Yeah sorry that's my bad, A v8 is what was said and my father in law has A v8 and Paul makes more rwkws at 3000 then that v8 makes peak at the fly

That said spend the kind of coin I guesstimate Paul has making his the machine it is to a V8 and between 2-3000 rpm you'd be pissin in the wind trying to match it

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 ;).

Haha nippy! You been hanging around me too long! My baby 270kw Evo is nippy the sperminator bitch slaps you in the forehead when she comes on! ;)

So, the dampers arrived but Dejan didn't order the pillow tops as he thought we would reuse my current ones. Only issue is, how do I sell my Nismo's without tops? Errrr. So new Bilstien ones were ordered.... Wern't cheap. Now, just my luck, the guy that assembled the dampers wants to put these tops on. Something to do with the height of something (not sure why Dejan can't put them on but anyway....). This guy however is on a flight to god knows where and won't be back till Tuesday. Grrrrr

So now the plan is, install everything on Wednesday, modify the HICAS lockout bar to move up then point the wheels in the right direction on Thursday.

Just got home after unbeaching the whale off Unigroup's shores.

Suspension feel's incredible. It's on number 2 of 8 or 9. Soaks up bumps and stuff with ease. Very progressive in how it breaks traction too. You can almost "feel" when its about to go. On hard breaking, the nervous and wandering around rear end is gone completely! Having said that, there was a few little geometry changes which would have helped eliminate that.

We ended up with spring rates of 14 kg/mm on the front and 9 kg/mm at the rear. Feels softer (and definately more compliant) than the Nismo S Tunes I had in there a few years ago.

The car is sitting fractionally lower than what it was before, but, no problems over speed humps and driveways. Thank god! I made sure Dejan knew it's not a time attack/track pig!

    • Both windows operate normally while the engine is running but start to sag as soon as I switch off.  Does anyone know of reasonably priced replacements or other brands that will fit?
    • Actually PowerFC is probably the easiest to get basic data from, it comes with a hand controller and display so you don't need to remember to pack a laptop every time you drive. It also has a PC based viewing/logging option if required. Nissan used consult on these because back in the mid 80s, ODB was just a glint in a standard's body's eyes.  They switched to OBD shape around 2000 (my 2001 Cima had OBD shaped but not OBD compliant port) With the standard ECU there is a cable and software available to give basic data too, I think it is called Nissan Data Scan or s
    • Given by the sheer number of questions about offset, absolutely not. If you had the information formatted this way: Space from R34 GTT hub to outer arch = 100mm Space from R34 GTT inner hub to nearest suspension arm = 90mm. (making this up) Buying a wheel that was advertised as Enkei RPZ5 Diameter 18in Width 9 Distance to arch = 84mm Distance to suspension arm = 76mm 100% of people would know instantly if it fits. They would absolutely also know instantly how close it fits too, and no questions would need to be asked. You would know you would have 16mm from the guard and 14mm from the suspension arm.
    • Ah ok, for example for the apexi ecu I heard that it's pretty limited with the information it can give you. Also not sure why Nissan used the consult port over the obd2, what the idea there was.
    • Diagnosing with and without is mostly the same. You need to know, as Duncan asked, and what conditions. Car hot, cold, idling, driving, if while driving what rpms, is when you're varying, or is it when held constant.   From there it's understanding what can be causing it. Starting with pretending all of the sensors are correct. Which means if it's going rich, why would it be thinking more air is going in than it is, and under what conditions. So things like if only when under boost, it could be be a loose intake piping joint. It's just understanding the system, and understanding when/how the problem occurs, and then if it's only occuring in specific scenarios, what can be causing it.   ECU specifically, if it's aftermarket, it'll have software you can use, for the Skylines on factory ECU, there is Nissan Consult you can use. Most ECUs have a way to get data from them.
