Lol. Here we go. Whore thread ahoy!

Sorry, didnt mean to start anything, was the first thing that came to my mind. Must get out of the gutter lol.

Out of curiosity, how do you expect the new dampers to compare to something like the ohlins flag r's?

Haha. I don't care mate. Whore away :D

Well, I ain't spending all this money for nothing ;).

What I have in there ATM is basically a flag R, just with a Nismo sticker on it. On the canister you see "Ohlins" written on the canister. Time will tell.

If you dont mind me asking, how much are they charging to do the setup for you? PM me if you like.

Just interested as ive been looking at flag r's or r tunes for my 32R, but if these are just as good or better at a fraction of the cost, it may also be a viable option for me as well.

Staying with remote reservoir?

Me reservoir. The body of the shock is a bilstien PSS9 with Dejan's specs.

My set won't be able to be put into a R32. Totally different suspension setup. How much are you looking at spending? These definately are not "budget" but they're not $10,000 either.

Ill pm you more info.

Yeah, judging by your comments i assumed you used to have (well still have for now) nismo r-tunes, which have a remote reservoir.

I know that R32 and R33 GTR's have a different setup, different weight and geometry, which is why yours would be no good for a 32.

"Budget" is not what im after, and yours is sounding like a good option.

Yeah, please PM me some info if you could, im quite intrigued.

PM's flicked fellas!

Suspension has been put back till the 31st of July. My box of Ikeya bits still hasn't turned up from Japan.... GRRR!

Yea i think i saw that box at the airport when i was working... :ninja:

Dont know where it could of gone... :whistling:

hahaha

Out of interest is it only the nismo r tune coilovers that have the remote reservoir or do the s tunes as well? Reason I ask is I have some sort of nismo suspension in my 34 at the moment and it has a remote reservoir just not sure exactly what it is

So Nick, it turns out you didn't steal my box of gold parts :D. Roll centre adjuster kit and tie rod ends here. That pretty much completes the underneath of the car. I think the only rubber/plastic bush mount on the car is gearbox mounts and engine mounts. ALL the arms are pillow ball and rear diff bushes are alloy.

Dampers should be at Unigroup by now. Booked in for the 31st.

I think thats the box I threw down the stairs cause it had ur name on it :P

cya on the 31st

Haha. Not sure if it would have made any difference. These things are heavy/solid as hell!

    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
    • My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
    • The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.
    • Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
    • Thanks Paul I reached out to Autotainment but they no longer work on JDM cars as the guy who used to do the work moved on and is no longer doing that kind of work. I am talking with Level Up Audio though.
