Hi As some of you will be aware from my last post im building a R30 FJ20 turbo Coupe race car

is there a rule of thumb with the setup of these for track use ie soft rear hard front etc or is it completely driver related ie what i prefer?

i mean does anyone no what kind of stiffness settings they used in the ATCC? we are in the process of doing the suspension at present and i guess im looking for a direction tho head in so im buying the parts to make the right effect if that makes sence?

Also what bluebird is it that the cross members, lower control arms and rack and pinon steering (non power assit) that will bolt strait into an R30? and can i still put S13 hubs etc on the bluebird lower control arms?

Cheers in advance

Marc

also if any one has an FJ20 engine mounts could you PM me?

I'd be keen to know the answer to your question too

I'm in the process of building my car for classic rallies.

So far I've installed koni shockies to get it licensed and have selby front and rear swaybars to fit.

Not sure what springs to fit plus need to get adjustible camber tops

I assume you're after the factory 'filled' mounts?

If so, I suggest you upgrade to RB mounts - all that's required is an adapter plate. I changed mine over with a scissor jack & removal of the strut brace only.

    • Meh, At 60 years old, I have been doing dumb stuff for much longer than you mate, I am the true King And unfortunately I cannot be a maroon, as I am not brownish red As for not getting ITB's, the plenum intake will apparently show typical gains across the board and increase induction noise a bit, but, have all over less dort than ITB's Cost difference for the extra ITB dorts was significant though, the total parts for the plenum set up is "around" $2kAUD plus shipping, the ITB's were $4kAUD plus shipping, I was contemplating really hard about paying the extra $2k for all of the dorts, but weirdly, some form of common sense, from listening to the platform experts prevailed  As for the NA mod hate by some, I've had a few boosted cars, with all their inherent issues, I'm now looking at simplicity and legalities for a street car, maybe I'm just getting old, and I'm quite happy to spend some of the kids inheritance, 5kw at a time 馃ぃ And think of all the money I'll be saving on consumables that something with boost needs, like engines, gearboxes, diffs, clutches,  tilt trays... etc. etc. etc. 馃お
    • Haha.  I wouldn't say I am either but I've definitely been around it plenty.  I'm guessing you know the dial in is basically to make a handicap to level the playing field between racers.  The car with the slower dial in goes first and in theory if they run their dial in time and the faster car also does then they cross the finish time if they also have exactly the same reaction time - if you go faster than the dial in them you lose, but if you are too slow there's a good chance the other person will get to the finish line first. I'm normally supporting other cars but they were all pretty dialled and were egging me on to race as well, here's one of the cars I tune (Starlet) which ran within like 1 hundredth of its dial in through the competition: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inEBu-d9Gn4&t=69s
    • Where ever the fuel reg gets it reference is what I use to T into for map reference been a very long time so where it goes to plenum/runners I have no idea but never had issues. 
    • What ecu? Same shop every time? Same ambient temperature? If timing is correct then pull plugs and see if lean or rich. Dyno can also read different if they have changed ramp rate or not set tacho/speed properly  
    • I've never done dial in's just straight up, whatever that's called. I'm far from a drag (racing ) expert.
