Thanks everyone for quick replies, I guess my decision on the setup above is obvious...

Gotta stop being a cheap bastard and get'em BC's and be happy, it's just 1299$ or whatever they are feels like heaps of money, but once I look into other mods (unnecessary at this point, but inevitable in future), e.g. FMIC, hi-flo, p1ggyback etc., BC seems reasonable option vs. result. I guess I just gotta wait till something comes by with the BC "PM group buy"... :)

I most likely will be getting the Whiteline swaybar setup, once group buy option on it comes through.

Thanks again...

Ive heard Northshore do one of the cleanest compliance jobs, unfortunately mine wasn't done by them. Cam, I have worked out it was the silicone blocking the drain lip that caused the water ingress, al

Yeah, you and Aaron should get in on the group buy and save yourselves 38 cents. Oops, I've said too much....

Hey guy's found this awesome buy on Import Monster

Going cheap......retails for $1,500 to $1,600 normally.

Good deal, but using their shipping calculator works out to about $1500 AUD shipped air/EMS. Import Monster commission is $145!

Based on everything I've read I'm not sure they'll be worth the extra over the BCs?

Edit: Found this link while searching the forums for info on Silk Roads... very useful for IM suspension searches... http://www.importmonster.com.au/yahoo?cat=2084198619&term=m35&page=2

Via sea if it went for about $900 you should have it here for about $1,200(not using IM)....still pretty cheap.....I suspect that they might be a little better than BC's.

PS.....page one of this thread has more info!!!

Yeah I read page 1, but I'm not a mechanic, so it may as well be in Japanese to me! Sounds like the Silk Roads have a higher spring rate so will probably be a bit firmer, but that doesn't necessarily translate to better...

Some cheap second hand Tiens on there too.

Sea is fine but IM wanted to ship it to Melbourne, which doesn't help me :wacko:

You know that how? Guessing doesnt help. :nyaanyaa:

Just remember, Just Jap can get replacement parts and different spring rates for the BC's...

suspect......different to knowing!

Each one to the own ....I also suspect that my current suspension is better than yours! cheers.gif

Hi all,

For anyone who has BCs on an ARX, how would you rate the height and firmness. Input from others with BCs would also be appreciated.

A) Ride height adjustable range on a scale of 1-10 (If the standard ARX height is a 10 and completely dumped on its arse is a 1). eg 2-8, 4-10 etc.

B) Firmness/ softness on a scale of 1-10 (if standard suspension is a soft 2 or 3?).

This would definitely help I think for people like myself who want to get coilovers but are worried about sacrifices to comfort and ride quality.

Cheers

Don't think anyone has BC's on an AR-X yet.......well know one that I have heard of on here.

About to order some bc's for my stag, sick of shitty slammed springs making me bottom out practically every day. I do like a fang but my 180s for that, do you guys recon 12 kg's all round I like what zei said hahah

What springs you got? I wana bottom out.... :(

I'm still trying to research what's the best suspension to use to go low. BC are cheap and go low, but how low? Then there's StanceWorks ZeroClearance coilovers for the 350Z which are built to go low not for performance, but they're a little more pricey.

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      It was roughly 3.5 hours.    car went in around 11:00 and I was done around 2:30 He did the initial runs, install the BC and then Nistune install and tune.  The best part was sitting in the lobby and hearing the skyline on full throttle at the dyno 😂😂

      Glad it all went smooth. How long did the tuning process take?

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      Yeah that was kind of the same feedback my tuner gave me.  the boost tee is until I can sort out my plan for the electronic boost controller and what I’d get, where I’d mount the dash etc.  I’m happy with this until I can figure it out. Not a big fan of the A-pillar gauges. I’d like to get a clean install of the boost gauge - something digital like GFB.  Something like that might fit neatly where the ashtray is and look clean. I feel like replacing the OEM triple gauge is a bit extreme for a weekender like my skyline. And it’s not making crazy power to need all the additional sensors/gauges.

      UniClutch

      I'm about to swap my box to Tremec T56 Magnum F & initially thinking of re-using my DCS twin plate (can get it re centred for the bigger spline) but it's been called out the box will be noisy (rattle) as the clutch is unsprung.  So I'm doing as much research as possible. I'm not so worried about holding the power as I'll go the track version which on paper will hold the maybe 1000hp I make. It's the longevity I worry about. DCS told me they don't use a sprung centre as it's just something that can break. The uni clutch has a very complicated sprung centre. Any one had or heard about any issues with it failing? Thanks in advance.

      Auto is at least 10% (from my real, actual experience with different torque converters and manual on the same setup) ~185rwkw at 11.6psi (peak!) is entirely what one would expect without a FMIC or anything else on the intake, it does bleed off towards the higher RPM so it's what, 9psi there? Note: There is nothing that can be done about this with a manual boost tee. If you want to hold it steady and gain more top end, well - You will need electronic boost control.....
