Harder in the rear will promote oversteer as the ass can't drop to transfer wait and hard front will promote understeer. To find the best settings put both front and back to half way between full hard and full soft and take the car for a run on a good bit of road you know. Then take 1/4 turn off front and run again. Then put back to half on front and drop back 1/4 turn. See which is better. Then keep playing going the way that it was improving until it gets too a point were you do not think it is getting better. Take note of how far up or down the front or rear is and keep that setting difference no matter how you run it. Forinstance you might find that 1/4 turn softer front to rear is the best setting. On the road you may want it soft so set front to full soft and rar 1/4 turn hard. But on the track you want firmer, set front I turn up and rear 1 1/4 turns up. This way you hold the balance but reset how stiff you want it.

It would be best to run this on a track but if you can't you can play on the road, just keep it sensible. Remember if you are going all out you cannot truly feel the car as well as you can on 8/10ths.

Dont forget too get your tyre pressures set equal before you start.

    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
    • I started removing the tank a while back with the intent to give it a proper clean. Got to a bolt that I couldn't undo completely due to a diff being in the way, so just said f**k it and siphoned the gluggy old fuel out and called it a day. Looking it the tank it looks less corroded than the one in the pics for that billet hanger from Frenchy's anyway. Isn't it the fuel filters job to worry about this stuff? I scraped off most the crusty shit of the hanger but will give it another go before reinstall coz maybe the fuel and return pipes are also full of gunk  
    • Pretty sure it is a common fault. I believe this is the only part you need, but don't quote me as I don't have a V36.  I also believe it is a bit of a pain to change and the device needs to be encoded to the car once it is replaced, so may need someone with the right tools. Buy Genuine Nissan 48700JF00D (48700-JF00D) Lock Set-Steering. Prices, fast shipping, photos, weight - Amayama
    • Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.
    • Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
