It's about time, gutting the Nismo suspension.

I'd be happy to pick em up for you. Granted they might be a little used by the time you get em.

Man I've missed out on like a month of posts. Anyway...a few things after catching up. The Aragostas do come with instructions/build sheet but not shock dyno curves. Spooler bought his used.

They ARE rebuildable by AST here in the states. The Type S can also be upgraded to double adjustable with an external reservoir by Aragosta or presumably AST. They've got the goods of all the high end shocks, I'd go that route.

A few pages back, you were suggesting firming up ther dampers and I tried that for a bit but ended up going back down to deal with the gnarly roads. I had found a pretty good balance with the firmer rear settings however. The car was really tossable and I could make corrections whenever. It was just a really predictable set up like that and it seemed the car could do no wrong. Almost zero body roll. It was just tight and stuck like glue. Mid corner bumps didn't seem to upset it that much and no correction needed. But it did take a toll on the really rough stuff. Granted my car is 400 pounds heavier and has a 12" longer wheelbase but still.

I backed off five clicks rear and three front. Much better. Slightly more body roll but nothing like the stock suspension and the car sticks better over rough pavement. I'd try backing off the rear settings and go waaaay down. Like 7 clicks from full soft.

I'm going to compensate by adding more front camber and a little less rear.

There are some back roads in hill country which are extremely smooth for the most part. I'll dial it up a bit for those roads and it's just sublime.

It also seemed to me that the dampers needed quite a few miles before they're fully broken in.

Anyway...what you're asking is almost impossible. Maybe Multimatic spool valve dampers which isn't realistic for the aftermarket just yet. Going up in spring rate is just going to make things worse.

Issues went away since it got below 95. Rock solid again.

Rusty

Fluid issue.

That is what it appears.

I was making adjustments on the front today and made a bonehead move. I forgot where I was at. LOL Thank goodness for this thread. Back to 17 clicks on the front. The rear feels great. The TT kit has changed a little bit about the car.

Rusty

When's your notebook?

LOL, I lost it. Have you seen it?

I should have checked them when I got the car back. They were one click off
of what I had them set at. That confused me. I had made one click tighter and drove the car. I then backed out of that change. They should have been on 17 clicks, they were on 16 clicks. The thread just verified what I found. All this stuff was apart when the motor got dropped. Very easy for it to have been moved a click one way or the other.

Rusty

The added weight of the TT kit should have made some difference in your dampener settings.

Now the old man is thinking. It has and that is why I am tinkering with them again. Putting the front fender liners back in improved the aerodynamics. I noticed that also. I have more downforce on the front of the car now.

I pretty much run full stiff up front!

Your's is track settings. On the street should be a little softer. Plus if you are full stiff. Time to have them revalved.

Yep I adjust them for street driving and I had them rebuilt and revalved right before ZDAYZ 2018. They only have one track day on them before the motor went bomb. I had them set about 75% of full stiff from and mid stiff rear. I will be interesting to see where it ends up with the new springs and aero setup.

One more click on the front did the trick. I am at 17 clicks front and 15 clicks rear. Paying attention to the rear, I may add another click to them. The downside is I may loose traction if I get it too stiff in the rear.

Spooler

As far as my notebook Rusty. This is it. LMAO The main objective is I can replicate at anytime via my process.
