So i remember the previous owner of my stagea told me the rear had stock suspension, now i just thought he had no idea seeming how low the rear was.

The rear has felt really "saggy" lately so last ngiht i thought i would have a look.

So it seems yeas, i had stock rear suspension, but it is totally stuffed, im able to push the suspension down with my hands =(

Seeming i didnt wanna drive it with such bad suspension i have now put good stock suspension in the rear, and it looks terrible lol.

So now to figure out what i want to do, i dont wanna guy new coil over for the rear as i have a lot of other stuff i have to pay for at the moment,

dont know weather to leave it like this, or try and find some rear suspension thats lowered and good condion????

Before and after pics attached

also whats in the front, make sure it matches. are they just lowered springs alround with shot rear shocks? if so just put new shocks in. dunno why you would run coilovers in the rear and not the front?

It's funny that since you sold me your rear coilovers a mate of yours and now you could have used them! Took a little work to free up the lock nuts but they work all good!

Unlucky....

this is a little odd. why ever run coilovers on the front and not the rear? just take the coilovers out, use stock stuff which someone is surely selling cheap (sold mine sorry) and buy a propper set of matching coilovers when the money is available.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah, apparently the way to do it is just mess with how much timing the engine uses to try to correct idle. So it massively undershoots, then overshoots, then undershoots, then overshoots. So timing is going from 5deg to 45deg to 5 deg to 45deg. But I kinda prefer the car to not lurch around and have a dependable idle. Given it didn't idle for shit and stalled about 7 times on the way home, still yet to drive it for the 2nd time to see if it's fixed.

      Alright. Many little things have been sorted and the car successfully drove home with an incredibly huge exhaust leak. Unsure if it's simply been awhile, but new heads and cam and intake sound f**kin awesome. It might only be me that notices it though, and it's hard to tell from a 15 minute gauntlet run home and attempting to bleed the radiator. Undertrays on, tools out, road brake pads in, idle un-f***ed, time to do some road tuning. From my commute around town it sounds and drives *really* nice (with a max of like 35% throttle). It'll go to a dyno for a proper before and after once the tune is more roughly dialled in. And @Dose Pipe Sutututu I did learn how to do a proper chop tune at idle. I did indeed even do it, but the car shaking around at idle from the driverr seat made me make it smooth again.. I feared for my engine mounts and clerances to engine bay jank. . After the exhaust is fixed I may mess around with it more. I'm just happy to have it drive around without bucking or stalling which is a WIP.

      Oh and my rear arms may need some attention too.

      Bushings are almost done. Check the date stamp 😂 these are likely the original bushings with 27 years and 243ks on them.     Was too dark to get a pic of the worst one.
