Jic Magic Suspension - Gtr-32

[GTR_NUTZ]

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.

mate, the general concensus around here seems to be that if its not Whiteline, its junk (its like some sort of parellel dimension in here :lol:)

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.

To give you some idea of what you are dealing with, the standard spring rates are around 3.5 kg/mm and a set of road/sport springs from Kings or Whiteline are around 4 kg/mm.
