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

    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
