Time to Scale things up


Old suspension could barely keep up with that much of power. Actually, flatting out felt like boat at heavy wind. Or rather tornado. Not safe for sure.
I though a lot about what way to go with new suspension, and I found out I can't decide.

Anyway, we went to check the suspension once again to check what can stay and what have to go. I'm not much of mechanic, but I can say that it was looking as bad as driving. Not broken, obviously, it passed all the tests and nothing felt off when I was driving around.

That fitment though

Lack of parts kicked in again. If I wanted original BNCR33 parts I'd have to go to Philippines. And I didn't. I went with Japspeed lower arms which looked just right in term of both quality and price. Driftworks kit costs more than twice more, and it is intended for more track oriented use than I'll ever need.

That front fitment though

Note the fitment on front. It's GTR kit and so is wheel offset (at least it looks like it to me, I'm not mechanic). It's a bit awkward to see the wheels stick out so much, but it's unfinished and I plan on going wide with it. So it's cool with me. Tires rub on arches when I'm driving on curbs and such, but I try to not drive on them so much ;)
I could raise it up a bit, but I don't mind asking Mike to do it, since not it sits great and it took a bigger bit of time to make it. Oh, yeah, I got Scale Innovative coilover set which I found out is "easily" adjustable - few bolts, few other metal parts and you are ready to go.

That rear fitment though

I got to say - these coilovers are really awesome. It's really comfortable, even though it's really rigid. I'm really fancy on going on some race track with it. But it'll happen after I do rest of things I keep in my head...


Now it's your chance to choose what kind of bodykit would you like to see on it:

a) GTR replica
b) BN-Sports style
c) Some 2000's fancy rice
