[rtune]

Well, pretty much I'm done screwing around with my v-spec ii r-tune.

I've only a few more niggles. You can see the missing center caps for one.

I need a new battery.

I'd like some coilovers that are up to Ohlins standards but are quiet.

Any recommendations?

Damn, how long have you been hiding this R1..?

I never knew...

Nismo R-Tune R1 + HKS V-CAM, the car must really go hard.

What suspension you got in atm?

I have Cusco's atm but I must say are quite hard, but I felt Tein's are quite good.

2530s so I think it is 375 kw at 24psi but I have all the original bits so can return

to stock some time.

driving around like a granny it is smooth and quiet which makes the violence when it

boosts even more freaky.

ohlins flag-r and they feel great, not hard or bone jarring, despite having 10lb springs.

but .. they rattle on the mounts @ the rear, and I'm told that is just the way it is. Not

audible when pushing it, just when dawdling around. It bugs me.

^^ Nice!

Built / Imported from Nismo Factory yeah..?

Have you got the rear coil overs checked out to see what the rattling noise is?

[rtune]

they were installed replacing s-tune, and two different places said I'd have to live with it, Croydon was one of them.

but on another forum someone said they cut out rubber from a mat and used that in the mounts

somehow! (not flag-r but other Ohlins). Would be a shame to give them up if its just one fix away

from being done.

All the Nismo S1 and R1 engine builds come right out from the Omori Factory and a special build plate can be seen on the right strut tower.

I'm so jealous Justin, I've never seen an R1 engine before but plenty of S1's. I'll pm you about meetup soon and talk about my coilovers I use.

Yeah I knew that, what I was trying to ask was did Moneypit import it directly from the Nismo Omori Factory or was it bought from an Import place.

I should have explained myself

it is a zele car, the original owner had omori do the R1 conversion in 2003. I think if I was in Japan with a mint R34 I'd do the same. For the price you can screw up in far greater style by going to some tuning shop or another. And the car is very much still as tractable as it was stock.

^^ I see... Awesome!

So how did you go with your coilovers?

Still making a noise?

I'm going to take it to tunehouse in a couple of weeks, and see what they recommend.

To get a 2nd opinion yeah..?

Ohlins are nice and IMO, no suspension should just rattle and have to live with it.

Yeah you put up with the bumpy / hard ride but noise wise, gota be checked out.

I've used a couple of set of Ohlins in the past and they were actually very, very smooth on the street, even with higher spring rates.
