After 2 years of waiting and stockpiling parts, redid most of the suspension setup (Coils, arms, braces, swaybars, endlinks, bushings, wheels, tyres, rotors, lines, pads) for the skyline coupe W

Having read your blog. Welcome to the slammed family with your BC coilovers. How are speed bumps feeling? :no: I'm really struggling. Have to pass them very slowly and sort of diagonal way. Some of them cause ugly scratchings especially ones at the Tea Tree Plaza parking.

Cheers for reading my blog MDCAT, believe it or not - I actually didn't realise my V36 was lowered until it arrived at compliance and even then when I was looking at it... I thought it looked odd (as in, my car looked 'too good' stock, or so I thought hehe) and it was only then when my compliancer showed me, that I realised... "how cool is this" :D

PS: My compliancer later corrected himself (after the blog post, and once he had completed compliance on my V36 Skyline - It actually has Tanabe Sustec Pro S-OC Adjustable Coilover Suspension.

In regards to the ride, it's great! Handles well, firm - yet soft and absorbing of all bumps on the road. I still am aware of spoon drains / road humps / driveways... but even lowered (adjusted at compliance a little higher to ensure legality) my car has no clearance issues - and I'm super comfortable driving - already drove for 2 hours straight around Adelaide - no issues!

I have new tyres lined up (Achilles ATR Sport 2) and I'm getting a service and wheel balance as well, so I'm looking forward to seeing the difference that makes.

Yeah. I have no big issues with my car lowered. Handling is sharp and still soft. But be aware that it is a deceiving feeling. I realized that first when scratched at passing a pretty wide speed bump. Just bought a couple of wrenches but have now time to lift her up a bit.

You are lucky that the compliance workshop had some oem spring/shocks to chuck in it for compliance! When I brought my old R34 4 door in around 10 years ago (when they were quite rare) I couldn't find some stock 4 door suspension (nor a stock exhaust) for some 6 months. So it had to sit in my backyard waiting on those parts before I could send it to compliance (which was here in Adelaide luckily)!

No. Kidding. I know!

Very lucky :yes:

PS: Created a new post for a Vxx Series Meet in Adelaide :whistling:

Nice.

Dang it I have been looking at that one for a while and the price was exceptional ... I just wasn't ready to pull the trigger yet. I was hoping it would still be sitting around later in the year, but knew it would sell at that price. Nice buy

It's done 162k kms now mate - still as reliable as ever and goes like clockwork, but I use it daily for work and can't ever afford to have it off the road. I am just a tiny bit concerned that into the future it may need more maintenance etc and cause me problems. That said, there is nothing to indicate any faults - it still runs like the day I got it nearly 6 years ago with 48k on the clock!

Then every time I start to get a bit bored of it and think of changing over I will have someone come up to me at a servo or out the front of their house at a valuation and gush over how much they love it - that sort of reminds me that I still love her and that I am not done with her yet :)

Imagine what they'd say if you owned my 50th Anniversary Limited Edition PV36 ;)

Absolutely no offense meant mate, but if I had a V36 sedan they would likely not batt an eyelid at it, as everyone thinks they are fwd Maximas :) .... one of the reasons I have resisted going sedan - imho they just look too pedestrian for me. :whistling:

But seriously, does it get a lot of attention?

It's a bit like why I could never own a Toyota Mark X (even though I like them a lot) - your average Joe Blow just thinks they are Camrys, and I couldn't deal with that :)

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
