Just got a 4 door R34 (non turbo), and the stock shocks seem pretty shagged...especially the rears, bottoming out fairly often, rough ride...etc

so am up for replacement, but just wondering what brands / type i should be looking at?? ive been told monroes / pedders will be a waste of money, and to go for kyb / koni or IF i can afford it , some sort of coilovers...

not really sure which way to go, but dont wanna spend TOO much on it, the car is daily driven, but i wouldnt mind if it handled a bit better ! >_<

cheers

I'm sure most people would recommend KYB's/Koni's over Monroe's or Pedders products. When I was searching last month for new suspension not many companies had replacement shocks for NA HR34's. From memory both KYB and Koni didn't have have anything for HR34's and I'm not sure if there will be any coilover options out there either with HSD, ISC catering for ER34 but nothing listed for HR34's.

My advice, search through the suspension company websites product lists, send e-mails or make phone calls to them. Another option is to search the For Sale section on SAu and see if something come up.

You have to remember reggie you have a GT-V model which means you can buy any suspension meant for a GT-T.

Also yours should be an ER34 as well. I ran mine through fast and it came up ER34.

yeah i know chris, mine comes up as ER34 on FAST also. I just didn't want to confuse him with my car being NA but with turbo spec suspension fitted from factory.

No worries mate.

Darkmoon what type of sedan do you have? tried running it through fast?

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
