Well, pretty much I'm done screwing around with my v-spec ii r-tune.

I've only a few more niggles. You can see the missing center caps for one.

I need a new battery.

I'd like some coilovers that are up to Ohlins standards but are quiet.

Any recommendations?

Damn, how long have you been hiding this R1..?

I never knew...

Nismo R-Tune R1 + HKS V-CAM, the car must really go hard.

What suspension you got in atm?

I have Cusco's atm but I must say are quite hard, but I felt Tein's are quite good.

2530s so I think it is 375 kw at 24psi but I have all the original bits so can return

to stock some time.

driving around like a granny it is smooth and quiet which makes the violence when it

boosts even more freaky.

ohlins flag-r and they feel great, not hard or bone jarring, despite having 10lb springs.

but .. they rattle on the mounts @ the rear, and I'm told that is just the way it is. Not

audible when pushing it, just when dawdling around. It bugs me.

they were installed replacing s-tune, and two different places said I'd have to live with it, Croydon was one of them.

but on another forum someone said they cut out rubber from a mat and used that in the mounts

somehow! (not flag-r but other Ohlins). Would be a shame to give them up if its just one fix away

from being done.

^^ Nice!

Built / Imported from Nismo Factory yeah..?

Have you got the rear coil overs checked out to see what the rattling noise is?

All the Nismo S1 and R1 engine builds come right out from the Omori Factory and a special build plate can be seen on the right strut tower.

I'm so jealous Justin, I've never seen an R1 engine before but plenty of S1's. I'll pm you about meetup soon and talk about my coilovers I use.

Yeah I knew that, what I was trying to ask was did Moneypit import it directly from the Nismo Omori Factory or was it bought from an Import place.

I should have explained myself ;):down:

it is a zele car, the original owner had omori do the R1 conversion in 2003. I think if I was in Japan with a mint R34 I'd do the same. For the price you can screw up in far greater style by going to some tuning shop or another. And the car is very much still as tractable as it was stock.

I'm going to take it to tunehouse in a couple of weeks, and see what they recommend.

To get a 2nd opinion yeah..?

Ohlins are nice and IMO, no suspension should just rattle and have to live with it.

Yeah you put up with the bumpy / hard ride but noise wise, gota be checked out.

    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
    • Probably. I take it that they are also mentioned to be for R34 Skyline? For example.... RDA has that part as RDA7957. I have the dimpled and slotted version of that on my car https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/285518478694?srsltid=AfmBOopKxMuAFpsxZJdB1cam4D5RAj1f9yJyOttPZLAwXVNCOiwlhrIy This is DBA's top one piece equivalent https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364246686631?srsltid=AfmBOorbb0XHQgqTvZLgQPhg70nqJtGvdojKnugum3O2LFSr2h-obp8D
