i read a few reviews from seemingly happy wrx owners but thought i'd check with you blokes.

i found my info by searching on yahoo. could not find anything on skylinesaustralia search.

Had some of these in my first 180 and was very impressed with them, particularly that when you adjusted the damper setting you could actually feel a big difference, unlike most systems I've tried.

I was really happy with them combined with 5zigen springs, great for the street. I'd get them again

cool, thanks phunky monkey.

i was starting to think that no one had heard of them.

i can get these at a good price so i think that i'll give them a go!

thanks for the reply

For what it's worth, KYB actually make the Nismo shocks.

Gotta be happy with that.

cheers

muz....

no sh*t!  i wonder why so few people have heard of them?

Does this mean that they are an inferior product compared to say the more reputable ones like koni's, bilstiens ect???

what?

why would they be inferior if KYB make shocks for nismo, seeing nismo is big up in there on the performance upgrades. KYB is good, kyb make most suspension on standrd cars, along with alot of other parts.

I have kyb agx adjustables on my s15.... They are ok. I bought them because I wanted the adjustability...

Having been in a few cars with bilsteins and konis, they are much better.

Apparently the reason it feels better is because the valving is a lot mores sophisticated.

I think you will find most racecars have european shocks. Japan is good at making many things but shocks isn't there strongest one.

    • If I had "perfect R33 GTR" kinda money I would have bought one of the crazy expensive low mileage HJA cars, but I am sadly not that wealthy. I already picked this car out of various Skylines for sale locally, most of which were worse in some way. Only a few cars were actually better but also more expensive. In terms of buying a motor locally, I at least have the option to inspect it myself and juding the seller as a person, and used or freshly rebuilt engines that some people sell are actually ok price-wise. I knew the car was going to require work, but shit piled up real fast and I haven't even driven 1000km yet as the turbo started oiling like a bitch within a few weeks after I got the car.   I assume it wasn't actually me who cracked it, though there is no way to know when that crack formed and if the previous owner even knew it was there. Buying another 05U Block can be a gamble, yeah, but the cheapest PRP cast block is like twice or more money-wise, and billet is 3 or 3 times as much. For now I am most likely just keeping the current engine, as a rebuild or engine swap isn't happening right now. But I am seriously considering buying a second engine and selling mine in return. Might be a sweet deal at the end.
    • Hi all. I need some help buying the correct size banjo bolts for my 2860 turbos. Because whoever installed them tore up the original part, I ordered new ones of this kind, because I just figured these were the most leak-resistant option as I already had trouble with a shitty braided line. I need to know the thread size of the smaller left hole, that is the turbo oil feed connection. I found out so far that the turbo oil inlet apparently has a 7/16"-24 thread, but I cannot find any listing or description of the thread size on this line. I do not have the original bolts. I tried using the bolts that were in the turbos (the ones that were mounted with the shitty braided line) but they sit very loosely so they can't be the right thread. Means either these bolts are the wrong ones (how do they fit the turbo then? no clue) or the wraparound-lines have a different thread than the turbo oil feed itself. Help is appreciated, asking Nissan directly is obviously not going to work.
    • EDIT: PSA to whoever stumbles upon this thread. It is in fact a crack in the block that caused this concern. Just letting you know. In my case, a few cm long hairline crack going horizontally above the turbo oil feed. Classic RB shit I guess
    • Might as well pop in some cams, head gasket, head studs, and a flex sensor. Full send.
