Yeah sorry that's my bad, A v8 is what was said and my father in law has A v8 and Paul makes more rwkws at 3000 then that v8 makes peak at the fly

That said spend the kind of coin I guesstimate Paul has making his the machine it is to a V8 and between 2-3000 rpm you'd be pissin in the wind trying to match it

Thanks Moose :).

A V8 is always gonna feel better low down on the street though. That's just how it is. It's definately nippy ;).

Haha nippy! You been hanging around me too long! My baby 270kw Evo is nippy the sperminator bitch slaps you in the forehead when she comes on! ;)

So, the dampers arrived but Dejan didn't order the pillow tops as he thought we would reuse my current ones. Only issue is, how do I sell my Nismo's without tops? Errrr. So new Bilstien ones were ordered.... Wern't cheap. Now, just my luck, the guy that assembled the dampers wants to put these tops on. Something to do with the height of something (not sure why Dejan can't put them on but anyway....). This guy however is on a flight to god knows where and won't be back till Tuesday. Grrrrr

So now the plan is, install everything on Wednesday, modify the HICAS lockout bar to move up then point the wheels in the right direction on Thursday.

Just got home after unbeaching the whale off Unigroup's shores.

Suspension feel's incredible. It's on number 2 of 8 or 9. Soaks up bumps and stuff with ease. Very progressive in how it breaks traction too. You can almost "feel" when its about to go. On hard breaking, the nervous and wandering around rear end is gone completely! Having said that, there was a few little geometry changes which would have helped eliminate that.

We ended up with spring rates of 14 kg/mm on the front and 9 kg/mm at the rear. Feels softer (and definately more compliant) than the Nismo S Tunes I had in there a few years ago.

The car is sitting fractionally lower than what it was before, but, no problems over speed humps and driveways. Thank god! I made sure Dejan knew it's not a time attack/track pig!

    • Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!
    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.
