Piglet's Rebuild Of His Busted Tomei 2.8

[R32GOJIRA]

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

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.

[R32GOJIRA]

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.

[fatz]

pm me new how much for the new stuff and also how much you want for the nismo gear

Just personally deliver it then ya jerk! haha

[reaper]

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

[Miguelone]

Some S Tunes do have external reservoirs on the front.

I believe they're made by KYB.

[Sub Boy32]

Would be interested to hear what you think of the shocks when you get them.

I was toying with the idea of getting MCA to make me some custom ones

[Piggaz]

So Nick, it turns out you didn't steal my box of gold parts . 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.

[Aggroman]

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

cya on the 31st

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

[levinboy]

Haha must of been someone else's

[the spruce moose]

Just read the entire thread! Awesome build and mad respect for sticking to -5s, torque FTW!!!!! Would love to see some Dyno comparisons against V8s.

[Piggaz]

Thanks Moose .

A V8 is always gonna feel better low down on the street though. That's just how it is. It's definately nippy .

[XKLABA]

I beg to differ, your car has heaps more down low then my father-in-laws 5.7 chev powered commonwhore
