Hey guys johnny here

I just want sum feed back from any one who have used BC ER series coilovers are they any good ?

I have a r32 gts rb25 neo looking to make it a w.e cruiser / possibly daily driver / drag car

Any suggestions for other brands would be great! And prices

Also on my list is a r33 turbo 5 stud conversion, what are the parts that I will require to do this? And how much are they?

Thanks Johnny

All depends on what your budget is man, my daily Crx has J's racing coilovers and they are stiff as fwak, 20kg, 18kg springs. I assume the BC is something like 8kg 6kg? BC are getting quite popular as they are bang for buck, and I haven't seen anyone give bad points about them thus far. They are rebuildable in OZ too. Personally I'd opt for Tein Mono Flex if your budget allows

what's your budget? if you want the "BEST" coil-overs for a R32 you'll be looking at around $8K per corner (around $30-$35,000 for a full set-up). but somehow I don't think that's what you're after. There are good packages at $2,000 and great ones around $4,000-$5,000. and there are plenty of cheap nasty ones too.

My budget is 1,800 - 2,000 so can sum one point me in the right direction. What is my best bet with this price range

And what parts do I need for the r33 det 5 stud conversion

Have a look at silk roads, can get them for about that or less depending on the dollar. I run them and have no problem with them as well as a few other people i know.

If your going to use it as a cruiser/daily/ drag car then coilovers might not be the best solution

for your budget probably the best option is a set of bilstein shocks (with the circlip type height adjustment) and a set of matched springs (eibach most likely). in sydney heasmans would be the place to go and I'm sure they ship to melbourne too.

they are a good set-up for the under $2K mark.

    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
