i currently have bilstein coilovers on my V35 but am thinking about changing to something a little more aggressive for track work. just wondering i there are any coilovers that could be recommended by those of you with some track experience (not bc,killerB,or any eBay specials)

i have been considering Aragosta TypeS, JIC FLT-TAR, Zeal FunctionX.most running 12kg/mm front and 10kg/mm rear springs.

Also would be doing bushings at the same time,can anyone comment on SuperPro and Nismo bushings?

You must have a sizeable bank account to be quoting on aragosta's. If you're not happy with your billies then aragosta or ohlins are your only real upgrades.....

Bilstiens are pretty awesome - so it's surprising you're unhappy - or is it just that you want a stiffer setup? If that's the case, you should just get them rebuilt with custom valving - that's the beauty of Bilstiens. Shops like Fulcrum can turn your Bilstiens into what ever you want them to be.

I would suggest signing up to zclub.com.au and asking the question there. Those guys far more regularly track their cars, and given the suspension is the same I reckon you'll get better answers backed by experience there. I know for example there is a guy on there (MR RIZK) that has just sold his PSS10's for Ohlins. I reckon asking him your question would get you all the answers you need.

Why wouldn't you consider BC BR series coils? They'd do the job, unless of course your car is running a lot of power and do series track work..

As for bushes, i have used factory revised bushes for both my compression rod bushes and haven't had any problems yet and it's been about 5000km. I would recommend Whiteline or Superpro for control arm etc..

thanks forthe replies guys. definitey agree a set of s tyres will make the biggest difference in lap time-my lap times at mallala in my integra dropped from high 1:26s on street tyres to low 1:23s on RE55s.

stil i am considering changing the coilovers too.just waiting on a few quotes..so there might be a set of Bilstein coilovers up for sale soon :)

    • Oh yeah forgot to also mention need to also unplug the IACV as well. Thanks for the reminder @MBS206 Unplugging the TPS takes it out of closed loop so you're able to screw down the IACV without the ECU trying to add/subtract timing to maintain the idle (not sure PowerFC can even do this, but Nistune and the OEM definitely does)
    • For sale is my 1999 Nissan Skyline R34 GT-T, tuned to 234 kW / 313 hp. I've had the car for a few years as my daily driver. The car is original (as far as Skylines go), with only a few minor upgrades to enhance performance and driving experience, as typical for such a car of its age. Overall, it is in great condition with no body rust, thanks to its earlier import date. It features a top-notch security system (not literally, but it's great!) with remote start and still functional 4-wheel steering via HICAS. It comes with several performance and handling upgrades, including:     Hypergear 450HP Turbocharger running 17 PSI boost, installed mid-2021 by Jaustech     550cc injectors     Nistune ECU     Front-Mount Return-Flow Intercooler     X-Force Stainless Steel Exhaust     Upgraded engine mounts     Bottom end bearings replaced     BC Coilovers     Lenso DR1 rims     Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin RE003 TL 245/40R18 97W tires, fitted early 2023 The interior is mostly stock, with a few additions:     Viper Satellite Tracking System with remote start     Bluetooth Double-Din Touchscreen Head Unit     Steering wheel cover Cons:     A few paint imperfections here and there     Driver’s seat shows more wear than the others. It's not torn at all, but I've added a seat cover to protect its condition. I also have a CarVX Vehicle History report available for serious buyers, so you don’t need to purchase it yourself. Price: $26,000 ONO.
    • I've had two suzukis in the past have an extremely hard time turning over and not starting after sitting for a few weeks. Ended up the alternator would seize up causing the starter to force. Same issue both times.  Maybe they're sourcing their alternators from the same place...
    • Ah right. Maybe my rb just loves chewing through batteries lol.
    • On the R34 can't you just unplug the IACV? This is the way I've always done it on the R33. Disconnect IACV, get it idling around 650rpm, and then do a power reset on the ECU to get it to relearn idle (factory ECU).   The big reason no one has touched on as to why you'd want to get the base idle right, is that it means the computer needs to make smaller adjustments to get a good idle at 700-750rpm.   Also, cleaning the IACV won't normally make the car suddenly idle lower or higher. The main issue with the IACV gumming up is that the valve sticks. This means the inputs the ECU gives, aren't translating to changes in air flow. This can cause idle choppy ness as the ECU is now needing to give a lot of input to get movement, but then it moves too far, and then has to do the same in reverse, and it can mean the ECU can't catch stalls quickly either.
