HKS suspension (very tough ride)

Tell me about your HKS suspension - is it the Hipermax adjustables? I have been in a Soarer with these they are ultra stiff...

I got a silver 1994 R32 GTR, its got ..

Tein type flex coil overs

... and the type flex? too stiff, not stiff enough, or just right? :cheers:

The suspension in the car are HKS Hypermax Damper II adjustables. Got it with the car and is way too stiff. When driving it feels like your sitting on a plank of wood. Drifting in the car is really, really easy due to its stiffness and rear wheel drive characteristics. I'am in the process of getting the suspension set for drag racing so hopefully some of the harshness will go away.

1989 Nissan BNR32 Skyline, 5 Speed Manual, Grey Metallic, 70,000 kms, Grade 4 [10005]

One owner with log books

Covered in dust

2 x long Scratches on driver's door window, may need replacing

Small Chip in windscreen

Engine is very clean and runs very well.

Kms definitely genuine

Small wear on steering wheel and gearshift

Looks like a non smokers car

No cig burns

Interior almost like new

Wave on LHS

Minor scratch on LHR bumpoer

Most of the A1 scratches will polish out

LHF lip has scrape / scratch

Time for an update. My bank account has taken a bit of a hammering this month, to put it mildly :)

1 x HKS EVC Type5 (aka. Version 4) - $600

2 x R32 GT-R Headlights - ~$200

1 x R34 GT-R V-spec Multi Function Display - $1500

1 set of Volk TE37 18x9.5J (custom black/gun-metal colour) - Y178,000 (just got to get them to Oz now :) ).

Total for the month: ~$4000

Eek. All that and my bloody car isn't even here yet.

Edit: Piccy of the new wheels :)

I feel your pain about the bank account balance LW.

mine go hammered today. I bought a turbo timer today, and ordered some coilovers, not here yet either. mines in November.

getting a quote on full exhaust tommorow. and checking out the price on compliance plus full service tommorow at autosport engineering. getting some stuff for my bday hopefully.

Iwells,

Where did ya get the multi function display from?  And does everything work the same as if it were in a 34?  Ie 'g' sensors etc??

Cheers

Brett

This should answer most of your questions :D

    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
