Hey guys, my 33 series 2 come fitting with 4 week old G4 street spec coilovers. http://www.justjap.com/g4streetinfo.htm

awesome for the highway, just wondering how i can make these things more bearable to drive on shitty north brisbane roads. So far ive just been adjusting the turning knob things on the top of the shocks (damper and rebound apparently). when i set them to hard they are really bad and stiff and you feel everything, then i set them to soft, they are just really bouncy, and its a bitch to drive. somewhere in between is the best. Ive been driving around for ages with the backseat out trying out combinations for a while now. The only time its good is when i have fat people in the backseat.

Before i take my wheels off... reading the specs above is there anything else i would be able to adjust? Or any other suggestions for making the ride smoother?

they are 12 n 9 front n rear respectively....too hard for the pot hole patched up roads of australia.lol....good for nice flat rds like the highway. the rebound/dampner settings arnt that good. Use on daily car can get bad! thats why i sold mine, after a yrs use and 2 replacements of shocks cause of leaks.

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
