I have searched other threads, however they are mostly around a year old when people first started hearing about BC. I just wanted to get an updated opinion or whether people have had direct experience with these coil overs?

I'm thinking about buying these for my 33. I don't do track days, I don't drift, I daily drive and give it a squirt every know and again. I'd basically just prefer the car handle a bit better on the road and with less body roll.

These are the ones I'm referring to.

I have bc br type coilovers in both my 33 and 13. Very stiff coilovers and very good height adjustment. I would say a little too stiff for a daily if your not actually looking for that kind of stiffness. However I would recommend them. And you get cool little plastic signs and shit in the box :D

All the S Chassis boys swear by these things, I don't think I've seen one bad review of them yet! They get compared a lot to Greddy Type S Coilovers. Some even say they come out of the same factory but no-one actually knows if it's true or not. a lot of it depends on existing suspension condition before the coilovers go in. I'm contemplating a set of the BC BR's .

It all depends what your using them for....Daily driving, Hardparking or Track work they all have different needs.

Im interested to find out opinions on these as well. I am looking at the BC ER Series with the external reservoirs for a 32 GTR. They are listed with pillowball mounts and spring rates are F:10kg/mm and R:7kg/mm but im enquiring about getting the setup with normal top mounts and spring rates of F: 7kg and R: 5kg as a max.

The car is mainly street with a track day once a month or so.

Some opinions on these would be great. Or some possible alternatives around the 1700 mark.

Cheers.

If you guys are not interested in buying the BC kits anymore i can sort out some coil overs that can give a more comfort ride that does not give away to much performance for around the some price. I can get them for $1250 and if you require any specs they are on the XYZ performance site but they have been modified to suit our specs, we have done all the r&d work on them here at Wholesale Suspenion and i can say they perform well.

The latest AutoSalon did a review of the BC V1's and gave them a decent wrap. They rated them 75/100 overall which isn't bad for the base models. So should expect the higher models to be even better! Getting more and more convinced by these the more I read about them. For everyday street use they shouldn't be too bad at all.

Yeah mate, am considering a purchase of the RM edition of these BC Racing coilovers as BR is turning base model when V1 dies out and ER is too hardcore :). For only $100 more than BR it has a few more tricks up it's sleeve. Haven't found any for R32 GTS-T yet though...

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
