My car is fine :P I only thought it was broken because these stupid wheel alignment people told me it was.

Hmm.. Going to order coilovers now.

BC BR Series - $1300 NEW

or

Tein Flex - $1100 USED

?

ive searched the BC's for the evo on evoOz and a lot of guys are running them as entry level coilovers for track and for just normal street driving

and all really good feedback from them

i actually rode in an evo 7 last saturday that my mate was looking at buying that had the BC's 8k front and 6k rear springs and with the damper turned down it was like driving a normal car, couldnt even tell it had coilovers

it was even less stiff than my standard shocks with tein s-tech springs, but then you can adjust it to be really stiff

what wheels did you get Anf? those work ones you linked?

yeah they are wed kranze ERM's

damn dirty though!

ill take a pic of one i spent about 3 hours cleaning last night and one i havent cleaned

need to buy some new rubber for them tho :D lol

taken on iphone so sorry bout quality

so much dirt and tar im guessing it is

how they started

after alot of elbow grease + a cleaning product called gumption which is some multi purpose cleaner (tried heaps of other things i have laying around and wouldnt get through any of the dirt even tried a tiny bit of degreaser on a tooth brush and didnt do a thing)

after a few hours

and how the front of them look

going to need to get the gutter rash fixed up but to be honest much nicer than the stockies :D

same spring rates as my monoflex

and i love the ride even know it can be very firm at times around the shit melbourne roads..

im guessing u had super streets cos they are

F : 4kg/mm

R : 4kg/mm

?

i cant even imagine what they would feel like driving around the shit roads say around toorak / prahran..

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.

    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
