Hi ppls:

Just had coil over in me car, me ride is now so bumpy that giving me a headache, anyone got them in their car?

What heigh should i have as at the moment i got the front pretty low and the back is still a bit higher than the front but still lower than before. What softness should i set for the back cos Melb roads...well you all know what's it like.

Having it too stiff or have it soft? which does better for the car for take off, connering?

Anyone? Oh another thing is is there a place that selll special spanner or what ever that is to adjust the heigh as i want to do it myself, don't want to take them to work shop cos $$$ is an issue.

Thanks.;)

my suspension is set pretty hard.... and yeah its nice and bumpy and rough! ;) i like it that way... had to drive the daewoo into work tonight and was scared cause it was almost like it was floating and just felt like crap... hated it compared to my line

the hardness is a combination of your shocks and springs i beleive. not much you can really do to fix it.

with height adjust.. the tools are pretty $$, but i know of a few people on the forums who have made their own for about $15. Last time I was in ricebarn, we were looking at the HKS catalogue, and they were 9,800 yen for a set of 2 from japan..

I also have height and damper adjustable coil-overs, and on the softest setting it is still very stiff! (i wouldn't have it any other way :P)

If i turn up a steepish drive way, i get some three wheel motion happening, with one of my rear wheels spinning freely about 1-3 inches off the road :P.

If you'd like we could meet up and compare ride comfort.

What brand are they? Mine are TEIN or OFFICE one of the two.

What is D-Day, can you please fill me in?

Yeah i looked at getting coilovers as well... but as it's my daily driver i was put off by the rough ride. I'd be keen to see what others have and what the ride is like. I've got potenza shocks (dunno what springs) and it's quite nice. But when i give the car a sharp turn there is some body roll. And the car needs to be lowered some more! I'll be getting some new springs to bring it down a bit and also reduce the body roll, but still keeping some comfort... any recommendations?

    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
