JamieP Posted August 8, 2011 Author Share Posted August 8, 2011 (edited) I see you have started waterproofing the block paving ready for the winter So have you got the flat shift thingie fitted / mapped yet? Lol, dodgy turbo drain did that to the drive a couple of years back, We started on the flat shifter today but ran out of time, Ryan had 3 other cars waiting to be worked on so going to finish it later in the week.

monsween Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Bring them to SRD and you can get them fitted while the bbq is getting fired up on Friday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Check the nitrogen charge in them, they tend to leak. I can re gas them if you need them doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greeny Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Have you got adjustable suspension on the rear at the minute? One thing I noticed is that it tends to transfer the weight between the front and rear alot on gear changes. Can you adjust the rebound so that it's slower to come back up and keep the weight over the rear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 they look in very very good condition. good find mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandan Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Check the nitrogen charge in them, they tend to leak. I can re gas them if you need them doing. Can Jamie do that with a tyre pressure gauge on the valve at the bottom? Any idea what they should be Chris? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted August 9, 2011 Author Share Posted August 9, 2011 are these hiper d's ???? Yes. Bring them to SRD and you can get them fitted while the bbq is getting fired up on Friday I'm not taking this car to srd, going in the slow one. Check the nitrogen charge in them, they tend to leak.

Chris Wilson Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Any re-valvable dampers or double adjustables can be turned into "drag" shocks. They just have hardly any front rebound, and hardly any rear bump, to create speedy rear weight transfer. Similarly they run very low rear spring rates, and medium fronts with LOTS of extension in front springs and shocks, and lots of compression travel available on the rears. Hence the tighter wound upper coils. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky49 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 So Jamie you have built this monster and there doesn't look like much that can still be done to it. What does the future hold for the black beast? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted August 9, 2011 Author Share Posted August 9, 2011 Plenty to be done yet Ricky, Don't think to yourself I will ever sell it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The-Plethora Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Drag autobox would be interesting although probably compromise everyday drivability too much. Of course....you have more than one supra "The silver beast".... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
