Ryan, can you adjust camber on the front coils on all models? How is this done? I bought my car with the coils and received no instruction from the guy i bought it from.

Hi, Camber on skylines is done via the upper controll arm not the coilover camber top like like silvia/mazda/subaru etc. I'am using whiteline bushes in my skyline at the moment but we can also order in adjustable section/silk road/cusco arms for you.

Ryan

Looking to buy a new set of coil overs for my 32 gtst coz my rear ones have shite themselves.

What's everyone's opinion on brands????

i have ISC's, they work great! but had the biggest f**k around with customer service getting them, it was horrible. Had to exchange the rear coilovers twice to get the correct ones.

Bilstein approx $2500 is the cheapest I've seen..........and that's only shocks & springs, you have to use the top hats and rubbers from your stock coilovers.

?? i paid under $1500 for mine, i have nfi where ur getting ur figures from.

for the street maybe 4.5kg/3.5kg, for track around the 6/4kg mark.

erm aren't R33's standard springs about the 4kg up front not sure of rear prolly 3kg and i know your talking R32 but hey doesnt matter what model you would use similar rates across the board

also Pete got proper Bilstein coil overs not a spring and shocker combo

im thinking of changing my springs from 12fr 10rr to 8fr and 7rr

Lawson - i dunno why you found Ryan's service to be sub par but i found it impeccable, unless you didn't deal with Ryan ?? or you didn't give him all the information he needed to sort you out efficiently

steve, from what i saw from the pics of the isc coilovers, i think that they were trying to make universal style ones and the rear shock shafts were alot longer then they needed to be making it not be able to lower much past stock hight as 32's needed to have the smaller shocks.

although, i had a small problem with a product from them and when i told him he was happy to exchange the product and even brought it himself to the workshop. i was happy with the customer service!

Steve, you could even go softer since your car is 90% street use.

Probably even 6 or 7 Front & 5 or 6 Rear...............wouldn't go any softer just in case you wanted to do track work.

Been speaking alot to SK, his son Matt and Poly Air Springs in NSW lately.......they are all experts when it comes to spring rates and all agree with the above info as long as you stiffen up the sway bars.

Japs, according to Matt, tend to favour the very hard coilover and don't worry about their sway bars.

He says it may have something to do with their very narrow carports, garages & driveways, lol

not for a GTR bud.........try double that

I spoke to Gary & his son Matt twice this week already and that price I quoted is probably on the light side

once again, we are talking about an R32 GTS-t. not 100% how u talking about ur R34 GTR is relevant here.

pretty sure the stock springs are around 3kg all round, the whiteline group buy uses springs which are around 3.5kg all round for the street. the main issue with stock suspension is in the dampers, not so much the springs. there is no real need to go very high rates on the street, with decent sway bars u will have more than enough roll control for street conditions. going high rates will only mean a rougher ride and reduced traction.

the spring/shocker combo u refer to are no less coilovers than any other suspension u can buy, the only difference between them and what people generally refer to as coilovers are they have thread adjustable lower seats rather than using circlips. if u dont plan on changing the ride height more than once every few months then u will never even know the difference.

btw i run the bilstein/eibach combo with the "coilover conversion kit", 6/4kg, that ended up costing around $2200ish. i bought these to suit the track, i wouldnt have bothered with them if my car didnt see a lot of track work.

ah cool :)

yeah Pete want to do a little track work but i could put the 12/10kg back in yeah??

so i guess a 6/5kg would be ideal with stiffer sway bars and if i went on track with the 12/10kg then soften up the sway bar a little ?

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
