finally saved up enough to buy a proper set of coilovers, although i have very lil knowledge when it comes to these things i have narrowed it down to 2.

ive read in magazines that the "TIEN" suspension range is quite awsome at the fact it was developed for australian roads (which suck alot) and favour driveability.

on the other hand ive heard nothing but praise for the HKS Hyper MAX set.

my dilemma is that although i will be driving the car everyday, i also use it every now and then for the circuit or strip.

would anyone who owns either of these products care to share your exp?

Ill Just be Bias and say HKS HyperMax. Coz i got them on my R34.. really comfortable Ride. and absorbes road bumps very nicely. Although be a tad cautious in the wet.

could u care to explain why the bad quality in the wet?

also whats the deal with adjustments? what effect do they give when adjusted high or low?

sorry guys like i said i have no idea what these things do (i only wanted em to lower my car lol)

Well to be honest im not sure if its the Negative camber that ensued after Lowering my car with aftermarket shocks, that makes is kinda dangerous in the wet, apparently its common... But i have enuff Rubber on my wheels to make a porche cringe. so it cant be my tyres. when Adjusted the affects are very noticable. I havnt bothered to screw around with mine yet. but a friend of mine has them and he is quite switched on, in terms of understanding supsension dynamics. He's is setup to pretty much drift when he gives it some beans, but oversteer controll is brilliant according to him.. he says he wouldnt buy any other.. anyhoo, Freeway onramps are great fun when its raining..

    • I am probably calling this too early but I think I found what part of my problem is. I have a couple of dents that are fairly close to each other and I tried to fix them individually. Recently I put one larger coat across all the dents and sanded it and for the first time ever it's all even except for the edge where the bare metal is, I just need to put some putty there. I'm ordering some better longer blocks that are more flexible. Other good news is that the other repairs on my panel are flat even with the guidecoat. It's these 2 dents which are an absolute c*nt l lol.
    • Murray will have better input, but I'd be going with less filler, and aimed at the low spots mainly, and hence won't need as much sanding, which then means get the guide coat on earlier. That's how I'd do it, BUT, I'm not a pro, I'm a DIY hack who will then get the shits halfway through, and have one spot awesomely repaired, and the other spots look like a 3 year old was left unsupervised with workshop tools...
    • Where is the most common place to locate it? Disappointing that Garrett won’t make a fitting for it since they know everyone will use it
    • A HICAS fault really should not cause the engine to go into limp mode. These cars are so old that the systems barely talk to one another. The thump might be the lockoff solenoid valve for the HICAS (the safety valve) getting closed, to lock the rear wheels "straight". I say "straight", because when my HICAS used to shit itself before I took off and nuked it from orbit, it would lock up with the rear wheels wildy non-straight and you'd need 45° of steering wheel to drive straight. Take off and nuke it from orbit. First step is to pull the smaller of the two plugs out of the HICAS CU. See if it stops misbehaving. You can also (whilst leaving it plugged in) try to get the HICAS CU into diagnostic mode by doing the pedal dance, or by connecting a CONSULT capable diagnostic reader into the car and seeing what it has to say for itself. Can't do either of these with it unplugged though. 1st gen HICAS is a ballache. I would do a complete delete. I did do a complete delete.
