It will be the same as any other Skyline really. I decided to go for King springs a Bilstein shockies due to the theory that coilovers are too hard for our roads. I've recently put some uprated sway bars in which makes up for the lack of firmness by reducing body roll but gives you the advantage that you have a softer ride over the bumps. I think this is better than just coilovers, not sure how it compares on price. Probably pretty similar.

yeh seems like spring rates on coilovers are abit much for daily driving but quite a few ppl have them and some brands are better than others...... abo bob in ur car u got king lows or super lows??? lows dont seem to lower the car much at all.....

I'm got Tein Super Streets on my 34 and so have a few other 34 owners I know. Spring rates are 5k F and 4K R which are firm but not overly stiff. The ride comfort is almost comparable to stock ride as experienced by a few ppl riding in my car which in turn have made them choose the Teins.

    • Personal experience. Those f**kers burn. And are actually a PITA to put out. Next time I walk down the back, I'll snap a photo of what the inside of the bonnet looks like when that thing ignites. PS, powder fire extinguishers are useless on that stuff too as it's fibrous and when it ignites, it starts to pull apart. And you end up just blowing powder through a sieve effectively.   Like the big thing is, if it's fire resistant, it's job is to stop what burning? The METAL above it? It's just to try keep heat off the bonnet paint work.

    • That's more or less what he meant. What it really means is that you do not have to go full crazy on the build. Don't need the best oil pump, expensive rods & pistons, big cams, etc. You can upgrade whatever you want instead of using stock level items, but you don't have to. Having said that - any time an RB is opened up, if anything is getting replaced, I think the opportunity should be taken to do all the sensible upgrades. Pistons, rods, pump, etc.
    • February update 🙂 We managed to get the very last 1/18th "Extra Scale" cars stock available from bookstores in Kyoto. These are actually the last ones and will not be restocked again! Hachette Collections Japan have not decided on a release date for these or other models in the series, so for the time being these are all there are available new.  These are showing up on Yahoo auctions at inflated prices already (especially the Celica and NSX) so get yours now at a very reasonable price before they disappear!

    • When you say basic rebuild, you mean an oem rebuild?
