pitty those shocks are not really a "racing" style. i find the valving is nowhere. we had a customer with them in his r32.

pulled them out and put in his old tien superstreets and was 4 sec quicker at eastern creek... dont need the rain on your parade, but if you have the oportunity to swap them for the normal bc's id advise it.

sorry still in the newb stage here, but you guys havent had any problems using the bc br's in dailys, i was looking at getting them for my r34 in the 8/6 combo but after driving a friends silvia was wondering wether they'd be bone jarringly stiff like his were. thanks

im looking into getting aset in the next few weeks for my r32 gtr

but will most proberbly go with 6-4kg spring rates and then use the damper adjustment to fine tune them

i think the 8-6kg for sydney roads will be way too stiff...

I've got a set of 8/6 (v1's) on a 4dr 33 as a daily car, they aren't that bone jaring (and I drive about 45-50 mins ea way to work and back) on some of the shittiest roads Brisbane has to offer :).- sometimes have to dodge some of the larger bumps or potholes. I've got them adjusted to about 8 clicks off the softest setting

i got BC BR 's 32 gtst 8/6 combo and i find it to hard/harsh even on lowest damper settings. car is used for daily but gets driven hard at times.

i found it better with 2 up to 6 from softest dampening, so as not to be bouncing from bump to bump and i agree with harder on the front than the rear eg 4/3 on the dampners.

i have had these for around 1 year and i think with the softer springs will be one of the ultimate CHEAPER street setups.

i have put the 6kg rear springs to the front and am waiting for 5kg rear spring to arrive.

i was told they would not fit, but can CONFIRM they fit, only difference is the spring length by around 12mm longer in the rear springs.

i just wound down the bottom spring platforms as you would do normally.

i had shagged stock shocks on king lowed springs and locked at replacing shocks and found to be move affordable and performance buying bc racing coilovers, and after being defected with lowered king springs i wanted the height adjustable, so i could get it closer to legal . :)

    • That ring thing is interesting how it's holding everything together 
    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
