hai guise, its official, im sick of my old tien stiff coils and im getting some new ones, i like stiff suspension, just not as stiff as tiens, slightly softer would be ideal, i have been considoring the BC racing sets on justjap, what are peoples recommendations?

why not just go for a decent shock revalved to suit a decent spring, rather than go for the you beaut cheapo coilovers that have a million and one adjustability settings which no one except a proper suspension workshop with corner weighting facilities and good experience can get right...

i must ask what advantages do you actually find on a dedicated street driven, is the only reason you have them because you like a hard ride? or is it just so you can change the height? im know heaps of cars out there are daily cars with coilovers but i cant justify spending 2k (for GOOD) adjustables when the way you drive on the street will never require them. i have put the money i could have spent of adjustable coilovers into sway bars, strut bars, heaps of new bushes, giving me some mean camber and caster and rigidity. i would do the same again.

how ever each to their own

I have BC V1's that just went on my car, After a bit of adjustment and playing around Im happy with the height etc atm

There pretty good on the street, I wanted to keep the car relatively driveable so went with the V1's with 8kg front and 6kg rear spring rates

Ive only just got the car going again tonight but the limited driving ive done I like them, there not soft by any means but there much nicer then other skylines I've been in with coilovers, Depends what your after really

as I said there not soft.... but there not that hard either

    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
