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 was just driving into work and while on my drive, I went to accelerate and noticed the car would sputter/hesitate and I’d hear a few pops from the exhaust before it started going faster. Then I also noticed that when I push my clutch in, the car would die. This all started happening today. Any ideas?
    • That is a lovely Volvo, just saying. Yes I should have got an 260RS when they were cheap. I do regret now.
    • ^ lots of good points made above. The thing is, "aggressive" or "flush" fitment is relative depending on how much you have been influenced by social media. My starting point is always "look at the Nismo RWD specs". That is where you should start, then start measuring as GTSBoy as sort of mentioned, because every car will be slightly different. My 8.5"+35/9.5+38 will not be "flush" enough for you because you want more "pumped" look, which is why you measure. Tyre sizes and brand/models also make a difference. Some tyres are more chunky/square, some are more rounded. That means you could get away with more aggressive offsets without rubbing. But then it also depends on your ride height. Also depends on how much your car copped damage before being shipped from Japan. So it goes back to measuring your car yourself and determining what can work. Those Nismo specs are used bacause it's a safe spec for standard car (suspension. body) with chunky tyres. But then I put 265/35 wide tyres on R34 GT-R wheels, and currently run 285/30 tyres on 18x10 wheels.
    • Sounds pretty awesome. I recommend creating a new build thread and posting all your goodness in there.
