    Bc Racing Coilovers?

    in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain

    Posted

    The 8/6 are fine on the road for the R33, but it is a larger heavier car.I've got an ADM S15 and was thinking 4/4, 5/4 or something.

    Not too such about having equal rate front and back mate.

    You don't have much travel on the front as in the rear. You'd have to have the car pretty high (near stock) to not get it to slam on the tire when braking into a corner.

    I've been running the BR series in my r33 gts-t for 12 months now. Done about 15,000km of city/ country road driving.

    The justjap guy said the difference between the BR and the V1 (cheaper one) was a bigger diameter damper, he said if you were gonna track then a bigger volume shock wouldn't heat up as quick. That and the fancy gold instead of red. :-)

    Had no dramas, they are pretty stiff springs but the damping adjustment range is huge. I tend to go between 10-15 depending on where i'm driving. Haven't gone below 20 as it rolls around too much for my liking.

    Mine did start to squeak/ creak at the front but it's normal to go back and re-tighten new suspension anyway after a while.

    I tightened the lower lockring (which hadn't budged, got maybe 1/16th of a turn in) and did the same for the upper 2 lockrings. (got maybe 1/4 turn in). Also tightened top mounts too and all noise disappeared. So if anyone else having noise issues get in there with spanners and make sure everything is tight!

    Hay mate could you provide me the contact to the guy that said that ^ or just ask for me - if the V1s give you more coilover to rim clearance over the bigger piston BRs...

    Or if they have slightly different mounting mounts, so effectively the clearance is the same even though the diameters are different.

    R34 Weight Distribution?

    in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)

    Think it's around 58:42 front:rear for the GTR and only slightly better for the GT-T, maybe 57:43 - because the front wheels are not driven.

    Point is, they are nose heavy because of the long 6 made from an iron block.

    I have no idea for the 4-door. I would actually say it would a little be better because more weight added to the rear (doors, etc), however base does remain the same.
