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..

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
