Glad to see you back. Could you make a mount with the cable connector coming straight out of the front? That would keep the cable low in the car and keep your elbow from bumping it. Just a thought. Your content is some of the best on UA-cam. Thank you. By the way, the best part of the video was your precious daughter wandering through.
Thanks for the feedback! I will move the connector around to the side someone to make it look better and better routing. Distance wise it’s far from the where your elbow would reach. Agree completely on the best part being our princess. She’s a future UA-camr!
Reservoir mounts: I would center them to be able to top them up and set the valve from either side of the car. I.e. the back ones between the seats and front ones on the fuel cell
Late to the party but why not mount the front remote damper on the portion of cage near the shock towers? Love the channel! A BMW guy myself but am cut from the same 'do it myself' cloth, and have been really getting into the engineering of the 964 lately
I would redesign the center green mount again so the round connector gies out the passenger side instead if out the top. This way your wire os not sticking up in the are and can be mounted to the shifter channel. I know you like things clean!
When you watch ricards minty video for the Xth time because there are few cool 964 vids out there and then a Jonas vid pops up! Cool, first drive is in sight!
also slim fit looks to be the better fit position. But the clamps look like they could be an issue over time when taking G's,etc. Can't you make the cage side like a clamp (what you have done) but the reservoir side like the first mount (closed bolted loop, you don't have to bolt on both sides like the first variant you mande, you can just ad a bolt transversally on the end of the '8'). At the end it looks like a '8' sliced up vertically and bolted together in the middle and in the bottom end. Just a though to get the best of both solutions.
First drive is getting closer. Just a few more big stones to turn… I’ll have a look at your suggestion on the clams and see what I can make out of it 👍🏻
JRZ ser verkligen intressanta ut. Tänkte på ett par saker i din installation av behållarna. Bak: sätt dem lågt och givetvis tillgängliga för justering. Såg på andra installationer av behållare och alla kör bara med EN fastsättning, borde inte det räcka? Fram: sätt dem så långt bak du kan och lågt också för rätt fördelning. Lycka till.
Det fungerar absolut med en hållare. I mitt fall är de dock gjorda i plast och jag ville finns ett sätt att låsa den mekaniskt utan att klämma hårt. Det finns två fina slitsar på sidorna att göra det med 👍🏻
The adjusters on the canister are high and low speed compression only. Rebound is electronically controlled. External reservoirs generally have very little oil in them. The heat generated from the divider piston is usually the reasoning for separating them remotely. Option 2.
Option 2 for the rear is the best for attaching to the reservoir using the groves, it's best not to restrict the movement of the piston in it, I found that out with my Penske shocks.
Wow your car build is really coming together now, i can't wait to see the finished product! Starting to think about doing a road trip to Sweden to do a track day and to see it in the flesh once it's complete!
Just a comment on the suspension front wiring round connector, design a new tray mounting it turned through 90’, it will match the read console wiring connector and not be in the way of your elbow 👍
Agreed. Or would it possible to make connector out on the front right side facing forwards, that way the wire loom has a straight shot along the side of the trans tunnel. Do the same for the read console too. The wires could be clamped down using nutserts and rubber clamps, Project Binky style.
@@islandworks to add on to this, the circular connector ideally shouldn't be mounted like that, where you would need to de-pin the connector to separate the connector and the wires to remove it
I've been following the build for quite a while and I admire the effort you put into documenting the build itself and explaining everything in such detail! Quick question. Did the VCU come along with the suspension package or purchased separately? If so what's the manufacturer? Thanks!
Did you consider the Tractive Suspension solution which is also active with both pre-configured and custom setups that can adjusted on the fly? Or is the JRZ setup superior/better suit your needs? I love the attention to details and the focus on making handling, braking and balance as good as possible.
A little bit of OCD tendencies helps any project forward!

No weight saving? ;) Why not place the circular connector on the green plastic thingy on the side like for the unit in front instead of on the top? That enables the cables to be tucked away a bit nicer (in my opinion) Reservoirs in the back, put them high if you want to show them off else I would place them low so they are not distracting/in the way while driving.
I agree on the cables. I should adjust so they’re the same on both, if possible to fit. It’s a challenge designing around things that already exist though 😂 The weight was missed and I’ll have to fix that in a coming episode!
I think the round connector needs to point to passenger side, because your elbow will hit it everytime. I would also like to see third hook shape in the print that first ties the rear end to the big round hole, and then you bolt it in at the front.
I was looking at the hook part and think I will actually put a small thread insert instead. No worries with the elbow, it is a good distance in between. It would look better with side exit though!
Can your dampers be set proactively with GPS, for instance? To stiffen the front right before your braking point, stiffen the outside wheels right before turning point, etc. ?
It’s possible, but not something included in the system I have. I know one of the super cars had something like that but removed it for serious lap-record attempts so that the car behaved more consistent.
I kind a miss the weight comparison of the old / new shocks. For the electric installation. I would go with the new ones toward the driver too. Just like with the previous Module. As allways, nice work.
Front one on the back! Lower center of mass and better weight distribution. But hey... what about the weight delta between the old and new suspension? ;)
Don‘t know if somebody mentioned before: it‘s not the Nueremburg or Nürnberg ring. It is the Nürburgring. It ist located far far away from the city of Nürnberg and has nothing to do with it.
That is nice, very nice !
How come you only have 6.15k followers ?! You deserve wayyyyy more !
You're doing a fantastic job
Thank you for your kind words! I would be happy to have more followers if I could only find them 😂
Awesome system. Love your brackets. Make the all red!
serious lightweight project & we are proud to be on board! ⚡💙🏁
Liking you shock/damper setup
Can you have an episode teach the audience about your method of 3D printing and rapid prototyping.
That’s a good idea and perhaps something people would appreciate!
I am amazed how you do all this work ,thanks for videos.
It’s a great hobby!
I would mount the reservoir on the cross design in the frunk
It’s a good position. I’ll check it out once I get my strut brace.
Finally a new episode! Since it took so long for this episode to be published, I had to re-watch most of the previous ones :)
Great with a bit of an update!
Let's hope that your house projects start to come to an end, so we can see more videos of the progress on the car.
I’ve seen the reservoir mounted horizontally to the cross brace in the frunk.
That’s another good way!
That's what I was thinking would look best. Tho he does have the harness straps on on the driver side to contend with.
Slim fit for the win and keeps C of G down as low as possible.
Great update, such high quality. Always happy to see a new video.
Thanks! Happy to get some time in the garage again!
Welcome back!

Nice job. Like the approche. It looks proffesional
It’s a func process working my way through the pieces one by one
Good to see you back again! And your daughter too. She is so cute!
She’s magic!
I would redesign the center green mount again so the round connector gies out the passenger side instead if out the top. This way your wire os not sticking up in the are and can be mounted to the shifter channel. I know you like things clean!
Imo, as low and closest to center of wheel base/width to help with low center of gravity and yaw respectively. Keep up the great work!
That’s a good point! Thanks for the feedback!
Fantastic progress.

You mean due to risk of squeezing it so the piston binds?
@@islandworks Yes, I had mounted them with aluminum clamps and when they got hot and expanded the piston was not able to travel the whole length.
Wow your car build is really coming together now, i can't wait to see the finished product! Starting to think about doing a road trip to Sweden to do a track day and to see it in the flesh once it's complete!
Sweden is a great place in the summer! The 964 tribe hangout is coming next year as well!
Just a comment on the suspension front wiring round connector, design a new tray mounting it turned through 90’, it will match the read console wiring connector and not be in the way of your elbow 👍
I will do another round of design around it so it looks the same and consistent. It’s far away from the elbow, but would look better 👍🏻

@@2of2DCH That would be my favorite solution. Clean look, no ugly wire loops in the air. Rugged connector but loose cabling doesn't got together well.
Came to say the same, much better to drop down the side of the tunnel.
@@islandworks to add on to this, the circular connector ideally shouldn't be mounted like that, where you would need to de-pin the connector to separate the connector and the wires to remove it
great video and great to share this , looking forward to some road test ride videos !!
Yes Jonte! Engine time!!! :)
It’s the favorite part of the car!

The weight was missed and I’ll have to fix that in a coming episode!
I vote for the second option. (the horizontal one)
Beautiful work!
Thanks!
Option 2 is lower so better.
Also get a smaller external diameter washer at the bottom of that strut. Could save at least a gram!
I think the round connector needs to point to passenger side, because your elbow will hit it everytime. I would also like to see third hook shape in the print that first ties the rear end to the big round hole, and then you bolt it in at the front.
I was looking at the hook part and think I will actually put a small thread insert instead.
No worries with the elbow, it is a good distance in between. It would look better with side exit though!
@@islandworks Threaded inserts are great. I suggest Rutrex, has worked great with ASA in the BMW aftermarket-parts I manufacture.
Can your dampers be set proactively with GPS, for instance? To stiffen the front right before your braking point, stiffen the outside wheels right before turning point, etc. ?
It’s possible, but not something included in the system I have. I know one of the super cars had something like that but removed it for serious lap-record attempts so that the car behaved more consistent.
Will you be using a front strut brace? Could be a cool way to mount the front reservoirs.
The strut brace is a great option 👍🏻
Perkele snyggt, igen!
Option 2 in the back and if you get a cross brace in the front, that´ll do the job horizontally IMO.
Option 2 seems to be a popular one. The strut mount is a good option as well!
Awesome as always !
I kind a miss the weight comparison of the old / new shocks. For the electric installation. I would go with the new ones toward the driver too. Just like with the previous Module. As allways, nice work.
I’m sorry I missed the weighing! I will make that up in a future episode!
Won't your elbow hit the newly added circular connector? I imagine it will stick up quite bit..or maybe it is a perspective thing, it looks so close..
As for Filament for 3d printing your brackets how about Polymaker PA6-CF or PA12-CF ?
I use one called AddNorth Adura X. It’s a great Nylon CF version that I use a lot
Front one on the back! Lower center of mass and better weight distribution. But hey... what about the weight delta between the old and new suspension? ;)
I can’t believe I missed doing “scoring time” this time… I’ll fix that going forward!
Won’t the cables coming from that round connector look out of place and untidy?
In the end I moved it to the side. That will be better I think
How come there is no mention of this active JRZ stuff anywhere else on the internet.
It’s very new and not out yet.
it's cause they illegally stole/copied it.
A month later ! Any new vids coming ?
More coming very soon!
What does a suspension setup like that cost?
I don’t dare to mention it here with my better half reading these comments…😇
@@islandworks ooopppss 😄😉😄 enough said...
Don‘t know if somebody mentioned before: it‘s not the Nueremburg or Nürnberg ring. It is the Nürburgring. It ist located far far away from the city of Nürnberg and has nothing to do with it.
Easy mistake, tough drive back!
Slim fit!
what the cost of these shocks? do you sell them ?
They are available from JRZ
👍🏻
if at some point you decide to test it at the Green Hell, PLEASE don't go to Nurnberg Ring it's 400km past the place you want to go (Nurburgring), lol
A space in the wrong place can have unintended consequences 😂
thought you disappeared.
Haha no chance!
I wouldn’t call a fetish, more a Healty Obsession. That gives me an idea for a channel -H.O.M. 💁♂️
I don’t know what it is with those curved round lines… 😎
First
Indeed! ;)
Shouldn't this be on Onlyfans instead?
Hehe I’m not sure I can comment on that!
