I think you would like it even more if you put a nice combo of Kings low + Bilsteins in it. That, or similar combos, is the "standard" non-standard upgrade that people do. The ride won't be too harsh, but the car will handle even better.

If you can even still buy genuine dampers, it's hardly likely that they will be as nice as Bilsteins, and worse, they'd probably be dearer anyway.

The performance shop where my car is atm is trying to talk me into some tein super streets with incar remote to adjust the settings but they not real easy on the wallet, not sure if this only adjusts the dampening or can adjust the height.. sure someone can tell me. tho i am happy with how it handles now so i would go for something fairly standard if there is a big price diff. I've been told the standard 33gtr suspension is alot softer than the v-spec not sure if thats right or not. havent bn for a ride in any other skylines so dont really know. but dont really want it any harder or lowere than the v-spec cos our roads out here are shit, but dont really want it any softer for the times i mangage to find a smooth deserted range.

    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
