what engine/turbo/suspension setup are your running btw..??

Well..

Engine & Turbo

Rebuilt RB20DET (metal gaskets, machined crank, honed rods, new pistons)

HKS Turbo (model has slipped my mind as was done before I bought car)

Sard 550cc injectors

Splitfire Coils

Z32 AFM

Nismo Fuel Pressure Reg

Nismo Fuel Pump

FMIC

Greddy Dump Pipe

3" Turbo-back Exhaust with 4 1/2 inch performance cat (3 inch inlet/outlet)

HD Clutch

GReddy short shift

GReddy Profec B II EBC

Apexi turbo timer

Stock gearbox

Stock LSD

Nistune

Suspension

Stock

Fronts fine

Rears are shot

May have left one or two things off but thats about it

so why are running all of that brand name gear and yet running crap tyres and stock suspension...

you dont know what turbo your running? and a HKS not making boost until 4300rpm, thats not that great...

that would feel like driving a sponge... makes no sense what so ever to not do suspension work first...

Ok many things...

1) It makes boost at 3200rpm, full boost at 4300rpm

2) Have you seen the price of rubber these days? And...i'm not doing any track work yet...Bridgestones are fine if everyone is saying that get same/more traction with sumitomos

3) HKS GT28R or something

what about suspension & brakes and, I dont think just adding coilovers is called an upgrade to the suspension on their own without being setup,

then there is bushes and alignments (and some sort of adjustable parts, castor & camber), and setting up suspension and alignment does not mean going to jax tyres, I mean a serious alignment by a proper suspension workshop...

Yeah I have the stock coilovers that came on all R32 GTSTs

4 pots on front, stock discs

2 pot on rears, stock discs

I think I'm going to...

  • Like 1

those tyres are hopeless, get yourself some kumho ku36 or federal 595s at the least.

if you have stock rear suspension i dont see how u could have negative camber unless someone has put lower springs on the factory strut.

that power shouldnt promote any wheelspin on decent tyres and correct wheel alignment.

not having a dig just letting you know you could easily be putting this power and slightly more to the ground IF you buy decent tyres and work out why u have negative camble on untouched suspension??

umm wow, who told you that one....

you need to read and learn way more before you do anything...

stock 16 year old brakes - fail

stock 16 year old suspension - fail

thinking BC coilovers will do everything - complete idiocy

seriously a car with only 150rwkw but a half decent suspension and brake setup would embarass you....

coilovers dont do castor adjustment on any car..., do you even know what castor is?

36 way adjustments in your hands would mean it would clearly be setup wrong.

no (thats wrong) Adjustable coil overs are height and damper adjustable.

you need adjustable arms if u wan to pull the camber back out of a lowered car.

caster is generally making reference to the front castor angle (you dont need to be worrying about this)

You're talking out your arse son.

Just pulled the first height and damper thread I found.

Edited by plan-b

except im not. i have adjustable arms in my car son.

aside from front coil overs to suit nissan sil/180. which can adjust camber.

how exactly do u plan to adjust camber and castor on the rear of your skyline using your coil overs???

No its a shit take...what you reckon?

Quick to jump on the defensive much?

Oh...is this in your R31?

Nice cover up. Pity he's a moderator and can clearly see what you originally wrote. Abusing the mods will get you no where.

the reason I asked about a piss take is because it's the third thread in almost as many weeks I have read with someone asking this question. I have X amount of power and I keep skidding everywhere. Granted, the last guy was in the wet. I was only checking to make sure you weren't having a joke.

There is ample responses above to give you the information you already wanted to hear. You only wanted people to tell you what you already knew.

1. Learn to drive

2. If you can't handle the power, down tune it until you get used to how to control it

3. Put on some better tyres

option 3 will pretty much cancel out options 1 and 2.

too much power, not enough experience, and poor suspension/tyres

yeah you will need more than some you beaut coilovers that come in orange to actually make the suspension better....

your wrong, we're right...

read it properly

i put brackets in the post so u understand what i meant lol. im only offering my insight mate.

NO, (coilovers dont adjust camber castor) adjustable coil overs are height and damper adjustable

1) Did you know that people have reasons for asking questions? Apologies for reacting the way I did but smart ass comments aggrevate the shit out of decent people.

2) Just because you can't see the validity in someone's point doesn't mean the thousands of other forum members don't...as can be seen from Bubbas comment earlier.

3) when reading text, tone and manner cannot be interpreted so the way you read something may not be the way it was intended to be read.

4) Putting on better tyres will eliminate my inability to know how to drive (just showed your maturity there)

5) Never said I couldn't handle the power, never even said I didn't like the wheels spin, and never said I couldn't drive

6) good to see your a mind reader. might PM you next time I need to make a really important decision.

7) Lucky number 7...means I stop wasting my time typing responses to your shitty talk.

Over and Out...

    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
    • The video for the servicing and fuel filter change can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44 One of the main jobs I wanted to do before the car officially went on the road, was to remove the awful looking blue silicone hoses. There's nothing wrong with having coloured silicone hoses, but I realise as I'm getting older I prefer monotone engine bays with a splash of colour on the engine cover(s). I cover this in a lot more detail in the Youtube video, so unfortunately there's limited photos of the process. The intercooler, upper radiator, boost vacuum and upper breather hoses were all changed to black silicone with mikalor clamps. The only blue left is a blanking cap at the back of the inlet manifold and the GReddy pulleys (which will be replaced for stock when the cambelt gets replaced) While the intercooler pipes were off I gave them a quick clean/polish too A before photo I do have a replacement air filter on its way. Fuse box covers were painted blue, they're now satin black Another job on the list while the bumper was off, is to add some mesh https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737966256_99b28bfa30_c.jpg[/img] I was hoping to use some thin wire to secure it, but it seems I've misplaced it and the wire I had was too thick to twist easily. I ended up using cable ties for the time being https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131882_c2b7989dcc_c.jpg[/img] Was pleasant to see this https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131627_8b2aab13b3_c.jpg[/img] The last thing to do was to fix the front grill and re-mesh that to match but I ran out of time The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4FsF6tgizE&t=23s
