KISIN go speak to Steve from Manta Racing Services he may be of some help,

Andy if your there on sat. i will show you the differences the damper can make

Ill try head out there sometime this/next week but cant on Saturday because i work full day :domokun:

Thanks for referral though

Ive got Tein Type Flex on my 34... I think they are great, OK a little bumpier than your average commodore/falcon but alot better than stock....

Try THR Developments on Grand Junction Rd, they do alot with suspension for rally and Street, Plus they are a Tein Dealer...

Good luck tho if you do sell... im sure they will go quick.

Yeh im amazed how many peeps want these...im starting to have my doubts about selling them lol.

Does anyone know is it possible to just chuck new springs in there ? so i have new springs that are not as stiff ?

(sorry im a suspension noob)

Kisin... Send me a PM with some pics or email pics to [email protected] (take a wheel off and photograph) as i am trying to build a track car that will also be used on the road sometimes, however i want as harder set up as i can possibly get. As to the brand i have never heard of these before. Are they any good peoples??? They sound alright if they are damper adjustable aswell.

I went for a ride in Lees (HOtwires) car as i am thinking about buying them..... THere pretty dammn nice and firm and stick around corners well.

Anyone know of any chunky sway bars that are for sale??? I could also do with some of them to reduce my body roll.

Ill go speak with a suspension place before i decide to sell/not to sell, if i do ill let you know and take you for a spin in my car so you can see how good they are. These would be AWSOMEEE for a track car with the current set up. as i said before glue you to the road.

" Q: What is Kei Office?

Kei Office is the number 1 suspension manufacturer in Japan. Kei Office is named after Keiichi Tsuchiya the "Drift King" and Mr. Tsuchiya has a hand in the development of each set of coilovers that Kei Office produces."

^^^ found that just then...so yeh.

As i said not sure about letting them go easily, however everything is for sale at the right price. My camera got stolen so i wont have pics ready until i borrow 1 of my cuz and take pics.

the coilovers you have are stiff as a corpse. simple as that. most jap coilovers are. i have tanabe's and they will require a chiropractor once you get out of the driver's seat - literally. if that description doesnt suit you, just simply sell them. 2nd hand coilovers are not expensive. just cause there designed by the 'drift king' doesnt make them any better then say tien's or jic's. able to drift requires more then just a set of coilovers. hope you get what you want for them.

In actual fact they wouldn't have been "designed" by this Drfit King, but designed to suit his drifting style! But as Duc said they are hard and thats what they are made for, "a race car"! i would see if you can get different springs in there with a lower spring rate! If you can maybe try Industrial Springs on Port Rd, they can make whatever spring you want, or even King Springs have different spring rates and sizes to suit!

Not the ideal solution. Then he would be playing with setting up the shocks, and farking around later when his handling or traction isnt right.

Sell em off as a set, then go buy something like Bilstein with matched springs.

Yeh true, It really depends on if you can be bothered stuffing around with them, I have a set of Bilstiens and Whitline or Lovells in my car, and for what it is it certainally does do the job!

It actually said somewhere that he had input in the design as well as testing them. The point im trying to make is not "omg drift king = best ever" but rather to point out that they are not your crappy chinese copy ones but proper jap coilovers.

If u have a look at the suspension forum, sk has mentioned (yes im bringing up sk as he is a sus engineer) that the jap shocks are twin tube which arent ideal compared to monotube..

see here - http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=114718

Chinese copy or not, Bilsteins (for example (im a fanboi)) will be better than anything that comes from Japan

Yes you are correct Black, But I think for track you are better off with the common twin tube cause they can be harder (I have heard please correct me if it seems stupid as I want exact facts on this), although if you are looking for something a bit better for street I think cusco make some which specialise in streetability.

Edited by Pauly33GTS-t

I've been under the impression that mono tube shocks are the best. And that twin tube are just a cheaper and less sophisicated way of valving the shocks.

Ehh my bike has fully adjustable suspension. You can adjust it in every way possible, and it's damn quality stuff, plus it's stock!

    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
