What are your opinions? I will mainly be using my S15 for the street, but will take it to the occaisonal track day. Want the suspension to be good handling but not to harsh to the point its uncomfortable and I get bump steer etc.

I had a set of HSD HR on the s13 with 6kg/4kg and they felt pretty good.

I am still unsure of the exact specifications of silkroads (e.g piston size, free length etc) but unsure if theyre more suited to a track application

Here are the specs of HKS

Let me know what you think please

thanks.

I've had HKS coilovers before and my experience was that they were way to harsh for our streets. Actually made it worse to drive day to day.

Depends on the model though, I used to have the Hiper D's (original hipermax not drift) with 10/8 & really wasn't very streetable. Changed to hipermax 2's with 7/6 & was a massive improvement.

No input on the silkroads sorry.

I got the HKS Hipermax III with 9kg on both front and rear. It's perfect for the street! For the track... we'll have to wait and see.

Ok good to hear....on the street does it feel nice, stable and firm?

Let me know how it feels when you take it to the track...

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
