Lol. Here we go. Whore thread ahoy!

Sorry, didnt mean to start anything, was the first thing that came to my mind. Must get out of the gutter lol.

Out of curiosity, how do you expect the new dampers to compare to something like the ohlins flag r's?

Haha. I don't care mate. Whore away :D

Well, I ain't spending all this money for nothing ;).

What I have in there ATM is basically a flag R, just with a Nismo sticker on it. On the canister you see "Ohlins" written on the canister. Time will tell.

If you dont mind me asking, how much are they charging to do the setup for you? PM me if you like.

Just interested as ive been looking at flag r's or r tunes for my 32R, but if these are just as good or better at a fraction of the cost, it may also be a viable option for me as well.

Staying with remote reservoir?

Me reservoir. The body of the shock is a bilstien PSS9 with Dejan's specs.

My set won't be able to be put into a R32. Totally different suspension setup. How much are you looking at spending? These definately are not "budget" but they're not $10,000 either.

Ill pm you more info.

Yeah, judging by your comments i assumed you used to have (well still have for now) nismo r-tunes, which have a remote reservoir.

I know that R32 and R33 GTR's have a different setup, different weight and geometry, which is why yours would be no good for a 32.

"Budget" is not what im after, and yours is sounding like a good option.

Yeah, please PM me some info if you could, im quite intrigued.

PM's flicked fellas!

Suspension has been put back till the 31st of July. My box of Ikeya bits still hasn't turned up from Japan.... GRRR!

Yea i think i saw that box at the airport when i was working... :ninja:

Dont know where it could of gone... :whistling:

hahaha

Out of interest is it only the nismo r tune coilovers that have the remote reservoir or do the s tunes as well? Reason I ask is I have some sort of nismo suspension in my 34 at the moment and it has a remote reservoir just not sure exactly what it is

So Nick, it turns out you didn't steal my box of gold parts :D. Roll centre adjuster kit and tie rod ends here. That pretty much completes the underneath of the car. I think the only rubber/plastic bush mount on the car is gearbox mounts and engine mounts. ALL the arms are pillow ball and rear diff bushes are alloy.

Dampers should be at Unigroup by now. Booked in for the 31st.

I think thats the box I threw down the stairs cause it had ur name on it :P

cya on the 31st

Haha. Not sure if it would have made any difference. These things are heavy/solid as hell!

    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.  
    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
