i hate it when ever i leave work there is one road with a terrible surface and i see it coming and try not to let it happen so now i just clutch it/change gears over it or take it off throttle, this is a section of the road not the entire road fyi 8)

You just answered your own comment there, your aristo (read barge) is so bloody heavy it NEEDS stiff suspension to eliminate all the commodore like bodyroll.

As for the lurching, what sort of clutch do you have? How much play do you have with your release point etc? Might just want to give it a few move revs before you engage the clutch. Your suspension doesn't have anything to do with how you're using the clutch :P

Actually, standard suspension is quite soft, i have Tanabe Sustec coilovers in there, they are stiff, the only reason why they roll so much from the factory is the standard(on some) Air Suspension cant control roll too well around corners, the other standard(coil type suspension) cant control it because its not stiff enough, aristos arent supposed to go around corners like they are on rails, they are a luxury car!! just so happens to have either a 1uz-fe mated to a 4wd system, or a 2jz!!

hehe yeah, I neglected to mention they were actually a luxury car in japan :happy: Theres a dude rollin one with custom plates (can't think what they were at the moment) running about 500hp. Youngish guy, managed 420rwhp at a toyota dyno day last year down at In Tune Performance. 2jz's are hax...

    • Evening, wanted to pop in and finally register to say hi to everyone here on SAU!   It's been a while since I've been active on a forum, but back in the day I used to be relatively active on ClubLexus and other hobby-related forums. I'm glad to see SAU is still around, since with the advent of Facebook and Discord it seems forums aren't what they once were. As a recent new owner of an S1 260RS Stagea, I've found so many older guides and helpful tips from SAU that I figured I needed to join and say a grave thank you. My recent acquisition has only become legal in the US for the past year, and knowing that similar car enthusiasts from across the pond have already figured out the kinks and tricks to get these 25+ year old cars running well. I look forward to diving into more of the SAU forums as well as hopefully contribute some info myself for future posterity.   As a pic tax, here is one of the few good photos I have of my Stagea. I hope to get way more in the future!    
    • Is this where I say "Hey man my airbox cost me horsepower in my Naturally Aspirated Engine"? (I know you need them for legality in NSW)
    • 1.5mm alloy folded up, it will need a tweek, as the angled bend only got to around 45° as that was the max that the break press would get with the other bends, and I needed a fair bit more, but and the alloy is easy to bend too my will by hand once I trim the lower section out I'll Dremel out and form the angle and mounting point on the lower section when time permits  As for the lid, I'm looking at going a "cap", instead of a flat lid to hide the fixtures a bit
    • I got sick of thinking about batteries so just kept buying chargers. I've got a ctek (racecar), a "noco" thing from supercheap (tow car with 2 batteries), and an old "SupaCharge" branded lead acid thing (farm ute/mower) and will need 1 more when the Silvia gets a battery again (if the 86 stays).  I always make sure the charger itself is in free space/away from car etc, just to be sure.
