seeing as we dont have a "handling" forum i'll ask it in here...

i didnt know i had adjustable shocks til i went to see troy all those many months ago in regards to getting a pod filter to which he informed me it had... i knew the fronts were so back then i checked the rears and didnt see a dial like the fronts had so thought they must be stock.

now 2 weeks ago when i went and got those GTR guards mike told me the rears have a dial on them which u use to adjust it... i checked it then and yes they do... they have the word "Potenza" on them... now i only thought they made tyres? dunlops init?

also i started turning the dial towards the "hard" direction and i dont know how far im meant to go cause it made like 10 clicks... should i keep going? :D

bridgestone make shocks? i thought they just made tyres?

i want it on hard hard but it doesnt seem to stop... the fronts have 4 settings but the nob seems to keep turning... will it eventually stop? :D

well they didnt go much further... so i would assume thats as hard as they get... will take it for a spin and see if it makes a diff...

btw would have the fronts softer than the rears cause understeer? cause i get a lot of that.

I've got HKS 'adjustables' in my 32, but how do I adjust them? I haven't got a dial. The best I can figure is I need to hold the bottom part steady, and twist the top.

The guy at the yard told me they were adjustable. They're hard as anything and I want to soften them up a little for road use.

See pic. sorry for the quality of the pic...

Any help appreciated...

They look like stockers... aren't all HKS one purple topped?

and nark, soft front / hard rear promotes oversteer (i think). By having the front softer it allows the front to 'dig' when you turn thereby giving more bite. The hard rear then comes around and you're looking back at last week :P.

I think so... better check with someone who actually knows... i'm just speculating. I just thought about it the other way around and i have reasoned that this could promote oversteer too...

Ahh, like Austin Powers i think i've gone cross eyed. lol

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
