acts of kindness often go unnoticed in the world, especially on SAU. I want to give a massive thanks to SLEEPER85, aka Christian, who borrowed my coilpacks and dropped them off with a bottle of Johnny Walker black! Didn't expect to get anything and didnt ask, so if you ever lend or buy etc. something from him, hes definately a trustworthy forum user :)

Yeah. Few minutes per side for the castor easy and while you have the shock/spring out the camber arms right there.

just remember when you do install the adjustable items, to set them to the same length as the stock items. then you dont need to worry immediately about the alignment (ie it will be alright to drive to have a wheelie done on it)

I need some ideas for suspension/coilovers as my front castor rods need replacing (so I thought I might as well do the whole lot in one go). I have researched JIC FLT-FAS but from what I've heard, they're probably going to be too stiff for normal street driving and some hills work, especially with Adelaide's shocking road quality.

So what I wanted to know is what you guys use and what you'd recommend.

Also wouldn't mind knowing who/what workshops can install them for me.

theyre what... 8kg front 6kg rear? that isnt harsh norm. double digits is getting a bit painful. 8/6 is livable. my cusco's are 8/6, and theyre easily streetable. even with the dampers cranked up. whos told you theyre "probably" going to be too stiff?

from memory, luke (enr034) had 10kg springs on his cuscos, and that was beautiful to drive.

or... just double, triple, quadruple your budget and get pss9's or something similiar.

and just for fun, ask nightcrawler about his 'well thought out' suspension setup on the r34. that was f**king horrible if i may say so myself. bumpiest car ive ever been in.

as for installation... hardest part about fitting coils is setting the height. but thats more fiddling about than anything. actually fitting them though, im sure theres a lot of people on here that would be able to give you a hand. id do it, but you live on the other side of the world.

I'd have to disagree Dave....8/6 is beautiful......double digits no good for Adelaide.

A slight ripple on a bend with double digits and you come unstuck or a slight ripple at the end of a straight and your brakes lock up your wheels.

If worried about body roll, stiff shocks are not the answer.

Ive got 10f/8r. I was told to get this by Ryan because the Skyline is heavier than a Silvia, 180 etc.

On the topic of suspension, I had a hideous knocking sound in the front left, pulled it apart today and found the upper arm bushes need replacing. Recommendations/experiences on what bushes to use?

Saw that with general searching and creating a topic:

Although he did say that it's only not so great if it's a daily driver, which in my case it is not.

Probably won't fit the coilovers for a bit now (might still buy them as they're on special), but at least going to do the front castor rods ASAP. I'll speak to you about it on Wednesday week.

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
