto says it's for a KIT of theirs. It is also designed thicker to be stronger. And they speak about a specific harmonic balancer bolt they supply for the whole setup.

      Techniques for removing stuck bolts are: hitting the bolt head with a hammer, heating the bolt to red hot then letting it cool and working it back and forth like you are already doing. AFAIK the idea is to try to crush whatever material is stuck between the threads (and heat also melts locktite but that's almost certainly not relevant in this case).

      Yuh, I think it works with the Nitto gear only. I presume that you're not also using the Nitto gear? Watch the video. Compare the interface between the Nitto gear and washer (on the gear side) vs the stocker and decide if you think the Nitto gear is different from stock there.

      Liking the new charger, battery all good (I think).   Also like how you can put it in power supply mode too. Will troubleshoot with that sometime soon.
