No worries mate, I wanted an honest thread with first hand impressions/testimonies. With out the, "my mates reckons" usual. I'm glad someone else is getting some use out of the thread Once again, I have been delayed on delivery but hope to resolve this issue with in the next couple of days. On the install side - It should be a snap! I'll get some photos when I do it and post it up. To my knowledge (fell free to correct me?), if you buy them with tops they will come already assembled and set to standard ride hieght. So, all you should have to do is check over the assembly for tightness and swap with the original items on the car. disconnect brake line fasteners, two nuts up top and one on the bottom and out it will come front and rear. of course the standard recommendations are always in place = Get a wheel alignment etc. etc. I plan on running around on standard hieght for a while to let the whole assembly settle. Then i'll corner weight it, fit all my adjustment bushes and align. To get an even ride I would assume you adjust the base spring seat until you get the look you are looking for but it would be much more benifitial (IMO) to get them corner weighted which wwill give you a good height from the ones i've helped out with and will optimise the package. It won't be dumped though if that is what you are chasing ! By my theory on it is = you wouldn't buy an aftermarket ECU and then not have it tuned right! So, why pay close on $1600 for suspension to not have it set up properly? I'll try and get something together if it will help you out but i'm still waiting on mine, so, when is a variable.

HooRay for the hulk! The green giant has torn out from the hearsay to give a great review of a product! Thankyou for your detailed initial impressions buddy, it will make me rest a little easier tonight. As I suspected, I personally think the aus spec are a great upgrade but are a little too soft from the few cars i've driven but the jap specs sound to have the right balance between handling and comfort i'm chasing. Hopefully i will recieve my little upgrade tomorrow and will also update this thread with my amatuer impressions on how they feel! Thanks again

I'm finding mine. . . .NOT F#@KING HERE YET! I was told that they would arrive on the 26th-27th and have practically been met with a wall of silence and 3 failed promised delivery dates since then by a trader off this forum who shall remain nameless at this stage! Supposedly I will be getting them on monday arvo apparently and I haven't forgotten this thread and will post my findings once I've had a little time with them! I'll also have to get some scales off a mate and set up the corner wieghts before I get a complete view of how they perform for the relatively mild cost

Does anyone know who owns the red R32 with white Enkei's and black R32 with shodow chrome Enkei's that where at the spit on sunday?

Ok then, My 17x7 rims have an offset of +35. If I put a wheel 17x9 in size with an offset of +30(R33GTR), Will my car track?

Hello guru's, I was just wondering what peoples experiences are with tracking (following the road undulations) with different size rims on the front of R32's? In particular, wether a 9" by 17" rim would cause any tracking on an R32 gtst? I have 17x7" rims on the front and don't get any tracking what so ever but am curious to now if people find wider (say R33 gtr) rims tend to track and to what degree? Any info will be most appriciated!

What tyres are there in 235/45 17" that are non directional but are a very good tyre? I was looking at the adrenilins? hard to know what to go buy because i rang where we get brigstones from and ofcourse they rave about adrenilins so i rang the guys who are supposedly inpartial (but are really a toyo dealer) and surprise surprise, they rave about toyo T1R's but i would prefer non-directional as i give my car a fairly hard time on the twisties and would like to rotate tires regularly?

I was actually informed today by a friend of mine that his S15 that i had a couple of rides in actually had the jap specs in it so from my memory = They were much better matched and road really nicely. Got a little bit dicked around on delivery but should arrive tommorrow or the next day at the latest! will post if anyone cares too know?

pics of gtr wheels?

Nismo especially! I wanted someone who has had them for a while to comment. I'll find out for myself soon enough when they arrive. If they ever do? Thankyou for all the replies!!!

cheers for the reply Troy, good info! I had thought about going the flex route but was being realistic with my intended use and decided to scale it back a bit! I have riden in a couple of aus spec cars (both with no other suspension mods) and found them to be a really nice compliant ride. The R33 felt way too soft even after corner wieghting etc. and the silvia felt much better than standard gear but felt almost like the valving didn't match the spring rates? It was a comfy ride and absorbed shocks very well but felt as if the rebound was way to soft causing an almost bouncey feel in reaction to a shock. (I am very aware that a skyline and a silvia are worlds away in suspension characteristics and these are only my oppinions!) I understand it is a physical impossibility with in the realm of a forum to explain how firm a ride the jap specs are. I was really more interested in how people actually felt about them by the seat of their pants? Enjoyable? Too firm? good shock and spring rate match etc. Cheers for your replies

I had intended to pm you troy about what coilovers you have decided to run in your car as i intend on road/motorkhana worthy suspension! I am well aware that stiff doesn't always mean great handling and that precise initial handling response doesn't always mean grip and in turn out right speed. I just wanted to get a thread where someone (me) could reference some specs and first hand accounts on jap spec super street tiens. I appologise if my intial post was to vague.

Stick to the topic please! There are countless threads that turn into "Sydneykids group buy is the only good set up on a skyline" beat ups. Then people argue back and forth and so on! so, with the up most respect, lets skip all that this time and keep to the topic at hand. Disclaimer: No disrespect to SK's set up! i have been a passenger and driven his set up many times and it is fantastic! I actually have all of his set up, minus springs and struts! So . . . . .To reiterate: I would really appreciate peoples first hand experiences with them and any technical info? For example: aus spec are 5kg/mm front and 4kg/mm rear with softened valving but all I can find on jap spec are they are 4kg/mm both front and rear! So how can the jap specs be so much harsher unless the valving is much more aggressive? 4 & 4 info found from nengun, slide, fulcrum etc.

Thankyou for your replies guys ! Anyone else care to add?

there have been heaps of jap spec super streets bought! surely someone can throw some info/experience out there?

Hi all, There are plenty of threads on tiens but there dosen't seem to be a definitive answer on the difference between aus and jap spec coil overs! So does anyone know for sure? and can people who actually have the jap spec models in their cars comment on the ride quality because I have a set on hold and am unsure wether to continue with the purchase or redirect and get the aus specs? I'm sure a lot of people would be interested to know the difference (firm facts! not speculation) and owners personal testomonies (not i know someone) Any info would be great to help me make my decision

pics?. . . . .please

that is inge nous

Any update on these? What stud i.d are they? 4x114.3 or 4x100?

just thought i'd throw my 2c in. . . . It is a proven fact that aeros have f**k all affect on the car below approx.180kmph depending on the car

That is the concern? I really want to know, if i'm in danger of overheating the motor?

I went for a spirited drive up into the mountains and i checked my powerFC to see that my coolant temp was at 100 degrees and I can only imagine what temps my oil was at! And by spirited driving I mean, mostly driving normally with a few quick spurts every so often. Now it was about 30 ambient and very muggy but this concerned me a little because at any other time driving around normally temps sit between 80-89 on hot days (QLD weather) and I was just curious to compare with others as to what temps they get when pushing thier cars and what's the natural progression to combat this? I work on european cars that run around normally on 110 dgrees all day for maximum efficiences but I'm unsure of what is normal for jap imports? Any info would be most appreciated. . . . . Cheers

Got an update on what's been sold? I'd like the R32 gtr bonnet

An injector is just a solonoid controlled valve which can flow a certain amount at a certain rail pressure. So technically you should be fine to run them all the way up to 100% duty cycle but that puts a fair bit of stress on them running such high frequencies and with no margin for error, well stolen_s15 has covered that. Their will always be real world variables (basic condition of you fuel system components) so you need a small safety margin of about 5% (so 95% duty cycle) or 90% as abvove to be super safe. By my calculations the standard injectors are theoretically capable of 259rwkw best case senario on 100%duty cycle so you not going to get any where near what you want! If you don't wish to buy larger injectors, you can remove yours and get them high flowed for approx. $60 each to pretty much any spec you want. But be consious of future power goals as Ive seen people go to small before. Hope that was of some help
