Hey guys, just wanted to share my experience in installing some coilovers today.

I did it with the help of a mate who installed a set of Teins on his pulsar recently. Big thanks to ya Peter

Coilovers are used Kei Office TE. I've always been a fan of Tsuchiya and his coilovers a top notch, made in his own factory in japan and heavily R&D'd.

TE model means base model with no damper adjustment, made to be very similar to stock suspension with height adjustment.

My car came with worn out Nismo damper adjustable shocks and springs. It had a rattle in the left rear, cant say how good it feels to get rid of the rattle. It also "whispered" where I would hear the dampers working over bumps, it sounds like ppl whispering in the back seat, it was hell annoying

The coilovers also made it a really good ride, when I braked hard on the worn Nimso's the car would pitch forward and then back, these don't, and it gives a nice firm ride with very nice dampening.

Anyway heres some pics from today

Very happy with the results :)

Just want to say thanks to wtf-33R for the wheels and 33KLR for the coilovers

What do you think?

Cheers!

LOL

you would have liked our first attempt at the front then. Had no idea where to adjust it to so we tried the middle. Turns out the front bar was 3cm off the ground and the front wheel was tucked under by about a cm.

I need it to be practical my driveway is shit and I'm sick of repairing the front bar hehe

Hey thanks guys!

I got it aligned on Sunday morning at Bob Jane. It was only $66 for all four wheels, that was pretty sweet. It cost like $90 a year ago when I last did it at the same place.

Its all aligned, and the rears have correct camber and toe, as does the front right. Front left is cambered 1.5 deg adn they couldnt correct it. I might get a camber kit if I get really bad tyre wear on it.

Yeah i read about the show and shine it looks like its going to be huge! I'll try to make it!

    • How f**ked am i? what would happen if i leave the magnet inside there? 
    • I'll update you guys when i get home from work, im going to try to fish it out.  I just realized that i can't even drop the oil pan. The whole front diff and axles are connected to the oil pan... is it even possible to drop the oil pan without taking out the motor?  
    • So recently at the track had experienced a loss of throttle after a period of WOT after installing the emtron ecu, recently did some logging to troubleshoot the issue and found the ECU was cutting due to a low oil pressure issue. Going over the log can see that while accelerating at 4k rpm will see 100 PSI of pressure and holding steady at that level until getting off the throttle which then after can see as low as 25 PSI at 3-4k rpm and will recover back to a normal level after that.   Wondering if anyone has an idea what could be the cause as it just feels abit strange and i dont feel like it could be a sensor issues just due to it clearly sitting at a good pressure until off throttle, in the attached can see a 3rd and 4th gear pull but can even perform great through 3 and 4 gears of WOT but still once off throttle and getting back on it will see pressure drop.
    • There are a few different ways of doing it. I'm currently running two 1000cc pre-TB nozzles and PWM the pump for control. I'll be moving over to a constant pressure system and direct port. I'll run the pump off a regular relay, have it cycle on roughly 5psi before I start injecting to build pressure and then PWM a WMI solenoid (It's basically an injector that can take a lot of pressure and not corrode with water and meth.) The solenoid feeds the 6 direct port ~200cc nozzles. I'll also keep one ~250cc pre-TB nozzle to help keep IAT's in check.  Safety will be a little different as well. I used to use a pressure switch but will be moving over to a pressure sensor between my solenoid and nozzles. I'll trigger my solenoid and if I don't see specific pressure within a specific timeframe (e.g 100psi within a second, 175psi within 2 seconds), I kill it and revert back to non WMI maps the same way I did it before with 4D in Haltech. I was just figuring out the timers in my ecu last night. They made that a little more complicated than I would have liked... I wish Haltech offered a larger set of logic/math functions like other ecu's do. I can't do very much with just AND's and OR's.  I've been asked to do fuel/ignition mapping on a medium bore engine at work in May (192L V16). Being the only programmer in my region and having went and opened my mouth about knowing the ins and outs of fuel/ignition mapping, I have now been deemed an expert. Fun fun. The entirety of the logic and algorithms are programmed in C on a PLC. As I spend more time figuring it all out, I like what I see and eventually I may consider doing the same as a pet project to replace my ecu.   
    • This would be interesting, would you feed it via a 2nd row of injectors? Or just usual WMI nozzles?
