Hi Team

I bought a new BC racing suspension and had it fitted last week end.

I have problems with the rear as it is very low and there is only 2 to 2 1/2 travel in the shock before it hits the top (body)

The car has seperate coil and shock setup, I have fitted the new rear coils and they are adjusted for maximum height.

My car is a 2001 300gt 4dr sedan. Has anyone installed the BC racing rear suspension and can tell me the part numbers so I can check with mine.

Cheers, Oz

Hi

BC Racing V1's as I dont do track work and only do long distance country trips.

The old suspension just could not do the rough highways.

Does the gold series have a spacer between the coil and the lower control arm?

sorry but the the question makes no sense???

"too low" ??? does not compute :P

The gap between the top of the shock tube and the body is only about 2.5 to 3 inches of travel.

So in essence the shock can only travel 3 inches up before hitting the top mount.

Is this normal?

Someone has told me to extend the shock to raise the height but it is not a coil over so I don't understand how this can work.

Cheers, Oz

Yes they can still be adjusted.

On the shock you loosen the adjuster (red part?) and actually twist the body of the shock.

You have to also adjust the spring perch by the same amount. You do this by loosening one of the red adjusters and then twisting the one which the spring sits on.

I will try to find my manual and scan it for you. Pictures will tell a thousand words.

Hi all

Problem is now solved.

I had the suspension fitted by a profeesional (P) and thought they would do it properly.

So over the weekend and with instructions in hand, I adjusted the whole lot myself.

Problems found along the way:

Lost and striped wheel nuts.

Rear shocks not adjusted correctly if at all (over-extended).

Loose lock rings on front right side front.

Bent tabs for ABS on left side front.

I have video of what I had to do to fix the rear shocks

Outcome:

System is now working fantastic and I am fine tuning the damping.

My thanks to JustJap for thier fantastic help and sticking with me though the process of getting this all sorted (We need more companies with the same attitude here)

Thanks everyone, Oz

      And that's a massive problem, because deadshits will deadshit and give you false details. At least in these days of mobile cameraphones, it is trivial to take photos of any ID they are carrying at the same time as the 300 photo extensive documentation of the state of the vehicles that I recommend even for minor incidents. And you get photos of the person's face, any visible tatoos, etc etc, while you're at it. Then you try to avoid mentioning that you're fully capable of making explosives of various power levels and will wreck their shit if you are forced to hunt them down.

      No, I don't remember the exact reasoning (was 20 years ago!) but the cops didn't end up supplying it to us either. Actually my mother went through a similar thing recently where she was hit when stationary, flustered and didn't get address (she got plate details, name, phone and insurance company, but not address). Person who hit her blocked her number and their insurance company (naturally) would not provide any details. Her insurance company also required her to pay the at fault premium because she did not have the address, cops did not help as it is a minor civil matter (they said their only course was if the other driver had left the scene of the accident without providing any details). She only ended up getting that refunded because they happened to be insured with Suncorp and she was with APIA so same company owners. For some reason the address is critical in insurance companies recovering money from the at fault party

      If you're driving something like an R32 through to R34, no chance of meeting Euro4. Euro4 came out in 2006, and car manufacturers back then were complaining how hard it would be to meet those regulations. Not a chance a vehicle 10 years earlier is going to be compliant.

      I presume it would take more than just slapping a big modern catalyst on the exhaust? It's interesting though, looking at the old sales brochures and listings it does not mention anything about emissions. No one cared.

      Yeh nice, looks like their part of keep it reet? Will have to swing past. I'd much prefer someone actually look at my car and custom make a part, then get a generic part online and hope it works.
