02 Q45 - struts vs 04 M 45

[kingpin]

just wonder if they will fit when swapped any guru's for the Q should be able to answer this in no time HELP

i am working on my m but the air suspension is hard to find at a good price so i was think of asking the question ...

[maxnix]

There is no OEM air suspension on either the Y34, the FGY33, nor the F50.

If you are going aftermarket, you are pretty much on your own.

[kingpin]

i am full aware of that but no one answered the question ?

[maxnix]

If you are truly aware of the facts, then there is no question, is there?

[Q45tech]

If parts have the same Nissan Part number then they are the same. The two have different part numbers so they are not the same.

As far as physical fit, one wpuld have to buy both and compare. Unlikely that any shop would intentionally order the wrong parts to just see if they physically fit.

i am thinking of getting an after market susepnsion for a Q and mod it to fit an M

[Infinitiguy19]

Why not get a aftermarket M suspension?

There are probably more parts for it, Aftermarket wise.

[kingpin]

used ? i don't think so ... new parts i will be dropping 5 g all in - buy good stuff used and save some coin keeps me on budget ish

[Infinitiguy19]

I did'nt mention or imply used, But just incase you think aftermarket is used: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A...otive)

[kingpin]

used after market .....

[Infinitiguy19]

Well thats as bad as you can get. Because the way to get parts is:

BEST: OEM New, OEM Authorized manufactures, Used OEM, Used OEM Authorized manufactures, New aftermarket, Used aftermarket. WORST

[kingpin]

lol some one who is parting out with good s*** that is what i am trying to get at !!!!

[seldomseen]

Ask the dealership if the parts are interchangeable. If they are...then just go with Insurance Coilovers...

COIL OVER ARE A NO GO !! I WILL HAVE A VIP SNOW PLOW IN THE WINTER ..

I KEEP LOOKING ON THE FOURMS AND VSC BOUND TO FIND IT SOON !

[maxnix]

No need to shout!

Like Q45tech said, if the OEM parts are the same number, the part is the same. If not, then they are not. They might fit, but function differently when it comes to operational parameters.

Your best bet is to find the Eibachs and order the KYB SR Specials from

http://www.memoryfab.com (presuming they would fit)

as it will take 6-8 weeks for them to arrive. If for some reason they do not fit, you should be able to recover your money easily if they are not installed.

FGY33 and Y34 are very similar in suspesion design. The problem is, only the US Y34 came with the VK45DE, so no parts other than springs.

Because the Very Impaired Performance "Snowplow Look" is certainly a detriment on anything but a billiard table, sticking with OEM from Joe might be a better use of your money, then spend the balance on great wheels and tires for each season to maximize your performance return.

Your car may not look as Kewel in the parking lot, but hell, you're usually cool in Canada anyway, eh? Go for increased dynamic performance, not static kiddie fashion.
