i dont fkn know.

if it is as iain says they are stiff as all f**k and he would have to go to hospital if the damper was below 15, it kind of seems like they went backwards.

im pretty sure your the only one in aus who has taken the car on a track, and honestly when is a 2 tonne family wagon going to be considered as a full time track car for the suspension to be that stiff.

dont get me wrong, BR's may be awesome compared to v1's, my point is - I CANT JUSTIFY IT. i hope thats alright with you Craig :turned:

yeh well done editing your post

I did the edit because I didn't want to in force a logical comment on you!

dude its the same man, im telling you.

check your spring loading. mines only just tightened up. and 15 all round pretty much its still firm but comfortable because of the springs.

everythings the same man

V1; 44mm piston in a 50mm damper

BR; 46mm piston in a 53mm damper.

bigger piston and damper diameter, and more oil. thats straight from the BC website.

youll say its only a few mm difference, but when youre talking 50mm to 53mm thats a 7-8% increase in diameter, and over the entire length of the damper, thats a significant volume difference.

perhaps.

but i was told that extra volume is only noticable if your on a track, beating the shit out of the suspension. but lets leave the argument here, because i could also just be biased because im starting to get sick of the stagea.

there is no perhaps about it lol

there is a difference, the setups are similar but not the same, hence the price difference in the 2 sets.

its not an argument, i was stating facts.

i guess the larger volume will give you the thermal capacity on the track, it would probably help on the street too, but bugger all i rekon.

thats what i said?

back to my original thought

I(me) could not justify the extra price in getting th BR's. comprende` mi amigo?

i agree you said that, but you said you couldnt justify the price difference when there was no difference in the product.

anyway, i understand :P

no difference to me.

i dont think i said that enough lol

You know what I realised?

1. You guys don't have a day job, because if I was your boss and caught you guys jibbering this stuff during work I would fire you! Forget facebook :D

2. Aaron is a tight arse :P

3. Aaron isn't really concerned with the life of his shocks on the track (the larger dia reduces the shear on the oil, as the shock damping holes can be larger as the piston area is greater) Fine by me.

4. This isn't really M35 Info. It's more like "M35 Lets have a conversation so when people are looking for information they have to trawl through 65 pages of goodness to get it INFO" Why doesn't someone create a new thread/topic to discuss this or is that too logical?

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
