What sort of spring rates are you running?8kg front 6kg rear?

Yea bud the standard factory 8/6 combo. Anyone gone higher than mid range (16 clicks)? Do you guys just drive it for daily any mountain/track experience with these?

factory 8/6 setup on lowest damper setting is almost as good as stock!!

I use it as a daily, but was great for a run in the hills today!! handled so much better than stock, even on softest damper setting

Well camber is controlled by the camber arms not the coilovers, so correct they are not camber adjustable confused.gif

I have mine set on 25-front 20-rear for daily driving. I like the spine-jattering :D For the track I usually soften it up a bit.

correct me if im wrong but Im pretty sure you get camber adjustment on the pillow mounts up top (front only) to some degree.

I had BC golds in my evo a couple years ago and they handled like a dream. probably better than the Teins i had in the previous car.

Do you need to get a cert plate or something for after market suspension in Victoria to make them legal?

R32-R34 skyline's don't use camber tops (Like the S chassis does) they have camber arms.

Got them installed today and totally loving it. currently set to 15 clicks from soft both front and rear and they ride so much better than ma previous Ohlins Impul (prolly just not a fan of spine breaking rides lol). Turns so much better at both low/high speed cornerings and gets a better control of the car and improved traction as well. Will do a more thorough review with pictures soon

Oh true there ya go then. I'm running big camber in the rear to allow my wheels to tuck when going over bumps. They not going to last long at all wish I had justies so could push em back out a bit. Standard shocks just don't cut the mustard

You should set the front harder than the back to compensate for the weight spread. Will handle a bit better :thumbsup:

pitty those shocks are not really a "racing" style. i find the valving is nowhere. we had a customer with them in his r32. pulled them out and put in his old tien superstreets and was 4 sec quicker at eastern creek... dont need the rain on your parade, but if you have the oportunity to swap them for the normal bc's id advise it.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
