Does anyone actually make new shock absorbers or coilovers for 260rs series one?

Every search I have done comes up as discontinued or not suitable for super hicas models.

I know I can get bc's but is there any other options ?

Rhd Japan have a listing for twin super flex wagon for 260rs but again says not suitable for hicas models. Tried emailing them but no reply

Tein's site says they will custom make dampers for you so if Nengun or someone says they are discontniued its possible you can get them to order. I have Stagea specific springs in mine (with Nismo=Bilstein dampers).

R33 struts will fit front only, I think they work pretty well when you combine a heavy JDM spring with the extra weight of the stagea.

Rear GTR struts will be too short. I've tried it...

How much shorter? Could be good if ur after a really low stance

Just buy a set of hsd's or bc coilovers. Anything else will cost u a mint. Plus u can specify spring rates on hsd's so u can get it riding just right. I recommend 8kg front 7kg rear. Not to stiff but tightens the big whale up nicely.

Beyond drivable in the real world/bump stop love.

If you like the look of your front bar DO NOT DUMP the Autech (please) the overhang is a killer, it WILL scrape if you look at a speed hump straight on.

I'm running 34 gtr front struts with king springs lows (25mm drop on a GTR) and this is too low for practical driving.

you can specify spring rates on bc's aswell, i have 5kg/5kg, (thats the lowest they go)rides nice handles good, remember that 4 kg is something

like a 25 percent upgrade from stock already from memory (well it is on rs4's)

cheers

Just to add a bit of usful info

I used as per Sydneykids recomendations on the bilsteins shock I bought from him, R33 GTR front springs and R32 GTR rear springs......I used Kings springs approx 4kg

yep 4kg is the go, i had them with my teins, but they f**ked out and BC's only went down to 5kg, so i got them, not much worse

in the ride, but yeh if you can 4kg are always the go for stageas..

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
