I am just curious to know how many people have the JIC Magic suspension in their GTR-32, and what you think of it.

I have it mine and i know i am not the only one to have it. Mine are adjustable from the strut tops, with a numbers 1-5 on there. im guesing that 1 is the softest and 5 would be the hardest. RIGHT?

also, it is adjustable in ride height as well, and when i got the car, i never got the tool to loosen or tighten up the spring coils, and i am wondering where to get one from. ANY ONE KNOW?

All round the fealing is grate, except when i hammer it arround corners, it gets all jumpy in the back end. BUT when it get it sliding, is quite fun to drive.

my drive way and pot holes on the road are a bitch tho.

Oh yeah, and Japs know nothing about suspension, apparently... >_<

The adjusting tool is called a "C Spanner" and you can get them from any bearing shop (CBC and ABC have branches all over the place). Your local one will be in the Yellow Pages. You need to know the diameter of the spring seats so you can get the right sized C Spanner. There are universal ones but they cost heaps more.

I had adjustable jics in my dr30.

they are very firm. the adjustments seemed to increase the bump portion of the damper alot more than the rebound.

overal i wasnt very hapy with them. they were livable with softer springs.

they probably have 11front and 9kg rear or somthing.

its writen with white paint on the top coil.

from my recent experiance with springs id go with 8front 7 or 6rear.

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.

      ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.
