Hey guys, if it helps, I've fitted BC's to a bunch of cars at work now. I've got customers in Soarers, Skylines, Silvias and Subarus that I've fitted BC's to and all are doing very well. All customers are happy with the BC's, great product.

I'll be fitting them to my own Skyline in the not too distant future also.

Anyone interested in buying some Tein type HA jap spec coilovers out of my R33?

Would seem to be the sensible consensus for coilovers.

After being in multiple cars with both BC and MCAs i would literally bin the BC's. The MCA's are leagues ahead.

I was at 8F 6R and they were quite nice to drive on... Smoother than my old Tein setup... The front sprint rate is closer to 12kg on mine now... Nope, its in my file at Road2Race, it was a pretty e

Are these BC's Kidney Bashers as the Jap ones in my GTR now are killing me on every bump and the Left rear has a Bad Bang in it so they are Fooked.

Thinking of getting a set of these, mainly do Around Town driving and a bit of Highway on occasions... Are they easy to live with in normal conditions???

Cheers Dave

No issues with mine, have been running them in my stagea daily for 9 months.

I have fairly soft springs fitted, almost stock rates, but the dampening is set firm. They feel great on the road, well worth the money.

As with any coilover it depends on what spring rate you get. You probably want 4fr/3rr or 6fr/4rr for a decent ride.

Has anyone used these coilovers on the track? I am thinking of getting these for track days so I am interested to see what peoples thoughts are for these proposes.

I got a set of the BC ER's (external reservoir) made up for my R32 GTR that see's the track regularly. The standard rates they come with are 12kg front and 10kg rear which I think is way too hard. After liaising with Just Jap, i got the factory to produce a set with 8kg front and 6kg rear. They also revalved them for these spring rates and extended the lengths to ensure they would run at the heights i wanted.

I couldnt be happier with them. On the road i have compression and rebound set to full soft and on the track i have found that about the midpoint on both compression and rebound gives me the best feel. Coupled with the whiteline swaybars front and rear, the car is very neutral now whereas it used to be very understeer dominant. Ive cut my times down at lakeside substantially with these coilovers (and with the swaybars).

I couldnt be more happy with the service from Darron at Just Jap either. I was really impressed with the running around he did for me and the quick response time. I fully recommend these to anyone who are after a good track coilover without compromising too much on the street.

Cool looks like they hold up really well. I've been doing some research on them and there is a lot of good reviews through the other forums. Did it cost more to change the spring rates? If you don't mind how much did it all cost with swaybars as well? I am looking at doing the same thing if I go ahead and buy the BC's. PM me if you like. Cheers

Go for it, i went from Tein HAs that were in need of a bit of a rebuild and left my kidney on the side of the road to BC BR series and WOW!! so much nicer to drive my GTR as a daily now

The custom spring rates and setup were the same price which I thought was pretty amazing. There was a lot of extra effort put in to get them made up and at no extra charge to me! I got the swaybars through a seller on here or nissansilvia i think, they are Whiteline adjustable products and were around 210 each from memory.

This is what I was after, My Jap Ohlins that came with the car when I got it are terrible.... Lose my breath on some bumps!

Just ordered with JJ so we will see soon!!!!

Is it really worth going the ext resovoir BC's or is that just overkill for a daily/occasioanl track use?

If its mainly a streeter, just go the BR series mate. The ER's are great, but are more track oriented (harder). If i was choosing some for a daily, i would be going possibly the BR's with 6kg front, 4kg rear as a max spring rate combo

Just wondering, for those saying they love the BR series (for street), did you go with the standard f:8 r:6 spring rates from just jap? Or perhaps not quite as stiff as SLVR32 is mentioning above?

I went for the 8kg Front and 6kg Rear as per the site and it seem good for the short drive I did today after install.

Compared to what I had in there they are like silk..LOL

Just need to set my heights back to where they were and play with the dampening a little bit.

see i was thinking the same going BR's

iv currently got bilstien's on my gtr, and my rear left knocks like a motherf*ker, but bilstiens are an alright brand, so im thinking of jus overhauling them at pedders or somthing.

      Boost level and torque curve

      By Lithium · Posted

      There is a LOT of stuff that can be done, it all depends on how much time and money you want to spend on doing in.  Not all ECUs will be able to do it, and the more control you need the more time and knowledge needs to be put into making it work.  If you're willing to spend the time and money and have the right hardware and skills involved there's a lot that can be done.

      I am impressed with all this level of adjustment. I didn't expect all this possibility

      Boost level and torque curve

      By Lithium · Posted

      Correct.  In the case of the 500kw dyno plot I showed you the car actually runs two boost control solenoids for boost control and a 5psi wastegate spring.  It allows me to control how much boost pressure is applied to both sides of the wastegate valve at any point and fairly accurately control boost target as a result. I've tuned it so that it's able to target anywhere from 5psi to 25psi depending on what's needed.  The target tables I've set up in that car are Gear vs RPM, so every gear has potential for a different boost (and torque) curve.   First and second gear have quite low boost targets, third gear actually has different target boost all the way through the rpm range as it's a stock RB25 gearbox - the boost targets have been chosen to maintain a peak of 600nm (what the owner has set as the maximum torque he's happy with putting through the stock 3rd gear) but it carries that to the rev limiter.   The boost curve to achieve that is something of a ramp up, then hold, then ramp up again and the power curve looks more like a flat line haha.

      so you can decrease or increase the boost depending on the diet as you wish?     by acting on the wastegate?

      That's torque and power, it's all from a single run.  The boost curve is "held back" from it's peak target in the 3500rpm to 5000rpm range from memory, so it ramps hard to something like 18psi then climbs more progressively to 23psi nearer 5000rpm.   It makes the torque (and power) ramp more "natural" and less hard on parts and traction, it doesn't feel artificially held back.
