Well hard springs stop roll, but they also stop everything else from working properly. The shock controls the spring, so thats the tricky (and expencive) bit... If you have hard springs you cant make a shock to control the spring properly.

So if you want to stop roll, get big anti roll bars. I have a solid 30mm on the front of my cef, and I really think its over kill, I feel sometimes the front is just too solid. So I would just go the whiteline stuff.

If what people keep going on about with drift, the best set up should be a proper track set up (as in to have as much grip as posible) just with stiffer antisway bars with a bias to the rear. That way the car is going to handle as best it can, and be the most balanced and predictable.

But most of the drifters run really low, and stupid stiff springs.

So like wat salad said is get custom rate spring and wat is the best rate ? Lots of Japs using 8 in the front and 6 in the back. How about Cusco adjustable sway bar cause i have them in my garage. Will S13 sway bar fit on the R32 4 Door ? Also wat is "BIAS" ? is the pineapple really help a lot ?

If i want the good Suspension setup do i get whole suspension package like front top n bottom arms adjustable , castor rods, tie rods , tie rod ends, tie rod spacer and etc ?

Thank u very much for the advice mate.

^^^ Agreed EDIT: agreeing with dangerous_daveo, most drifters just follow what ever the japs do and think its sick. And most are cheap as anything so just get the cheapest coilovers they can cos lets face it, coilovers are coilovers aren't they? :)

can u tell me wat is ur suspension like ? are they jap brand ?

Thanks

I'm using Bilstein B6 shocks, converted to coilovers with Eibach springs. Rears have a better piston than the B6 though

wat u mean by better piston in the rear are they B6 as well ? How do u converted to coilovers custom or the Bilsteins design for coilovers ?

i've got the ISC's with 10kg front springs (damper on 16/32) and 8kg rear springs (damper on 18/32) - also whiteline 27mm blade adjustable front swaybar set to medium and 22mm blade adjustable rear swaybar set to hard.

i have no understeer - but front tyres - falken azenis rt215 - 215/45/17 on 8" rim does help.

i am going to try a softer rear spring ( 6kg) to test to gain more grip

**also adjustable rear camber arms and toe arms are already in use.

also look at getting a rear subframe alignment kit, sk recomended that to me and so far i really like it. It takes the sloppy ness out of the rear end, ...i will let u know how it feels on the track after sat.

oh and huddy what length endlinks do u have on the front swaybar? ...55mm centre of bolt hole to centre of bolt hole? are u able to get it on the hardest setting? ......i just got 75mm ones which now allow this .....quite a bit different.

silkroad section rma8 are japanese yes

google for reviews on them... widely popular in japan, usa and hawaii...

several well known professional drifters in aus use these also or have used these

The rear shocks came out of a race car, I'm not too sure what piston they are. When I bought them I thought they were just the normal piston, guy told me after that they were a better piston.

The Bilsteins usually have a normal spring seat that sits on a circlip in a groove. To convert to coilovers Bilstein sell a kit that includes a threaded sleeve (that sits on the circlip groove instead), lower spring seat, locking ring and upper spring seat adapter to use with standard strut tops.

i cannot remember exactly - but i think i did test to check that - and i think i did have 0 problems keeping the endlinks vertical. re-installing new cradle tomorrow so if i remember i will check again :O

Why the new cradle Huddy?

Also, before you chuck the new one in, weld up the lower control arm mounts, apparently they break off a fair bit with track use and high grip tyres.

Wouldn't be surprised as mine broke with just Antyres....

Which is what I have. I'll grab some photos tomorrow.

But the best bang for buck (as in spending less than $8-10k which would be a semi race shock...) is the Sydney Kid suspension group buy, which is listed in the group buy section in the for-sale forums.

And what I mean by playing with the 'bias' of the sway bars is just making them harder or softer to suit. Say drift you might want the rear a bit harder so the rear kicks out easier.

anyone ever heard/used ZEAL coilovers?

very interesting replies in this topic, ill be watching this :(

Yes mate...I use them in the laurel. Great coilover :)

Suspension:

Zeal Function B6 coilovers, Cusco castor rods, D-Project Rear camber, toe and traction arms, Whiteline 27/24mm swaybars, alloy subframe bushes

Exhaust:

Gp Sports 3" straight thru exhaust, 3" front/dump pipe.

Body:

Original front and rear bars, unknown sideskirts

    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
