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

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

    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
