Couldn't tell you who it was just a sale guy at justjap. The dampers are inside the coils so I imagine it makes piss all difference to rim clearance. Mounting would be the same I imagine. Call justjap to confirm though but I can't see it being much differece, if any.

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

The 8/6 are fine on the road for the R33, but it is a larger heavier car.I've got an ADM S15 and was thinking 4/4, 5/4 or something.

Not too such about having equal rate front and back mate.

You don't have much travel on the front as in the rear. You'd have to have the car pretty high (near stock) to not get it to slam on the tire when braking into a corner.

hey guys i just put the BC's in my car - BR type on my 34 n/a coupe.

ive got them on the softest setting possible, and its great.

only problem is when the roads were wet yesterday after a long dry period, after turning a corner the tyres would loose traction under acceleration - even very lightly accelerating (i was driving granny spec, since i know roads tend to be quite slippery when it rains after a dry period)

is this somewhat normal? my car has never lost traction so badly or as much as yesterday in the 3 years ive had it so far

Did you lower the car when you put the coilovers in? This will mess up your alignment, which can give you traction issues

yeah the coilovers lowered it massively, it was on stock suspension before

thanks for that mate cleared it up well! I need to pop by bridgestone anyway, one of my studs broke when the wheels were being removed.

thanks again, glad its a somewhat easy fix!

big difference from stock suspension hey, i had some V1's installed set at about 8 from softest. havent lost traction yet (driving dry or wet) on some of the crappiest roads brisbane has to offer.

yeah its a huge difference, brings a smile to my face everytime i go for a drive still haha

thankfully its not too stiff, my kidneys are still intact! I was pretty worried about that.

Will be even better once i get my alignment sorted and the wheel nut fixed up :)

Ill get some pics up once i get time to detail my car ric :)

Couldn't get the link to work; what's the context behind the broken strut?

That would be the weakest part of the damper. I imagine it would happen to most thread adjustable dampers in a crash.

Quite possible; I'm more wondering if they're implying that the coilover breaking caused the car to crash, or this is what they found after a car crashed & decided it was the cause; rather than an effect.

      Fixing exhaust position?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I'd want an even MORE side on view. More or less you want to make sure the outlet is actually square with the outermost part of the bumper. Or you end up getting soot all over your bumper from your hektik exhaust. In any case, it looks pretty close. I think the way to fix this is probably more of an overhaul at an exhaust specialty shop if you want tips that are rounded off or sit nicely with the bumper but have proper clearance and don't move - Probably more of a redesign than a quick fix. I've pencilled in my own exhaust with its own various problems, pinholes, PITA fitment, and other issues and can see myself going to a shop and saying "JUST DO THIS BUT BETTER?"  Which is gonna work better than any more small fixes. I'm gonna chime in here officially with "from an outsider perspective this exhaust looks fine so this is self OCD probably" (which I also suffer from)

      It be 40°C outside lately. 10W60 is a good idea here. Well, certainly 10W50.

      RB25DET Engine Oil Dipstick Length

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      I just did an oil change on my daily which used oil that is probably 2-3 years old. Normally I try to follow exact viscosities, but my LS400 is fairly tolerant. Dumped something like half a quart of 0W30 Mobil1 ESP X2 in there, followed by 2 quarts Pennzoil 5W30, followed by ~1.2 quarts of liquimoly 5W30 LL04 spec oil. Then the rest was QS euro 5W40 which is actually so thin it's basically a 30 weight oil. All this is to say it doesn't matter that much. We aren't talking about brake fluid. For an RB I would recommend a high ZDDP oil because it doesn't use rollers in the interface between the cam and valve, but a 5W30 or 5W40 is fine to use for street use. The 10W60 guidance really only applies if you're getting it hot and pushing the engine hard.
