Mate, 1 piece of advice I'll give you is whatever suspension you choose make sure it's not too hard. A lot of people race out and buy the hardest coil overs and the biggest wheels they can fit and the problem with this is it just plain makes the car dangerous. The back wheels have no give and simply break traction and axle tramp under the pump. They also don't absorb any of the cars inertia during cornering and can cause the car to unsettle over bumps during cornering. Last of course is the ride WILL drive you nuts, far too hard! I've fallen into this trap and will never buy HARD suspension again unless the car was going to be purely a track car. Hope that helps.

I have the SK group but stuff in my car and the only place in Vic that its too soft for is phillip island... so unless your going to be hitting PI often the Bilstein whiteline combo is great!

I have never driven on the Tein super streets or the G4 stuff but I can tell you buying 'adjustable' coilovers is a waste of time... do some more reading on shock technology and handling and you will see what I mean

I have the Bilstien setup also however I have slighter stiffer spring rates than the SK GB. Car goes pretty well, just need to learn how to drive it consistantly at DECA :laugh:

my issues is the stock diff now. 1.5 way comming my way soon.

Tein: Great Japan quality. If bought through Fulcrum, they are re valved/sprung for Australian roads.

G4 Racing: Cheaper quality, not sure where they are made. Will not perform as good, in the long run.

Even though the SK gb kit are great, i still prefer my adjustability. I like the thought of adjusting the stiffness for various roads, events, conditions, etc. And the Tein EDFC makes it soooooooooooooooo much easier :D

I disagree with the coilover statement, height and dampener adjustment is very useful. Height is good for raising if the cops pin you and dampenr is great for fun/track days and other events.

Lance - What are you looking to get from your car? What will you be using it for?

Mate I was raped by Pettett last week and he was picking on my ride height. Now I know for a fact that it's sitting at 110mm at the pipe (lowest point) but he STILL gave me a hard time about it. The fact I can raise the car for testing is priceless. All you need is one assho|e cop like him and you'd have to get a lot more work done to raise non adjustable suspension. Now I know you'll say "make it legal ride height and you'll have no issues" but we both know that aint the case huh.

All I'm saying is the SK group buy for instance is almost the cost of a set of Tien Super Street (Fulcrum local stuff). I'm about to change my suspension and I know what I'll be choosing.

fair enough then!

yep you have to take the Bilsteins out to reset the height... but I have never been pulled over let alone hassled about ride height... I have mine set pretty high though, otherwise the tires scrub really badly on the rear guards... you should move away from Knox!

I know you've been raped... more than once... :)

lol

Ye i know that, but if you are sitting 110mm, why are you even raising it?

Your legal to begin with!

ive got tiens and they are pretty stiff.. but id rather a stiff ride (yeh i know that sounds gay) over bodyroll anyday

Only thr Jap Spec are stiff.

If you bought them through Fulcrum they would be ALOT better and comfortable. Yet the still have enough dampner ajdustment to make them pretty damn stiff.

      Not that I know from experience, but in theory you'd want your gate spring to be as close to target pressure as possible, so you'd go with the higher gate spring?

      Before I commit to it as I already have the wastegate off the car, would you change it to the 9psi spring instead of the 12, or whack it back on now and try your suggestion?   Edit: Actually I might just swap the spring and see what the logs say after another few pulls, as we know it's still spiking without the Mac valve in the picture so I need more data without the Mac valve trying to combat the issue.

      Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you?

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.

      Infiniti Q60 Navigation Update

      By Chocolate Cheesecake. · Posted

      Yeah I understand you have to pay for an updated map or subscription service or something. But I can't even find a current map for Australia. My map is dated 2017, but didn't this car version still sell in Australia until 2021?   Also, just as an aside, the navigation system warns you of traffic incidences ahead.....why would they include that on a map they knew is not receiving live information. I am forever going to be warned of an incident that probably existed for 30 minutes 8 years ago.
