hi guys,

i ended up settling for HSD coilovers over the G4's. Im very happy with them, ride height is perfect and the feel is awesome! not too stiff at all :(

( sorry bout the dodgy camera phone pix :P )

If performance (handling) is not what you're after then it doesn't matter, all you need now is some wheels that fill out the guards! :P

That's crazy low though. Never seen a skyline lowered that much.

its ok though, im going to raise the rear so i can drive it :(

just on the lowest setting its still smooth and not too stiff, im sure if it is adjusted to a good ride height it would be perfect :)

but i got what i was after and im happy :P

edit**

i adjusted the coilovers to the highest possible safe point (left 2cm of tread in the purches/cups) and measured all 4 so they were even lol

the coils themselves are all the way up and cant go any higher... that means it wasnt on the lowest setting yesterday LOL

heres a pic of the car at its highest setting

freind of mine bought g4's for his car u13 bluebird (now sold) they werent all that stiff and they were extremely low and nowhere near the lowest setting.

but why would you want it that low?? would be a pain to drive you would have to stop at every speed hump and driveway.

hey there, you said your friend bought some coilovers for his u13 bluebird? i have been trying to find some for a long time and had no luck! are you able to find out where to get them or how i could get hold of some? would be a big help :)

      Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.

      Oil pan for RB25DET NEO Stagea "version"

      meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)

      I'd love a Haltech ECU, and Haltech 10 dash. Was having a chat with Rob and Andy @ Haltech when Rob put one in his MR2. First one I'm kind of interested in too, as you can dim it RIGHT down. Andy was saying bright dashes is one of his peeves too!
