Normally you would set up the front suspension damping, and then use the adjustments on the rear shock bump setting to vary the amount of oversteer you get. If the car is set up properly, you should be able to make very fine adjustments. The ideal is small amounts of initial understeer on turn in, transitioning to slight roll over steer as the car starts to corner hard. If you have to adjust the car two or three times to get the front right that isn't too much trouble as it only takes an hour or two to remove the struts and replace them. Once they are set you will not need to vary them, unless for wet tracks, changing tyre types or stabilisers. My two cents worth. Cheers Feral Errol

Hi Cam, a mate of mine just HAD to have externally adjustable konis (more for pose value :) and so they modded a 300zx pair to suit. So if you really want externally adjustability you can, as he and Mark found. How often are you actually gonna adjust them though? Although I have meant to, I know I have never touched mine :) So if you stick with the koni reds in the front, I would start with the "softest" setting as that way if they are not to your liking you have plenty of adjustment for increasing firmness. As I recall they are pretty hard even at their softest setting :) Andrew > Cam, > > You should be able to get externally adjustable Koni's to suit > your Datto.

If you are considering doing this then I'd strongly recom mend that if it is possible that you get the car inspected in NSW before you buy or make it a condi tion of sale. A mate of mine had more hassles than you could imagine re-regoing his own car (modifi ed FC V8 Wagon) that is show quality and fully engineered (one of the most comprehensive reports i' ve ever seen) and regoed in his name in Vic. He got transferred in his job to the ACT - the items t hat the car didn't comply with here was astounding but they let him still drive it on a restricted permit as he engaged a local engineer who supplied a letter of intent to rectify which was the only decent part of his ordeal. He would have spent in the vicinity of $2000 just to get it regoed in t he ACT which he was prepared to do, but if you add this sort of money onto the purchase price of a modified car it hurts a bit. > > regards > Terry > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Mark Alford > Sent: Wednesday, 9 January 2002 3:25 PM > To: Ozdat discussion list > Subject: Registration > > > Has anyone in NSW bought a car from interstate and then tried to get it registered in NSW? > > If so, have you had any problems with this - especially imports and modified cars. > > Mark. > > > --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------ - > OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- > Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > No unauthorised redistribution of this email > http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm > http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html > http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ > -------------------------------------------------------------------- - > > --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- > OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- > Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > No unauthorised redistribution of this email > http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm > http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html > http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > > --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- > OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- > Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > No unauthorised redistribution of this email > http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm > http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html > http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
