Guys thankyou very much for the feedback so far!

I would like to ask if it would be worth getting rid of my 18's

and getting some 17' alloys like some 33 gtr rims with some better tyres or something along those lines?

I will definetly look into adjustable camber bushes for the rear, I do have some on the front.

I like the tein coilovers when driving although maybe I can adjust the stiffness so they are a bit softer. Can you do this with HA's?

That should give a good improvement!

Would there be anything else besides changing the suspension setup?

Thanks

Mark :O

Thanks Phunky Monkey!

Guys I have adjusted my shocks.

I found out that they were set on the stiffest setting all round.

So I set the rear to the softest setting and and the front is about 2-3 clicks away from the stiffest setting.

I took the car out for a drive and on the road you can really notice the difference in the setting. Unfortunatly it was wet so I didn't get to test the traction. Hopefully I will let you guys know how it goes tonight.

Im quite happy so far how springy the rear end is, hopefully it makes a good difference.

Thanks for all the advice so far!

Mark

Chances are that even though you let the damper down on its softest settings....the problem is your springs. I had same problem, spring rates will be off the scale and that will be the single most negative feature to your traction quest. Get softer springs for the rear at least. SK will know whats best for a r32 setup.

    • Ah ok. I seem to be mixing it like everyone else does so not sure what's happening. Will experiment with it more.
    • Depends on what you mean by OK. First up, was this done cold or hot? Are they reasonably consistent? Yes, they are reasonably consistent. Could be better. But unless it has had a build at some point, it is a ~30 year old engine and you'd expect some variation. Some of the difference could also be in user technique Is it good compression? Well....not numerically, no. New they were >160 psi. The one at 140 would be fine, in that context. If they were all ~140, you'd be reasonably happy. But the one that is @120 is twice as far down from the original numbers as the one @ 140. But.. (again)... technique can play a part in the absolute magnitude of these numbers, and the quality/state of repair/accuracy of the pressure gauge is not known. In the context of the above, the compression tester that was used last on my car is regularly compared to a known good pressure gauge. Not calibrated, exactly, but compared to a reference instrument that is not used for any other purpose, so cops no abuse. So we can trust the measurements off that tester. But another tester in the same workshop wasn't being compared against the standard and was reading a good 30ish psi lower. When you're reading 100 psu but the engine is really doing 130, you can make bad decisions.
    • More likely from tiny bubbles in the filler/putty. Maybe be less aggressive when mixing it. Perhaps invest in a vacuum chamber to pull the air bubbles out?** **I don't know if this is a thing for body filler. I see hardcore epoxy makers degassing their mixed resin on the regular.
    • IIRC, the speedo on these is fed from the sensor in/on the snout of the diff.
    • They were. I bought the AWD for experimenting but racing it would disqualify or disadvantage me from a few race classes. Def getting a FWD for racing.
