wow not bad..

so wat exactly was needed?

The lower fork mount for the rear shock is 5mm wider than the bush, requires spacer which I made on the lathe.

I used the upper mount off the originals but used the rubbers off the BC's

The height on the rear is wound right out, this is as far as the springs can go. You could possibly run a thicker rubber spacer, or new springs if you needed more height.

I would say this may have been designed for an arx, do the actual mounts change position on those compared to mine?

hm.. very intresting..

ill find out more about it in time

Looks good Scotty. The rear is very low.

From what I have read there is no difference in the components between the RS and ARX for suspension.

I would love to rip the wheel off one. Anybody around south east Melb with an ARX? :P

So what gives the ARX its height if the parts are the same?

It is the springs, shock and wheel size.

If you want to send me your VIN I can check some of the part numbers be your car and mine and see if they are different.

You mentioned that you used the mounting on the rear from the old shocks. I had to do the same with the Bilstiens also.

Hi Scotty, if you still need to see an ARX, let me know...

Currently in the UK, but will let you know when I am back...

Keep an eye out for a silver ARX, it should be locked in the garage....

I would love to see it, In fact Im amazed I havent seen you already.

Drop around for a coffee if you like.

    • Thanks for the quick reply. To be clear, when you say turbo shuffle do you mean turbo flutter "stustustu" or referring to something else? I had thought they were the same thing. When I wrote the post my intention was to say it wasn't a flutter/compression surge sound. My understanding was that a flutter sound would be occurring when throttle is released, whereas I can keep the throttle in the same position for this noise
    • Hi everyone, I've been wrestling with this for a while now and have been trying to find out the cause. For context, the turbos used are Garrett 2860 -5s, the BOV is a BNR32 HKS SSQV IV kit, the car is currently tuned to ~470 whp on 17.5 psi. The car drives normally, pulls well when it doesn't happen, and I can replicate it fairly easily. It does not sound like turbo shuffle or flutter. The engine has only a thousand or so miles and has had this behavior since it was completed. After my engine was built for my R32 GTR, I noticed that the car now sometimes makes an air discharge sound on what appears to be positive boost pressure that sounds really similar to a BOV. I had thought that it was a BOV issue but even when replacing it with a brand new unit, the sound persisted. It seems like it's coming from the passenger side but I may be mistaken. The closest scenario I could find was this post here https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/ started by @yakshii and it sounds very similar. As in, at partial throttle once I reach positive boost I begin to hear the same psh psh psh psh psh sound like air is leaking somewhere when I keep the throttle in the same position. It most commonly happens in 4th gear at around 3-3.5k RPM and 5th gear around 2.5-3k RPM, which seems to coincide with normal positive boost thresholds. It might be similar to what @Austrian GTR mentioned about his own HKS SSQV. Notable difference would be that when he applies more throttle when it happens, it stops. In my scenario if I apply more throttle during this repeated psh psh psh sound, the cadence of the sound gets faster and louder rather than stopping. If I lift off slightly and apply throttle again, it will normally stop and pull without issue. I've checked all rubber couplers to ensure that they are tight, but have not gotten the opportunity to properly do a pressurized boost leak test. If anyone has had similar experiences or thoughts on what might be the cause, I'd be very keen to hear them. I also have a video of it happening from inside the cabin, if that would make it easier to understand: https://youtu.be/2zqZXcx8jbA
    • I'd want at least $40K for mine, but thats easy to say cos I'm not selling anyway.
