Hello,

I'm considering to upgrade (from stock suspension) to an active suspension system.

Car will be street/track days but I would like the best setup.

However it's quite hard to find review on such aftermarket product. So I'm wondering if it's worth it or if it's just a gadget ?

The only brand which has made a model for a R34 gtr is tein (mono + active EDFC pro)

I noticed also some other brand such as mcr-ltd, dscsport, Aragosta or tractivesuspension

Any advice ?

Best regards

They're not really "active suspension" though, are they? Not in the computer-controlled-takes-input-from-a-bunch-of-G-steering-angle-rideheight-speed-etc-sensors-and-tries-to-control-wheel-rate-and-position-to-keep-the-body-flat/steady sense that proper active suspension is, right? You're just talking about electrically/remote adjustable damping rate, right?

The Tein product he's talking about is actually trying to be true active suspension. MCR's coilovers are just a custom spec relabeled Tein coilover. DSC Sport only makes a system for the R35, not the older RB GTRs, same is true of the Aragosta Type-SA active coilovers. Tractive Suspension seems to make something for the RB26 GTRs, but for a "performance coilover" they don't seem to care about basic information like spring rate which isn't all that promising.

Personally I'm of the opinion that if you're going to do this, you need to have it all properly integrated instead of whatever weird nonsense is going on with most of these systems. I really doubt that these systems are well-integrated compared to how an OEM would do it.

thanks for your inputs 

well I just mention some brands maybe I forgot one which made some product for the r34 gtr ?

so it looks like only tein made a "serious" product? But I'm quite concerned due to lack of reviews 

edfc is from 2013 ! and no new product since then so I guess it's not popular which means it's not a good option ?

so I think I'm better to go with a more classic system

I had these Tein coilovers and controller fitted to my car a few years it was novel made it easy to ajust the shock dampeners syuted for lazy people but i had to disconect the motors and wiring as someone smashed my passenger window and helped themselves to the controller and a couple of other things so now i just ajust the shock dampening manually company wanted nearly $600.00 for new controller so that wasnt going to happen a second time but the dampeners work great

 

thanks for your feedback ! 

Well my point was for the active part of the edfc.

Did you have the edfc active pro ? so that the dampers are adjust in "real time" ? (with g and speed sensor and so on )

did you make some track days with them ?

Best regards

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
