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

    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
