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.

sorry still in the newb stage here, but you guys havent had any problems using the bc br's in dailys, i was looking at getting them for my r34 in the 8/6 combo but after driving a friends silvia was wondering wether they'd be bone jarringly stiff like his were. thanks

im looking into getting aset in the next few weeks for my r32 gtr

but will most proberbly go with 6-4kg spring rates and then use the damper adjustment to fine tune them

i think the 8-6kg for sydney roads will be way too stiff...

I've got a set of 8/6 (v1's) on a 4dr 33 as a daily car, they aren't that bone jaring (and I drive about 45-50 mins ea way to work and back) on some of the shittiest roads Brisbane has to offer :).- sometimes have to dodge some of the larger bumps or potholes. I've got them adjusted to about 8 clicks off the softest setting

i got BC BR 's 32 gtst 8/6 combo and i find it to hard/harsh even on lowest damper settings. car is used for daily but gets driven hard at times.

i found it better with 2 up to 6 from softest dampening, so as not to be bouncing from bump to bump and i agree with harder on the front than the rear eg 4/3 on the dampners.

i have had these for around 1 year and i think with the softer springs will be one of the ultimate CHEAPER street setups.

i have put the 6kg rear springs to the front and am waiting for 5kg rear spring to arrive.

i was told they would not fit, but can CONFIRM they fit, only difference is the spring length by around 12mm longer in the rear springs.

i just wound down the bottom spring platforms as you would do normally.

i had shagged stock shocks on king lowed springs and locked at replacing shocks and found to be move affordable and performance buying bc racing coilovers, and after being defected with lowered king springs i wanted the height adjustable, so i could get it closer to legal . :)

    • Impossible to remove the housing while turbo is installed on the manifold on the engine. So I have to do it anyways. I plugged it so there will not be any debris in there. Will vacuum aswell 
    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • 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
