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

ive also ordered a set of reds for my street car will post results when they get here

I was looking at ordering a set of reds for a 32 GTR also, it's not on their list of available products however?

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

    • I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must me missing something? 
    • BRUH, one of the biggest mistakes of my life..... and i've had plenty ;[)
    • @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.
