Sell 34R for something Euro?

[Anfanee]

O wait you track occasionally don't you?

[No Crust Racing]

Car has never been to the track during my ownership, is unlikely to go more than a few times while I have it. 

[Anfanee]

Ehhhhhhhhhhhh personally for a street only car where worried about comfort (as i am) dunno if the XR's are worth the extra dosh.

Wow. You're in your 30's and complaining about the gtr being uncomfortable?

Soft man, soft.

*Looks at the suspension in the car...*

I see the issue here.

With a lovely chassis like the 34 with some decent rubber and power, the valving performance offered with the X-R series I feel would be ideal. 

The Blue series are an excellent package for the price point but are a street/comfort orientated style setup that when using your car for even spirited street driving may not offer the support needed with your level of rubber and the AWD. Blue series are $1590 inc GST and come with default spring rates of 9kg front and 3.5kg rear.

The difference between the X-R and X-C is all in the valving, this determines how a shock works and gives it its characteristics. The X-C series are developed for comfort and ride quality only, so again I feel if wanting to exploit your chassis and power this would be a little lacking compared to the X-R series.

The X-R series paired with the spring rates recommended are aimed at being the best blend between performance and ride quality with only our custom valved Red series offering a better blend.

Nah, get the Blue and tell them street use ;).

Massive difference between my TEIN and Ohlins (all second hand), Ohlins are "street" setup and valved/sprung softer, so driving around is much nicer.

TEIN and current HKS suspension can get airborn, Ohlins rode over them quite nicely (for a short stroke damper).

Would be even better with the "better" R34 chassis. But then I don't know how smooth your roads are compared to Sydney.

A mate bought some Blue for his Evo8, probably more comfortable than the stockers.

You cant have your cake and eat it too. This applies to almost every aspect of cars. People will say a lot of things to sell you products.

[niZmO_Man]

Or upgrade your work car to a Volvo S90/V90.

[No Crust Racing]

Suspension is probably 3rd on my list given the current ones "work". 

No point paying out of my own pocket to upgrade a free car.

SQ5 would be my pick

Magnificent low Km "IS-F" at Earlwood/Sydney. Silver.
I've driven this one, and it's nowhere in the 90s..., or 80s..., or 70s...
You can contact God_speed here on SAU

What was your take on it Terry? 

[JGTC]

Another nice choice I thought would be a Cayman Std/S which would be down on power but would sure be a nice drive.

Also good value in the low $30K mark are the Z4Ms hardtops

No way should you spend 60k on a car that doesn't make 200kw...

Also the Z4 looks like a busted crab 0_0

[JGTC]

aha, fair enough

* Response is immediate without hesitation 

* I never used the brakes in quick succession to detect any fade

* Cornering is really good whilst having driven M3s before. Good tyres on the car help of course.

* Power curve through the gears is strong and seamless

* Steering has good feel but it's not as connected compared to a GTR of course.

* Comparable certainly with any  M3 I've driven. So whilst it's a buyers market especially for the next 10 weeks, try it out. when you plant your foot down, the V8 sound is sublime .
