Yeah, I've got ISC coilovers and the car's so low that I need to put the car on blocks to still be able to get my low profile blue point jack under the cross member. BUT, it all came like this, I haven't touched the suspension at all.

The first set were x amount old, but I screwed them within 300k's, but I did a decent amount of launches cause it was my first AWD car, the novelty didn't wear off quickly.
Then I put a second hand set in (couldn't find new ones) so they were also x amount of k's old, and I got about 3000 out of those. Including a full track day at a hillclimb with close to 20 runs up the hill dropping the clutch at around 4500rpm.

That's plan B.
I like how the car sits, but I don't like breaking the CVs. So I was trying to find a solution so I can have both, but at this stage raising the car looks like the only way to get them to last longer.

Will they still break if I have it in RWD mode most of the time?

Hi, Are your wheel cambers faceing in Negative- at the top, Is it the front or rear shafts you are stuffing, Are your rear drive shafts 6 bolt or 5 bolt at the diff ? , Put a pic of ya car up as it sits & a pic of thye rear end so we can se the rear wheels from behind and sam e for the front pic, so if you can supply that info we might be able to work something out for you, Cheers Jamind, A31 Cefiro SE-4

Ah yeah, I forgot to mention that it was the front CVs I'm having the issues with.
I'm not sure of any front camber. The rear has alot of rear camber, close to 5 degrees, but there's nothing dog balls obvious about the front. The car's up on stands at the moment cause it's getting some love, but i'll get pics asap.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      Yeah, sort of blurring two different things together, aren't we? I just meant O2 feedback closed loop. I used to have a 0-1V LCD meter on my dash, wired directly to the O2 sensor signal. So you could easily see what it was doing. Normal running it would flick back and forth nicely. Slow down to an idle and it would keep flicking, as the ECU tried to servo to maintain stoich, but it would slow down as each swing happened until it would stay at one end of the scale. As I said above, the sensor heater is not enough to keep it hot enough when there is also little heat in the exhaust flow. Give it a blip and it would start swinging again, then peter out again. Meanwhile, idle speed control would run just fine, because unrelated.

      It's not even O2 feedback, it's just simply when the ECU sees the closed TPS signal for whatever reason the idle will start steadily dropping until the engine dies. With the TPS adjusted to not trigger closed TPS it will idle at some ridiculously high RPM and something like 6 degrees of timing. In the absence of getting eyes on it personally and a lot of quality time doing diagnostics I couldn't tell you what the real problem was but it was interesting nonetheless

      Oof. One of my mates has an R34 GT-R that he initially was a "I want to go twins for response and convenience" on his stock 2.6 with Kelford 272 cams, but his friends are pests and were always in his ear about their place being in the bin.   Eventually one of the 2860-5s decided to add it's own input and force his hand, so he conceded and went for a Pulsar 6262G ("G35 900") with T4 0.85 hotside.    Here's an overlay of the results, same cams, same stock bottom end, same boost, same fuel, just from a pretty tidy 2860-5 install to a Pulsar turbo on a 6boost maniifold on BP98.   Worth mentioning here, it may seem like a dead horse thing but the dyno plot doesn't tell the story of how much better it is to drive - transient response has completely changed the car, he used to have flat foot shifting to stop it having to wind up again on gear changes even at >7000rpm... now it builds boost faster than that even short shifting.   It's 100% transformed the car before you even consider how much better it holds on: Pulsar and Garrett aren't the same, but from our experience if you're just looking for a better drive and the ability to make the same or more power I think the divided G30 770 would probably be the smallest I'd go to.
