Hey guys, Just picked up my GTR and it has Ohlins Coilovers in i that are too low for this creaky old body, was wondering if anyone wanted to swap theirs for mine. Want height adjust if I can so the car is slightly lower than standard and a little softer for my back. Let me know if anyone is interested. Thanks guys.

Oh and my exhaust is bloody big and loud, would like to trade for something a little quiter, will try and give specs tomoz but I think it is a mandrel bent 4.5 inch,it is big. Let me know. Pics of how car sit and size of Exhaust.

Japanese Ohlins are OK shocks, they are usually height adjustable either via circlips grooves or screw thread lower sprng seats. What height is it, all 4 corners, centre of wheels to guards? Once I know that I can make some suggestions. I have worked on several GTR's equiped with Ohlins, usually a quick height increase and/or a spring srate change makes them a pretty good set up. Don't thow out the baby with the bathwater.

;) cheers :D

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
