I know what the Faq says

but my friend says that according a few companies thge GTR suspension all around is what is called for with teh stagea??

it contradicts everything ive read here

gtr fronts fit stageas yes, gtr rears dont fit unless its a series 2 manual from the factory. gts-t rears fit but they are not designed for a wagon and wouldnt be very suitable.

so what coilover setup would be suitable?

the whole shock spring setup most of you run will not be quite enough for my application.

IS there a certain reason why GTST rears arent suitable?

oh and i dont think that spring shock combo will go quite as low as i need to be. I had to modify my coilover lower brackets to go as low as i needed.

Hopefully to have the stagea on stock body about 3-4 inches fromt eh ground.

yes lowering is an issue, ive got mine with about 100mm of clearance from chassis to the ground and exhuast is about 60mm from the floor, i can go lower at the rear but not the front as the strut bottoms hit the control arms :D i have circlip grooves down to 300mm from wheel centre to gaurd but with the lowering issue i can only goto around 315mm.

sydneykid will know the spring rates etc for the setup he sells.

which is why i wanted to go with coilovers

i know how to make big wheels fit small spaces

plans are to put 18s, slam it and drift it, like i did with my 180.

Ponly problem is flaring the rear fenders to fit the single digit or negative offsets i want to.

But unless i have a manual stagea from the factory (wihch obviously i dont)

I need GTR front GTST rear.

rodge

I have a set of Gab wagon coilovers which is so low at the moment that I scrape on a speck of dust on the road, they are also hard/soft adjustable as well as height.

Couldnt tell you what model, unless you know where to find it on the coilovers themselfs?

Since you are Japan you have a heaps of options

There are heaps on Yahoo auctions suitable for the Stagea and drift

Tein make several different sets

I have Tein Wagon's which have 4kg Front and Rear, but they also have Tein HR which are approx 10/8kg F/R

ive already got a company lined up, i was just getting contradictory information

My suspension sponsor from my 180 is hooking me up with cost on another set

i was just making sure on what models to get with the front nad rear

  • 4 weeks later...

tanaka wont do it scotty

but a guy back home is a distributor for the same shit that was on my 180

and he can get 20mm shorter front shocks and custom springrates with the shocks valved to match. for an ass kickcing price

what do you mean he wont do it... i just went over there the other day, and it actually came up. well he is kinda choosey like that... oh well... good luck with that...

but it can be done... why not just buy a set of S14 CO's, R33 Uppers and go at it... oh well...

why dont you go up there with me, they didnt quite understand what i was trying to do.....maybe you can help me out?

i need something that is shorter than this

from bottom of tophat to bottom of the shock (out of lower bracket) is 33 cm

with the lower bracket it is 36 cm

i need like a 30-32 cm shock possibly shorter

    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
    • And yes with a full tank it will hit limiter free revving or driving 6B6CDF6E-4094-426D-A9CB-6C553475FE36.mp4
