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

    • Yea my thought was tighter engine when hot is more load a poor ground connection can't take. On that note, I had time to check my driveshaft verical alignment tonight, it's +2 and -2 at either end, so thats perfect and how I had set it up last year. What would be the easiest way to check horizontal alignment between my diff and transmission? I can think of a few ways but they're all complicated and I feel like I'm overthinking it. I'm hoping it's that as I can't see any other reason why I have developed driveline vibration since I put the motor back in. 
    • Thank god. I thought I was the only one, nobody seems to mention this (cause nobody really goes this far in Sedan land). The car's track is 10mm wider at the rear, which explains why the rears sit a little further out for the same size wheels. There's not really many options in widebody land for sedans anyway - People will just use whatever came out of the box and then buy wheels/spacers to suit. To get it perfect you'll likely need custom wheels with custom offsets if you really want to get it perfect which is what I plan to do, but I also plan to utilize more of the inboard space for tyres at the rear... which is also something nobody ever seems to do.... OR my maths have failed me after 20,000 attempts and I'm about to make huge mistakes. 
    • What colour is that?  A mate of mine went red/black on his SLR5000 tribute recently also.  And yes, also glad to see this still progressing albeit slowly. 
    • found a company that makes a flat gauge face 3-d printed mounting base kit to eliminate the dished style gauges. if anyone else is looking to do the same https://www.dashfreaks.de/shop/flat-dials-holder-nissan-skyline-r34-gt-gtt/    
    • I installed my link ecu shortly after. But car ran fine with stock ecu and r35 coils, just had the traction control and slip lights on.
