i was going to get coil-overs for mine but i dont drive the car on the track enough and coil-overs make road driving REALLY uncomfortable.

I am just going to get some harder shocks and i have bought some 40mm lowered srpings.... then i will just get some front and rear strut braces and see what thats like. Thats the same setup that my '33 had and that was quite good.

coil-overs make road driving REALLY uncomfortable

Depends what coil overs you get and what spring rates they come with. Racing Gear make good ones I'm told and they aren't overly hard on the road. My mate has Cusco's not sure which ones and they are soft as shit. I got Tien HA's and they are probably a bit hard for some but you can always adjust them and they aren't too bad. 6kg spring rate up front and 4kg rear would be ideal me thinks.

I have HKS Hiper d's in my car which I bought off a guy who thought they were too hard. I put them in and I didn't think they were much worse than the lowered springs I had in it before that. I think hje must have gone from a completely stock car, to coil overs. I think if you are used to driving lowered cars you won't find them too bad.

In my 180sx when i had it (RIP) it had TEIN in it, the full adjustable coil overs. They were perfect for drift and normal street drivin. And when you wanted to lower it you could fairly easily. You can pick coil overs up for good money i would do it over just powered springs etc. :uh-huh:

In my old 180, I had adjustable Koni shocks and King springs. Was told these were fine for the car, but i found on hard turn I would hit the bump-stops a lot of the time. Would understand if it was under some serious turning, but it happened on most spirted driving sesions (read "all driving"). Didn't keep the car long enough to fix it though.

    • 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.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
