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.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Duncan · Posted

      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)?

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...

      Might import a stagea

      By iamhe77 · Posted

      Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
