Most likely Alcon 4pot rears.

Although if i find some endless rears or Brembo's i might grab them.

Not really planning to spend much more on it for awhile as i've paid for flights to Japan, Jan 12th to 1st Feb

i should stay away from Yahoo auctions, brought these last night.

Ohlins Flag-R coilovers. Top of the range Ohlins coilovers that come out of Japan.

Spring rates are 10k front and rear. Im getting a company called "Swift" to put there coils in them with a 8k front and 6k rear.

Heres the link to the Ohlins site http://www.carrozzeriajapan.co.jp/ohlins/4w/flag-r.html

Retail new at $6500 delivered.

The "Swift" springs are cheap. $205+shipping for a pair is great. Used by Le mans cars, F1 etc

Have a look at the vids of them here http://www.swiftsprings.com/advantage.html

    • Thanks Dose.....    I appreciate it!!
    • I'll probably be putting the shit box back on the dyno again soon, I want to dial in the closed loop boost control properly. I'll have a camera facing the car/motor for fun too. Just note, there are essentially 3x 10AN inlets going into the catch can and 1x going back to the intake pipe. Most of the time the catch can "return" to the sump actually is the crank case breather, pushing air out.
    • I have the R3C with a Nismo slave and by no means does it behave like a stocker, it ain’t THAT bad. On take off just give a bit more throttle than you would say a coppermix and it’s fine. It will not slip though.   
    • Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head.
