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 ?

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
