Super Comfy Gtr Suspension

Hi Guys, I am looking to do something a little bit different with my R33 GTR and change the suspension to be extremely comfortable since I drive on some of the crappiest roads QLD has to offer. It currently has Bilstein shocks and lowered king springs and 18x10 rims. This setup has been pretty good but the dash just rattles away on the bad roads and the car bounces around a fair bit.

Does anyone know if it is even possible to get a suspension setup on a GTR that is as comfortable as say a Mazda 3 or BMW M3 or any of the modern European sports cars, yet still retain decent handling? Or does the rigid chassis and other factors make this impossible or unfeasible?

If so, does anyone know any good suspension specialists in the Brisbane area? (Not too keen on Pedders or Fulcrum)

Thanks

Why not have a chat to Fulcrum Suspension? They have the Tein super Street and may be able to soften the spring rate a little.

Yeah I will speak to Fulcrum to see what they say.

I wouldn't mind this Electromagnetic Bose suspension that is not yet released :/ :

Maybe try dropping back to a 17" rim, which will introduce some ride comfort via sidewall flex.

The Mazda is not a performance car, so will not have performance car suspension. The BMW, while a sort of performance car, is still fitted with family-car-comfort suspension.

If you want a comfy ride, get a Falcodore or something. If you want a performance car, put up with performance car ride and comfort.

Yeah you'll find a smaller rim with more sidewall will help take off some of the edge on the bumps....

If you know someone with stock GTR suspension maybe you should go for a ride in that and see what you think....

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
