Don't waste your time and money Mavric... they don't care what your actual weight or power is.

God I hope he didn't sent that in. Wait for the hackjob on that one... see above.

yay, I was technically correct... the BEST kind of correct

I reckon the Ceffy is good for a high 11 with the right tyres...

Ah cool... yeah I wasn't sure

Unless I am mistaken if a cops sees a P-Plate on a GTS-t the person is guilty?

The red car is a particularly crazy FC RX7... Expect to see it tearing up the Calder drift nights soon if Ni doesn't grab it first

Streeter took these pics at a drift competition.

It is very simple... dickheads purvey society in a proportional manner, thus the biggest forum/car club in Melbourne has the most dickheads. It is quite simple. There are dickheads here, Mines_Datsun anyone???? MCCR grew and changed, the original people moved on, the size of the club meant that it became extremely visible. Law enforcement in Victoria has clamped down on cruises in a big way and MCCR bore the brunt of that again by being the biggest club and also informing police of their cruise routes and locations. As for that thread well... whatever, if you bothered to read it you would have seen that MCCR members had different opinions on it and put counter arguments against what the original poster said. But let's not let facts get in the way of sweeping generalisations. But were it not for MCCR I would not had sex with teenage girls in the last three years and I think that is something we can all appreciate.

As always extremely helpful... Thankyou. So what is the point of preload then? As I understand it (which I clearly don't) if we use a 100lb/in spring and we stick in and inch of preload it takes 100lb of force on the spring before it moves at all... Just looking at the numbers I can see that all of the preload would be taken up just by having the car sitting on the ground. As for the sping rates... hmm. Well the springs have nothing written on them. Might have to take them somewhere to find out what they actually are.

If you have a look at the link it is a recommended height, they also give the full hieghest/lowest range. If someone knows the standard V-Spec guard to wheel centre measurements then I can simple use that minus the lowering spec to come up with the ride height to set these too. I rechecked the ride heights with a proper ruler and they were 37cm rear and 39cm front so it is definitely nose up stock. Also if that is how bad I do it with a ruler then imagine how bad it would be by dead reckoning! Then there are other things like setting the spring preload. Very bad, because there is no point setting the ride height correctly if there are different prelaods. Goodness, me. I thought this would be not that hard.

Just FYI, they look a hell of a lot like these ones...

Just the usual questions about ride height with coilovers. I notice that Tein talk about the ride height in terms of reduction from stock Ft:-51mm Rr:-36mm with their HA dampers which have 9kg/mm fronts and 8kg/mm rears http://www.tein.co.jp/hadamp2ne.html Then Ft:-46mm Rr:-16mm on their RA which have 12kg/mm springs all round http://www.tein.co.jp/radamp2ne.html Mines go with f:-40 and r:-20 with 10kg/mm springs front and rear Unfortunately the JIC site does not have heigh specifications but from what I can work out the springs should be 12kg/mm f and 10kg/mm rear. This combined with the fact the car is a non-V-Spec which is higher than a V-Spec means... well I dunno really. The guard to wheel centre measurements (with a 30cm ruler ) are approx 365mm front and rear. Tyres are Yokohama A03R and it is hopefully going to Sandown soon so any suggestions would be helpful as I want to be able to go in and tell the people installing them what to set them at. I notice that they seem to drop the front more than the rear. Stock the car seems to have a nose up attitude and it pitches under braking and acceleration quite a lot. Does anyone know what the stock spring rates are? I guess the other question, how hard is it to install them yourself?

Sounds like the boost controller isn't working at all and it is just going off the actuator springs. Check that the solenoid is plugged in. Pulling out the restrictor on a R33 takes it from 0.7bar to 0.9bar... Getting the restrictor out also mashed my fingers

http://www.zele-international.com/bnr32/32_123.html A bargain at ¥3,654,000... this one even has air conditioning! Among other things it has an N1 engine and turbos (duh), intercooler vents, no rear wiper and the old non-elipsoid beam headlights.

The Just Jap ones are 9.5" for the 33 and 34... The R32 ones are 9" not that people care about offset or anything these days, what with spacers and other such junk.

I don't quite understand what you have written there. Range and resolution are two completely different things. According to Sydneykid's magic table the RB25 is good for about 226rwkW whereas the Z32 can do about 255rwkW (has a 13% larger range). I suspect that simply putting the Z32 AFM would give false lower load readings which would make the car run lean, I would get your car on a dyno and check it out.

No

True dat

LOL now that is a big pic nizmokid!

Hahaha... maybe this is more helpful for you.

:spamcan: Hmmm speaking of Koalas, I will have more stickers done this weekend if anyone wants one...

Just a pet peeve, the Z32 has a larger RANGE the resolution is actually worse!!!! Curse you HPI and your misuse of terms!!!! I need coffee...

Do you think they will sell the ecstasy at auction?

I think that is why he put the smiley in there... Can't wait to see you in QLD Streeter... I might be judging too!!! Maybe...
