Ive heard Northshore do one of the cleanest compliance jobs, unfortunately mine wasn't done by them. Cam, I have worked out it was the silicone blocking the drain lip that caused the water ingress, al

the BCs will give you the best adjustment IMO. thats for any M35.

also for cost and comfort and adjustablity and build quality. they win on all of those items

+1 for BC's :thumbsup:

How are you finding yours with all the new bits mate?

Had this on another car. once the dust covers are torn, its pretty much curtains for the shocks cause the dust gets in, and wrecks the seals quickly (thats if you don't change them). Same as CV boots really. You have to replace a torn one quick.

Sounds like a good excuse to get some BC's!

Another +1 for the BCs guys. Been in 6 months and no probs.

I do a fair bit of long distance driving with a load in the back. I just wind up the firmness and it stops the back wallowing around.

Also took a little while to get the ride height spot on, scraped on everything to start with but just right now.

Does anyone on here run Teins with the EDFC?

I know BCs are highly recommended, and thats what I was going to get once I got the car, but a really clean car has come up with the Tein system. A bit more expensive but Im trying to work out if its worth it to get the Tein setup.

Otherwise Ill just buy a cheaper car and put BCs on it, Ive read enough on these forums to know thats the best solution for an M35.

Why not go drive it?

You'll know straight away if you like the ride quality, if the car's as clean as you say, it may well be worth the extra spend.

I'm going to go drive it, but I can't drive a standard or BC fitted car for comparison. For all I know the BC setup will be just as good, and the EDFC will just be a gimmick, which is why I was asking if anyone else had tried it out.

IMO Tein will give a better ride than BC all day long, obviously depending on the model.

I'm most likely going to go the BC route just for money factor, but if I had the choice i'd be going Silkroad or Koni.

I was just wondering if any one is interested in BC BR group buy? That's if the group buy option works with whoever supplies BC in Australia...

I contacted Just Jap (spoke with Tony) who are the only authorised importer ATM. They don't want to get involved with a group buy for a few reasons, but mainly because the range is very well priced (which I tend to think as well) and I reckon they'd rather look after their distributors.

Tony then indicated that maybe their distributor in Melb (Jap Wharehouse) might be interested.

Jap Wharehouse doesn't have any pricing on their website so I gave them a call to ask (spoke with Kenz) and sure enough they are happy to look after a group buy as long as the pricing isn't posted publicly (ie here). Also, to make it worthwhile they can't ship each set to a different location (unless we get maybe 10 people interested, then they might) so it would probably have to be that all sets for Sydney go to one place, and likewise Brissy etc. Maybe Melbourne buyers could pick theirs up from Jap warehouse directly or, again, all go to a central location. When I say "all". it's probably only going to be 2 or 3 sets at most to each spot.

So someone may have to receive all the sets for their city and then co-ordinate distribution. That may work out OK if there was a meet arranged and the others attended. Anyone in the country (ie me) may have to pay a little extra to get it shipped directly, pick up from closest capital city or hope that there is enough people interested to get the same free shipping deal that you get with full price.

Since I am in the market for a set, I suppose I can gather interested parties names and them PM everyone with details. Please bear in mind that due to the already keen pricing the discount is not going to be huge.

Oh, and if you want anything different in the way of spring rates etc, they will need to know before hand. If you want more than a couple of kg's change to standard they will have the shocks revalved at the factory to suit.

Fantastic... Count me in... I could also be a pick-up point for SA as I live just 5 min. from Adelaide... Or could drop it off around metropolitan area as I usually do a lot of drivearound.

Cheers for organising the whole thing. PM me...

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
