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.

cheers

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 :)

      I like it when the counter chick leads you out the back into the racks and says "have a grub around in here and see if you can find what you need. I'll be back in a few minutes. Just left me in front of a massive motorised shelving system and 2-3 million fasteners, so I could find a peculiar SS shoulder bolt with cap head. Gotta love country towns.

      I used this https://osgiken.com.au/product/os-giken-os-250r-lsd-gear-oil-80w250-1-litre/   shut my nismo 1.5 pro up by heaps…. Not silent though. Gives the car character and personality. It ain’t a carolla. If you want silent, put a quaife in it.

      It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...

      I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate

      Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
