yeah, they're good stuff - was the first mod I did to it 4 years ago and still going strong.

BCs on my GTR started knocking after like 10 months

i know someone that had teins on his FG and bent the lower mount where it joins to the hub bit..

Hahaha yeah no, don't do this.

Why not?

In all my internets, I have yet to see any product ever reviewed better than Shockworks suspension on Fords

Maybe its cause Fords handle uh, interestingly from the factory, or its Ford owners not expecting such a result.

But seriously, people act like they're the second coming of Christ, people fapping over Racepace built whatever comes nothing to the amount of praise that I read regarding these things on fords

While you are correct, all the praise I've seen are from dudes who own S13s or AE86s or similar on chopped springs so it's a HUGE upgrade for them, same story with the Fords. I'm yet to be impressed by a set yet, always been a let down unfortunately. That's not to say that cars can't be transformed with Shockworks coilovers, I just don't think they deserve the massive following that the drifters rant on about, in my experience anyway.

True, I was just always curious what would happen if someone put some serious thought into making a XR6T or GS actually handle, with some track oriented suspension.

Like a Supra (which CAN HANDLE, there's vids of people doing John Richardsonesque times at Winton in them) I wonder if its a "Culture of ford owner" problem instead of the car itself, cause noone's really given it a big try.

As for Shockworks, heard different things about them. Housemate has a set in his S15 and every person who's ever been in it pretty much reckons they are the shit. (these are not drift spec mind you). I doubt really there's a 6 second a lap difference between Shockworks and MCA and Tien's and Cusco and BC's mind you, probably relies a lot more on the dude sitting in the seat than the specific brand of coilover chosen once you have any of the more highly regarded sets

I'd say reasonably, he's got a quite a few engines on the cards. I'd imagine he could do it sometime next week or the following though.

No rush on it, just need a touch up tune sometime.

It absolutely is a culture thing, people don't usually buy them with the intention of tracking.. just quick street cars.

This is what you CAN do to them once it's intercooled (mods I listed before) with the right track pads / suspension

He came first in his class and 7th overall out of 120 cars @ Sandown 1:25 in the vid

btw he runs shockworks too so they must be arlight..

    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
