Hey guys, if it helps, I've fitted BC's to a bunch of cars at work now. I've got customers in Soarers, Skylines, Silvias and Subarus that I've fitted BC's to and all are doing very well. All customers are happy with the BC's, great product.

I'll be fitting them to my own Skyline in the not too distant future also.

Anyone interested in buying some Tein type HA jap spec coilovers out of my R33?

Are these BC's Kidney Bashers as the Jap ones in my GTR now are killing me on every bump and the Left rear has a Bad Bang in it so they are Fooked.

Thinking of getting a set of these, mainly do Around Town driving and a bit of Highway on occasions... Are they easy to live with in normal conditions???

Cheers Dave

No issues with mine, have been running them in my stagea daily for 9 months.

I have fairly soft springs fitted, almost stock rates, but the dampening is set firm. They feel great on the road, well worth the money.

As with any coilover it depends on what spring rate you get. You probably want 4fr/3rr or 6fr/4rr for a decent ride.

Has anyone used these coilovers on the track? I am thinking of getting these for track days so I am interested to see what peoples thoughts are for these proposes.

I got a set of the BC ER's (external reservoir) made up for my R32 GTR that see's the track regularly. The standard rates they come with are 12kg front and 10kg rear which I think is way too hard. After liaising with Just Jap, i got the factory to produce a set with 8kg front and 6kg rear. They also revalved them for these spring rates and extended the lengths to ensure they would run at the heights i wanted.

I couldnt be happier with them. On the road i have compression and rebound set to full soft and on the track i have found that about the midpoint on both compression and rebound gives me the best feel. Coupled with the whiteline swaybars front and rear, the car is very neutral now whereas it used to be very understeer dominant. Ive cut my times down at lakeside substantially with these coilovers (and with the swaybars).

I couldnt be more happy with the service from Darron at Just Jap either. I was really impressed with the running around he did for me and the quick response time. I fully recommend these to anyone who are after a good track coilover without compromising too much on the street.

Cool looks like they hold up really well. I've been doing some research on them and there is a lot of good reviews through the other forums. Did it cost more to change the spring rates? If you don't mind how much did it all cost with swaybars as well? I am looking at doing the same thing if I go ahead and buy the BC's. PM me if you like. Cheers

The custom spring rates and setup were the same price which I thought was pretty amazing. There was a lot of extra effort put in to get them made up and at no extra charge to me! I got the swaybars through a seller on here or nissansilvia i think, they are Whiteline adjustable products and were around 210 each from memory.

This is what I was after, My Jap Ohlins that came with the car when I got it are terrible.... Lose my breath on some bumps!

Just ordered with JJ so we will see soon!!!!

Go for it, i went from Tein HAs that were in need of a bit of a rebuild and left my kidney on the side of the road to BC BR series and WOW!! so much nicer to drive my GTR as a daily now
Is it really worth going the ext resovoir BC's or is that just overkill for a daily/occasioanl track use?

If its mainly a streeter, just go the BR series mate. The ER's are great, but are more track oriented (harder). If i was choosing some for a daily, i would be going possibly the BR's with 6kg front, 4kg rear as a max spring rate combo

I went for the 8kg Front and 6kg Rear as per the site and it seem good for the short drive I did today after install.

Compared to what I had in there they are like silk..LOL

Just need to set my heights back to where they were and play with the dampening a little bit.

see i was thinking the same going BR's

iv currently got bilstien's on my gtr, and my rear left knocks like a motherf*ker, but bilstiens are an alright brand, so im thinking of jus overhauling them at pedders or somthing.

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
