Which king springs did you have on your modified Bilsteins? And you're saying even with a -20/-15 drop I really should use adjustable front and rear uppers and tension rods?

Yeah it looks like we can't get them in the USA either. I'd have to get them from Bilstein AU and ship them here. Like I said I don't really care if Ohlins in the US will service them, but if Ohlins JP (Yamaha) won't then it's a non-starter.

I actually don't care if they need to be serviced in Japan, I have a Japanese phone number, debit card, and address. BUT, since they're discontinued I'm not spending $700 on used shocks unless I know they can be rebuilt to factory specs...have to phone them. Are the Japanese Ohlins DFV any good, and are they better or worse than the Bilsteins with matching springs?

How low did you have them that you were still able to use the factory links? I'm already in contact with Tein in Japan, and I emailed Bilstein USA and AU to see about availability of those. Going to contact Ohlins as well to see if they can rebuild used shocks or make new ones to fit.

there's actually a set of second hand ohlins DFV (JP) that I could get, not sure it's worth buying for $700 and sending to ohlins for a rebuild though, and I'd have to confirm with ohlins JP that they could still do it as the one for hcr32 is discontinued

Just out of curiosity what teins did you have on your hcr? And I'm assuming on both cars you needed adjustable links, at least for camber?

Nismo was -20/-15, and 5.3/3.9. It's higher than what sydneykid recommends but I don't see how I would get a 40mm drop with standard b6s since they say 30mm max. As for the rates, I don't see anything wrong with them? They might be a bit soft for a trackday but I also have arc swaybars. I do imagine those spring settings were designed to work with stock or nismo links, which is what I have. If I went lower I'd have to change to adjustables yeah?

Mostly street. Located in USA but can buy anything from Japan also. What is the rate and height on your eibachs? Since my main use is street is there any reason I shouldn't just buy springs to match the old s-tune ones? Also I guess I should ask, what spring diameter etc do the Bilsteins take?

Bilstein Deutschland says b6 is for a maximum of 30mm lowering, so that would be 360/350. For reference, nismo was -20/-15, and 5.3/3.9. Should I just get springs to match this? Eibach or tein springs? I know tein would make that, have to check eibach.

Just looked into buying new suspension for mine. Here's what I came up with (I DO NOT LIVE IN AUSTRALIA!) Anyone got any other ideas or recommendations for what I can get in JP or USA? 1. Bilstein B6: Are these discontinued? The GTS models only show on the Bilstein AU site. 2. Koni: Only available for GTR. 3. Ohlins: Only available for GTR 4. Nismo: Discontinued 5. KYB: super special for street is discontinued, they only have new SR which is not really meant for lowering springs. 5. Cusco: Street Zero and Street Zero A still available, but the spring rates only go as low as 8/6 6. Greddy: Only greddy street is, still available but also 8/6 7. Tein: Will make as special order for me anything they used to have, so I can get just springs (soft or medium) or coilovers (super street, flex, mono flex, super drift) they also will let me customize, I was thinking maybe mono flex with softer springs, don't know if I can also change from pillow to rubber mount? I was also considering just ordering springs from them, but then I realized I might not be able to get dampers to suit them, judging by the above. 8. HKS: Discontinued 9. Apexi: n1 damper available but is 9/8 10. Try my luck at yahoo auctions and rebuild used shocks?

I have one extra Nismo 330f steering wheel. There are one or two marks on the metal but the leather is like new. Overall 9/10 condition. I would like $999 USD OBO with no horn button or for an additional $200 USD OBO I will give you one of my extra old school logo Nismo horn buttons. These are going for a fortune now on Yahoo, but make me an offer.

any product recommendations? something like POR-15 or?

I'm not in a location where the vehicle has to be inspected. So my question is more like does this affect handling, alignment, or structural integrity in any way such that it would be better off fixed? Or, is it just cosmetic? And, for rust prevention, is that 3m stuff I linked the right idea or do you mean something else by undercarriage coating?

This is what I was referring to: https://www.amazon.com/3M-03584-Professional-Rubberized-Undercoating/dp/B002H9CMCQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1539126833&sr=8-1&keywords=3m+rubberized+undercoating Is that different?

So, spray some undercoat to prevent rust and leave it?

My driver's side under-floor rail had an unfortunate meeting with a wrongly placed jack stand. How bad is this and can I get it repaired? How?

Some of the buttons work, some don't. I can control the temperature, but can't seem to change the fan speed or use the off button. AMB doesn't work and neither does defrost. Should I replace the unit or does this sound like a wiring/sensor issue?

Nismo gauges are sold, someone please buy my Defi gauges. If you buy more than one I will give you a discount.

I am reassembling my interior and can't for the life of me remember how to reattach the glove box striker to the dashboard. Diagram says it's attached with two screws, but there's nothing in the holes on the dash for them to screw into? All I really need is someone to open their glovebox, unscrew those two screws and take a picture for me to show me what's underneath the striker. Maybe I'm missing some metal clip? Will buy someone a beer if they can help!!!
