yep, half the reason i read these forums is to rag on the 'has to be cheap' crew

you can't have your cake and eat it, these HSD coilovers and what not people are talking about are shit and will not give you any ride comfort. why you're so worried about ride comfort in a sports car i don't understand. but steer clear of those cheap chinese/korean copies.

this is why i read this forum there is so many ridiculous comments, what suspension are you running? as for "cheap ass crew" thats just fkn stupid not everyone needs to spend 2-3k + on street suspension and if you want to be technical thats still cheap sh!t compared to the real deal of 10K plus, which im sure your awesome r32 has? :P

hsd has given me no problems what so ever it is comfortable, not bouncy and has full adjustability that i need for my car.

if you don't have money to spend then a skyline isn't the car for you

Well "5ky" you have done a good job at again starting up the debate on which coilovers/suspension to use. Im sure you weren't expecting so many replies haha.

In the end I think you just have to choose one that you can afford because if you aint got the money then there is nothing you can do. People have given you their opinions......choose what you can and then judge for yourself what you like. And please let us know what you did and the result!

Can i suggest going bilsteins with tein S tech for the same price as some cheap coilovers. This will lower an inch or so lower than stock, handle well, ride well, and the quality of the shock is there.

Being easily/locally rebuild-able, when you have the funds, you can get a threaded height adjustable sleeve for them, some Eibach or H&R or Hypercoil springs, and a revalve to match, then slam the car, all the while keeping with the ride quality and control of decent gear.

if we get that technical yeah my wording has been wrong , sorry.

all im trying to say here if he has not had hsd or any other coilovers in his car , did not shock dyno them why call rest of us cheap because we have "these cheap" coilovers.

i have hsd and im happy with them that's all i said , i did not go and say those guys with 10k suspension setups have shit in their car because i read on internet how that certain brand is shit.

and most wouldn't call Greddy shocks quality either, except for those on the "JDM yo" bandwagon.

      I've got cash, it's the NA LOLS I'm after now Plus, I've had a few boosted cars, and it is soooo easy to turn a reliable car into a unreliable drivetrain eating money pit monster by just paging up and chasing more My power goal for the NC is to try for a reliable naturally aspirated 150kw or 200hp atw (I'm old, and the old naturally aspirated cherry of 100hp per litre is a goal that I would like to hit), no more is really needed for what I use the car for,  so a additional 5kw is what I'm chasing now,  that 5kw is about $3k away, I think....

      I dunno. I just go off what I know works. On RB20, the idle switch meant something to the ECU and the potentiometer was ignored. In Nistune, with the switch unplugged, you could bridge the terminals in the loom connector and see IDLE come on and off. Not so by moving the pot. The R32 RB20 ECU and the 26 ECU both look like this. Sure there is the "throttle sensor" (pot) on pin 38, and also sure, the idle switch is also directly wired to the TCU, whereas the pot is only directly conected to the ECU. But I am sure that the throttle position from the pot is passed to the TCU across the data bus on pins 21, 22 & 31. Maybe the ECU likes to know throttle position, but it sure as hell doesn't use it to determine the idle condition. Meanwhile, on the later engines, like the 33 25DET and my Neo, you remove the TPS and move the pot to-from the 0.45V position, and IDLE comes and goes in Nistune. No throttle switch on the ECU diagram. Just the pot.

      So, good news and bad news Bad news first: The intake plenum is lost in the mail apparently, I haven't paid for it yet, and MX5 Mania are still chasing it up, farking 'Merica postal service  Good news: Any retune will be free if and when it turns up,  I'm still keen for them to throw it on The car goes noticeably better, with only the typical initial take off thingie from a choppy cam and manual transmission, but giving it just a little more RPM than before gives it a smooth take off (and hour or so of peak hour traffic sorted that little skill out) Car made around 145kwatw & 225Nm (Intake may get me to 150kw, maybe....馃ぃ) Weirdly, 145kwatw is the same max power that my standard 2015 WRX STI made a few years ago The cam really comes alive from around 3.5k and keeps making power and holds it flatish all the way to 7k, whereas before torque would drop hard around at 4.5k Drive home was sadly in peak hour, although I did get a little clean air here and there to wind out 1st and 2nd a little bit, and whilst the gains aren't anything for the "boosted boys" to be impressed at, the thing is a blast to drive The sound in the vid is poor, as it is in a undercover yard at work, but, outside, in the wild, it sounds awesomeballs to my ears with all the choppyness I consider it money very well spent for the outcome  Cam specs for reference (Basically the biggest you can fit with stock pistons) 20250417_171807.mp4   LOL, I don't think I will ever grow up

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      Swap the injectors around and see what happens. If the misfire follows the injectors then that's a signal, if it doesn't it's probably not the injectors.
