good afternoon all,

i didnt want to start a new topic for a simple question but i cant seem to search and find a definative answer.

im buying a new set of BC BR coilovers for my stag and im trying to work out the right part number with the guy.

its a 1999 C34 SII Rs4-S manual awd.

is the rear an eyelet or fork type ?

they seem to have a listing for wgnc4 or rs260, but im sure the rs4s SII has something specific to order for.

thanks for all the help.

Glyn

ah sorry, should have explained im without the stag for a week otherwise yeah i would just look.

need to order the parts now if i can, thanks for the help, if anyone can confirm that would be magic.

im going 6/8kg, i assume these will be good, i know their going to feel different from my R34 but i dont think i need to go stiffer?

is it advisable to get softer rates in the wagon?

im used to the standard 6/8 in the 34 coupe and obviously the wagon is going to feel different but im not sure if its preferable to go harder or softer?

is anyone using 6/8?

would love to feel the difference

4kg are 25 percent harder than stock...i am not sure anyone apart from a wanker drifter thinks that anymore equals better handling

on PUBLIC roads, not a smooth racetrack

Im pretty sure plenty of people somehow think its the coilovers job to stop body roll, when its really the sway bars job..lol

and in adelaide hills, you just end up bouncing of the road (my kids go to school in the hills, so its gets driven up there every day) ..not to mention all the potholes we have on our roads compared to other states.

BC only make them down to 5kg..otherwise i would have got 4's, as i had them in my TEIN coilovers first

SK handling kit years ago had 4's from memory aswell

cheers

i recon i might go 5/7 or 5/6 down from their standard 6/8

i do still like a firm ride,

im well aware of what the rollbars and coilovers do.

i never experianced understeer or excessive oversteer in the hills in my 34gtt with 6/8 i dobut the stag is going to act totaly different.

im still unsure on how the stag and R34 are going to differ. what is the main difference, the weight?or the weight distribution? the 4wd?

what makes the stag need softer springs or are you just talking about your preference in general?

if 6/8kg acted in the stag the same as the 34 then i would be happy.

slightly softer might be ok as i usually ran the stiffness at about 20 out of 32 in favour of hard. (0 being soft 32 being hardest)

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
