i went down the dark side and just bought a set of Blitz ZZR COilovers for my GTT from Just Jap , which are 100 more than the BC range

The ZZR also comes with extenders for the damper settings which is extremely useful for the rear cause that means u dont have to remove the back seats just to adjust them (tho u have to poke a hole thru the parcel shelf) and i can honestly say , the handlings much improved , feels stickier to the ground with alot less roll and suprisingly comfortable , but firm

only seen one bad review from a mitsubishi colt ,

but i still decided to go down the dark side path

+1 for me

Tried to find a cheap set of TEIN SS coilovers but i knew i wasn't really gonna find anything as cheap as i wanted so ended up buying a set of BC BR's. I'll let you know how they feel on my R34 GT.

By the way, any advice on spring ratings? Don't plan on tracking my car anytime soon, just some mildly aggressive street driving here and there. I've been recommended 8/6 Front/Rear. Sound right?

8/6 is pretty stiff. For street only I'd tend to slightly softer springs and slightly more sway bar. But there are plenty of people running around with 8/6 on the street and it's probably because of the fluoride in the water that their fillings aren't falling out.

I went from stock to 8/6 BC's and they are rock hard, adjusting them from hard to full soft is like diamond vs granite, mines a track car, if it was street only they'd be straight out.

So what spring ratings do you guys recommend...

As i said, i don't track my car but i do like to take some corners on the road a little harder than necessary haha. I also don't want to sacrifice too much ride quality for ride height.

8/6 too hard? what is wrong with you guys? The standard 8/6 on the BC's is fine it's a bit harsh but nothing too bad I have them with uprated swaybars and daily my car as well as drifting. If anything I'd prefer a bit stiffer say 10/8 or even thicker swaybars but I am happy with current setup. From memory I have 24mm and 22mm swaybars

I have Kings Springs low, so whatever rating those are....it has to be less than 6 at the front, because they are much softer than 8kg/mm coilovers I've driven on. And I would say that that is juuuust right on the street. There is nothing worse than a car that rides like a crate of broken bottles on typical rough city streets. There is also nothing worse than driving a car that has massively stiff suspension in the wet.

But then, my car is also at a legal height, unlike most Skylines, and so I can afford to allow the wheels to move up and down relative to the body.

for GTT owners, Blitz ZZ R coils or BC BR coils? Price diff is negligible, I just want the right pair.

Street driving ONLY, will not track. Will not be looking to go slammed either, just flush or 'slightly lowered'.

The Blitz coilovers are a nice bit of kit, go in well, adjust nice and drive excellent for the dollars spent.

:thumbsup:

I went for the Blitz coilovers. 8/6 out of the box. Nice firm ride. I drive my car daily, so comfort was a big sale point for me, and they are quite good. I didn't adjust the dampering out of the box, but I think if anything, I could probs go a "tad" softer, but they are great.

Hsd are good, they have inverted shocks which is apparently better then the bc/tein way of doing things.

Really for under $1800 you only have 3 options, HSD, BC or the Blitz ones. I would stay clear of second hand units unless you know the history of them ie; an sau member, all the ones on egay I see advertsied are almost as much as new bc's, why bother.

So just got my BC BR's put in a few days ago. Although i've only had them for a short period of time so far, I'm really glad i chose them. They're much stiffer than my stock shocks but not too stiff if you know what i mean. They have significantly reduced the body roll that my car generates but are still kind enough on the car (and my back haha) to produce are firm but comfortable ride.

+1 for BC BR's

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
