the height adjustable one (air suspension) was on tein display at tokyo auto salon start of this year, should be release end of this year.

:uh-huh:

I'd go for the TEINS as the HKS ones probably aren't that much different. Both are japanese coilovers and are gonna be rock hard! Why not go for another brand? Like a European brand like Bilstein or Ohlins? Japanese roads are a lot smoother than the ones we have here in OZ. But, you're paying for the name I guess.

Depends on your needs. If you dont drive at 10/10ths with some ability then anything that gets your car to sit nice and stop the missus puppies getting motion sickness.

If you want something that works... bilstein, ohlins, DMS. Cos all have guys involved in racing that can valve em to suit your driving preference.

I notice someone here running federal tyres for instance... Now they are good for high 1:09's on my car... Dunlop D01J on the same track no suspension changes low 8's... So there is two seconds in the tyres alone.

If you race, use race suspension... if you street, use street suspension and learn how to drive on it... You'll beat all the guys on stiff stuff every day.

I'm waiting for my HKS Hipermax D (drift) to arrive. The come with pillowmounts, and the spring rate iis pretty insane:

10kg front and 8kg rear, and this is for an s15.  

Will keep you guys posted on the difference from stock :P

That spring rate is nuts! I was playing gt3 the other day at a friends place, we had 8kg springs on our drift s13, and even on gt3 we were laughing at how extreme the springs were lol.

Anyhow, i love hard suspension, so im not baggin your choice, just should be interesting ;)

I would probably go for a full whiteline kit instead of jap coilovers if i had the $$. Whiteline have coilovers too.....would look into these as they are probably more suited to local ROAD conditions than jap coilovers.

    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
