Yeah I know. Ive been looking into suspension lately for my R32 GTR as well.

Im not sure what racepace would charge to modify them.

Ive also spoken to MCA about their gold series. Looking at close to $7000 delivered!!

I have also been looking out for some Nismo Type R, there has been a set for sale for a while on yahoo auctions, probably because the buy price is around $4400.

Or the other option I have been trying to track down is Ohlins Flag R, but cant seem to find them anywhere.

So I would also be interested to see what has to be said here if anyone else has any input.

Oh lines flag R's and the Nismo's are basically the same shock painted in grey and red. They're not very forgiving on the street.

If you want to get the Ohlins new, Greenline do them, well they did last time I looked.

The Racepace modified Teins are awesome. Having been in Nismoid's car when he had them in there, Definately worth considering.

Ill also give racepace a call and see what they recommend with their teins.

I just had a look at Greenline and the Ohlins Flag R are about the same price as the MCA coilovers by the time they get to my doorstep.

Are there any other canister type shocks on the market? Would the MCA shocks require modification like the tein circuit masters?

EDIT: Found these on Yahoo Auctions: http://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/171373687

Is that a good price? Can Racepace modify those also?

Can I ask why you want remote reservoir shocks? The quality of the shock valving matters more than a cheaper shock running external reservoirs. Typically with external reservoir shocks you are getting features such as separate high speed, low speed bump and rebound adjustment etc rather than just a single dial to do everything. Its more those sorts of features then simply a bit of extra fluid volume that make them kick ass...provided you have a clue on what your car really needs in teh way of separate bump and rebound adjustment

They have only recently become available i believe.

Street to track were doing a group buy on here not too long ago on blue and red series.

I asked about their gold series, but they declined to offer in the group buy as they are completely custom jobbies.

Have just ordered a set of the reds front 10 rear 5 will post back on the results once there fitted. :thumbsup:

Jebuz - who recommended 10 and 5? I would assume that going to be a whole new world of understeer....(assuming you're talking spring rate in kg/mm)

What MCA recommended for a street/ occasional track day set up. No a massive or expensive job to change the springs if i find them too soft but thought i'd just go with what they recommend first and change from there.

Agreed tho are a little unusual spring rates

      33 GTR Broken front wheel knuckle

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc.

      Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?

      Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...

      R34 auto to manual conversion help

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
