i want to improve the suspension on the car, i dont want 2 use coilovers (2 stiff) just want a good shock and spring set up that would give the car a lower look and improve the handeling of the car, its not for drifting etc so no need for coilovers, i am going to install the rb25det, keep this in mind when recommending

thanks

Tein Super Streets... 5kg front, and 4kg rear spring rates.. Height adjustable.

Pretty good value too if I remember correctly... Bilstein option may be worth looking further into as well

Coilovers are only hard if you have hard springs in them. Mine arent too bad as my springs refect that. So you need to look at spring rate.

That said if you dont want coilovers thats fine. Id be going the bilstein option either way you run. They are the best bang for buck shock you can get (they are not the cheapest tho, just the next best is x4 or so the price). I've got them on mine and love them. If you want the bilsteins best bet is to PM Sydney Kid.

yea bilstein is the way to go .......i had my jic coilovers rebuilt with biltsetin inserts and softer spring was 8k front and 6 rear and swapped the rears in to the front and gots some new eibach springs for the rear and its is so much nicer now .....bilsteins made a huge difference.

i had initially just swapped int he softer springs but it was handling badly... but when the bilsteins went in it made a huge difference ....ie nice to cruise with... takes out the smaller bumpers but stiffens up heaps in cornering .....still alot firmer than stock though

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
