Sorry I can't elaborate on any new info, but i have a question. I know you track your car often and are looking for for a track worthy suspension, (the Nismo S-tunes prolly didn't cut it for you).
What reservations do you have with a more agressive suspension setup like from JIC? Aren't they set up more for track use than the other suspensions? I was just wondering what brands would be more apt for track use since I am looking for a new suspension setup for my 240sx that would cut it for track, auto-x, and drift events.

I haven't heard anything about the R-Tunes. Why not just get the Ohlins suspension, they build them for Nismo anyways. I'm not sure if the Ohlins would be considered R-Tune though...the ones I've seen for the Z33 don't include the external reservoir like the R-34 GT-R Nismo/Ohlins coilovers (that may not be something they want for the Z anyways). Ohlins USA doesn't import the Z33 suspension but they told me they could build a custom race setup much like the Motons or Penskes...speaking of, what happened to the Motons?

Since it's too early for Steve to reply, I'd guess that the Motons at 10% the cost of his future Lotus, his Moton fund has been spent!


BTW Steve....you're going to LOVE Elise! S2K's for lunch! AND, I'll bet most Vipers too. Go David!
