finally saved up enough to buy a proper set of coilovers, although i have very lil knowledge when it comes to these things i have narrowed it down to 2.

ive read in magazines that the "TIEN" suspension range is quite awsome at the fact it was developed for australian roads (which suck alot) and favour driveability.

on the other hand ive heard nothing but praise for the HKS Hyper MAX set.

my dilemma is that although i will be driving the car everyday, i also use it every now and then for the circuit or strip.

would anyone who owns either of these products care to share your exp?

Ill Just be Bias and say HKS HyperMax. Coz i got them on my R34.. really comfortable Ride. and absorbes road bumps very nicely. Although be a tad cautious in the wet.

could u care to explain why the bad quality in the wet?

also whats the deal with adjustments? what effect do they give when adjusted high or low?

sorry guys like i said i have no idea what these things do (i only wanted em to lower my car lol)

Well to be honest im not sure if its the Negative camber that ensued after Lowering my car with aftermarket shocks, that makes is kinda dangerous in the wet, apparently its common... But i have enuff Rubber on my wheels to make a porche cringe. so it cant be my tyres. when Adjusted the affects are very noticable. I havnt bothered to screw around with mine yet. but a friend of mine has them and he is quite switched on, in terms of understanding supsension dynamics. He's is setup to pretty much drift when he gives it some beans, but oversteer controll is brilliant according to him.. he says he wouldnt buy any other.. anyhoo, Freeway onramps are great fun when its raining..

    • If the gases flowing in those two tracts had the same properties, you could maybe use such broscience. But the exhaust has a different composition, different normal density, different actual density (because of different normal density, and mostly because of the massively higher temperature), and different viscosity (again because of much higher temperature). Consequently, all of the fluid dynamics parameters that matter, that you calculate from these inputs, such as the Reynolds number, friction factors (for wall friction) and so on, are all incomparable.
    • And we shall have to presume that Canada is the same?
    • In the US almost everything is E10. It can't exceed 10% by much or fuel systems have trouble adapting. At the same time because MTBE, MMT, and TEL are all banned they need as much ethanol in it as possible to boost octane.
    • I was mostly jesting. In my experience (and probably only my experience) the R34 GTT physical airbox space is actually too small to flow the amount of power it wanted. By sealing the box, I made it so it could only be fed by the ducts themselves. So you can seal it up and get nice cold air which IS good, but at a certain crossover point: More Hot Air > Less Cold Air I don't think you're at this point. In my case merely ducting the hot air intake with a very focused set of ducts counteracts the fact it's in a V8 engine bay. More cold air obviously best. The solution looks great.
    • Nah, the OEM CAI pipe is still installed behind the bumper, it is about 5" x 3" oval at the engine side, tapering down to a 3" pipe behind the bumper where it gets all the ambient air it needs Engine side of radiator support OEM intake pipe "oval hole" that is right in front of the filter My OEM NC1 CAI pipe: From NC2 onwards, below pic, they come slightly smaller at 2.75" diameter with corrugations and a resonance chamber to reduce intake noise, lucky for me my NC1 has the bigger noisy one, LOL   Basically, the "sealed" airbox will just get ambient air from a 3" pre filter intake tube that is the same size, 3" as the rest of the intake pipe post filter, and if a 3" intake isn't big enough to flow enough air for 150 killerwasps then there are other issues The whole intake is basically the same length as OEM, but it is now about 30% bigger from the airbox back through to the new intake plenum than OEM, and the intake plenum is port matched to the head And the intake is now about 30% bigger than my 2.5" exhaust, so the suck, squeeze, bang and blow black magic should be fine, well, to my uneducated understanding of fluid dynamics anyway Talking the the guys at MX5 Mania, it may even make a few more killerwasps as the intake isn't sucking hot air, especially off idle or when in slow traffic when it would be sucking hot air  As for the difference in IAT, I haven't logged IAT yet, as I don't currently have a OBD2 reader, but I will have a play with my thermal lazer thingie next time I take the car out to sèe how hot stuff gets under the bonnet near the intake filter prior to installing the air box, my "assumption is it has to be much better after the air box is in and sealed up compared to what it is now The aftermarket "performance" CAI elephant in the room: Aftermarket CAI intakes typically have the air filter tucked up behind the bumper, with a 2.5" intake tube (the OEM intake pipe is actually about 30% bigger than the fancy pants "aftermarket" version.....WTF), and you need to remove the bumper to service the filter, which is a PITA Like dis:
