Hi guys n girls I have ordered a set of Buddy club N+ coil overs

for my R32GTS Im a bit worried that they are going to be a bit

hard for what Im after they are 8kg front 6kg rear.Most of my

driving is 80% roads and maybe 20% track days.

Im worried that they will be to hard for street as we all know

that the roads are up the shit but great on the track.Should I

get nismo S tune instead which are 5.3kg front n 3.9kg rear

as these are great for inbetween road n track,(Im not keen

on Tein super streets)The best thing would be to go for a

test drive in some ones car but I don't know anyone in the

local area that has a set in there car.Any help would be great

Cheers Grunter

those coil over should be fine for the street they wont be super hard

They come with 16 step adjustment if I could have the adjustment

in the middle for road use I think they would be spot on Im not

real keen if I have to have them on the lowest setting for normal

road use

You already have answered the question yourself. Standard spring rates are around 3kg/mm, so what do you reckon almost 3 times that is going to fee like?. Don't kid yourself that you need hard springs for track work, that's simply not true, in fact it couldn't be further from the truth.

Fair enough I think I might just get the Nismo S tunes I think they are

rebadged bilsteins so they should be able to be rebuilt at some stage

Cheers thanks for the help

    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.  
    • I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
    • Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments
