Have you bought stuff from him?

The price is great! $1165 delivered for BC BRs :woot: .. Thinking of ordering them on Monday

Yeah got mine for that price off him a couple of weeks back! Good to deal with too!

I am going to sell my old R34GTT Teins for $400 as the rears need seals/rebuild (quoted $195 a side through Fulcrum) so if someone wants a cheap set of coilovers PM me, they are coming out this week.....

I have had BC BR's on my R34 GTT Sedan for about a year, very happy with them. After eons of research I went with custom rates of F:6kg and R:5kg. Turns out these work very well on all types of normal roads in Victoria. In fact, I would rate these over the Yellow Koni + King Spring combo on the Monaro that was over twice the price of the BR's back in the day. I'm running the BR's with bigger swaybars front and rear, a Whiteline camber kit and alignment by Trutrack.

Oh yeah I got mine from JustJap, they sent me the wrong springs at first (stock 8/6) but didn't muck around getting them swapped for the custom ones. I also got a very recent build date on my coilovers, maybe another reason to order with custom spring rates?

can anyone tell me wht type of suspension is on the sedan r34 gtt ? is it the same as the coupe or different?

Same as the coupe as far as the mounts go, just make sure you get the correct type for the rear though (fork for RWD GTT, eyelet for RWD GT, I think 4WD is eyelet too).

However, the weight distribution between coupe and sedan is different, which affects your spring rate selection. Ideally you'd want the car corner weighted before choosing your springs. I didn't, just went with F:6 and R:5, on the assumption that there's a bit more weight in the rear of the sedan.

Quite sure I made the right decision going for these.. But I saw a 33 at my painters shop with fully adjsutable HKS system (probably worth 12k).. *droolll* lol ..

Apparently hes gettin a motor for it from US as well. Gaurds have been widened and a roll cage is being installed.

guys i dont know if i am thread bumping or something but i came across this coilovers which are quite cheap. i have had their springs in my dc5 for quite long and they have given me good service.

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/200745050312?ru=http://www.ebay.com.au/sch/i.html?_sacat%3D0%26_from%3DR40%26_nkw%3D200745050312%26_rdc%3D1#ht_2930wt_960

but i realise that the spring rates are 10 in front and 8 in the rear.will that be a problem becasue i am a noob in suspension knowledge.and i also dont know what spring rates the stock suspension has.

any help regarding this will be really appreciated.

From what I know lowered King Springs are approximately F:3.7kg and R:3.1kg. These are stiffer than stock suspension, which means that stock is even lower than these spring rates. I personally would only consider 10/8 for the track. What kind of roads do you normally drive on?

Pricewise, ~$800 delivered is a good deal for coilovers - you can't even really get new shocks & lowered springs for that kind of money. However, BC's are about 1.2K so not that much more and there's lots of people running them successfully. Up to you.

      Sadly I can confirm if you are actually seeking to drift, you will quite easily spin up one wheel. Even if you're going in a straight line. I am not entirely sure of the metrics/terminology here but there's only a certain amount that the helical will actually spin both wheels. I've seen it on video with my own car where two lines of smoke switch over to just one after you really get in to it. Unlike with a clutch diff where you can keep your foot planted until the car regains grip, in my experience with the helical you want to be utilizing traction control allowing LIMITED slip or lifting (partially) when you start to spin up both tyres with a Nissan helical. Which makes them pretty sub optimal for drifting duty. That said... this is probably a helical on numbers alone. Just put the Kazz in

      Let's just fix the problem by f**king the rest of the gearbox.

      Unlikely, as per Greg's post. This is not helical diff behaviour unless one wheel is up off the ground. Shimming what? You don't "shim" a mechanical LSD. Probably not in the sense that you have heard of people "shimming" a diff. And the process that Nissan f**kwits call "shimming" a diff involves super-preloading a VLSD cartridge against the side of the diff to create a friction/wear point (in a place that it wasn't supposed to have one) to make the sloppy, useless, viscous diff into a hybrid viscous/mech abortion. In case it isn't clear, I consider the process to be stupid. Nike.
