with the BC kit i've noticed there are 2 types

- BR type RS series....................... more expensive

- V1 design VS series................... less expensive

whats the better one to get???

BR's are what I have, very happy with them. Iain has the same.

Not sure if one is "better" than the other; I'd be willing to bet the damper cartridge is the same, just prettier collars on the BR's.

what pic?

the ones on the justjap site dont look anything like the M35 ones. for a start, the rear of our car isnt a 'coil-over' type setup

yeh i just realised that again.

but if you compare them with the VS models the tops are different, so a wrong assumption by me.

looks like im just gonna get the VS's...

You don't try hard enough Iain! :nyaanyaa:

n00b question, but are there adjustable wishbones available?

Yes, but I doubt you'll need them. Camber is pretty good when you lower. I'd use offset bushes in the std arms, that way you still keep your ride quality.

Hey guys, Just into the coilover swap now.......S1 1997 RS4.

Couple of small questions, What's the difference between 34GTST and 33GTR front coilovers?

I know the spring rates are different as mentioned in this thread, but are the physical dimensions similiar?

And will a standard Stagea rear strut hat fit an a/m S14 rear coilover?

Thanks + Cheers :)

well 34 GTT (or 33GTST?) are rear wheel drive so id say different to your RS4 stagea. R33GTR physically fit. the s14 would physically fit an auto RS4 but top hats/mounts will need to be modified due to being too wide IMO. dampeners will be adjustable so you might get past the different valving in the shocks

if your buying coilovers why not just buy stagea specific coilovers?

Hey after searching and searching this thread and others, I'm still trying to find a definite coilover setup that will fit my rs4s I was looking at bc coilovers but I'm not sure now which ones I'll need Im pretty sure r33 gtr will go straight in but the valving is wrong will this make a huge difference if both the spring rate and damping is increased

Is your RS4 manual? AFAIK the manual's have the same shock bottom on the rear as a GTR (Fork-type), whereas Autos have GTST type shock mount (eyelet-type). My understanding of this thread is that R33 GTR front will be fine, but both R33 rears have wrong valving. Justjap list them specific for a Stagea with both Eyelet and Fork type rears.

Pretty easy to tell what you need if you poke your head under the back of the car and take a look at the bottom of the shock.

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
