Hey,

What do people think about this: http://www.gtrmod.com/COBB-Tuning-Coilover...ob%209c1800.htm

I want to keep the factory adjustable shock absorbers but also lower it just a little. Looks like these would do?

Anybody got opinions on these? They seem to be a reasonable price.

I used the Mines Eibach Springs in mine and have got a firmer ride and lower ride height. This maintains the factory adjustability. Which ever way you go it is a pig of a job to do as you have to remove the majority of the rear interior to fit whatever you put in.

Good Luck

jpgtr, interesting stuff..what is even more interesting is that you not only own that MAGNIFICENT black GT-R but a 996 911 Turbo as well??- yee hah!

These for me are about the 2 best sports/supercars one can own...how do they compare with one another in terms of performance, drivability, reliability and desirability???

Just so you are aware there are a couple of other options of basically the same thing as those Cobb kits. The main thing to determine is what your plans for the car are as they each come with significantly different spring rates.

The Cobb system is pretty much focused on a street set up where as the below 2 systems are a bit more track focused as far as spring rates go.

I have a set of the T1R coilover kit (the GTC kit pictured is EXACTLY the same as the T1R kit). Used for 2 days before i switched over to a full coilover kit. I will need to check freight cost but it will end up costing you much less than if you buy a new set direct from Canada (or the UK). PM if you are interested.

Hey,

Just wondering why you went for full coilovers after just 2 days?

and how did the factory adjustable shock perform?

    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
    • Twas your car many moons ago that gave me the idea!
