When I played Tekkit, nano armor would not let you get hurt as long as it was fully charged. Now, that doesn't seem to be the case. Anyway, I am planning to go to the Twilight Forest soon and I was wondering what kind of armor I should wear because I don't have Quantum yet.

nano has been capped at 90% reduction, that's why you notice that you take some damage.
So, in order from the top
Quantum armor > nano armor > exo suit with full diamond > diamond suit with longfall boots > regular diamond > thaumium > blood iron> steel > steelleaf > naga scale > iron > biohazard suit (full suit only) > ironwood > gold > leather.
If you can make longfall, make them no matter what else you wear.
This list assumes the ability to put an enchant on the armor.
Without enchanting the list changes some.
The result can be argued to be different by others.

no matter how much armoUr protection it offers, nothing can match the swag of my pink leather boots!
Nano boots will absorb the fall damage up to a certain point, and then you will take damage and the boots will lose a lot of energy.
Be careful in the Twilight Forest, even with quantum armor. For some reason, and I dunno if this is just me or what, the Twilight Lich can bypass some, perhaps all, of the armor's protections. I've had full quantum armor, fully charged, and still almost got killed with ridiculous ease. I can fall a mile in that suit, but I can't seem to take a few magical explosions to the face...I do not get it.
That's not how nano works. You can wear part of a nano suit, and it works fine, for what armor rating you get from what's left, like when wearing Vanilla armor. It's just a really high protection armor, that can be recharged. Nano has no "techno-magical" protections like Quantum, excepting it has a very high upper limit for falling damage if you wear the boots. They're not invincible (like Long Falls or Q Boots), but they do take almost all damage from falling.
Nano Armor has not been nerfed, protection-wise, but it has been nerfed since the version in Tekkit power-wise. Nano Armor now takes 800 EU worth of "damage" per hit. I believe back in the IC2 version in Tekkit, it was around 100. You still can swim in lava, but your batteries will give out much faster, at which point, you will become a crispy Steve.
That's because of the jetpack. It has no armor value. You're effectively walking around in Iron armor, plus flight and greatly reduced fall damage. Most of the protection of the tech armors are built in to the chest-pieces. The Nano Chest is worth 35% armor value, and the Q Chest is worth 45%. In fact, wearing Nano Boots, Legs, and a Helm with a Q Chest will make you invincible (100% armor), just like the full Q Suit.
It can also depend on how the server you are playing on is setup. I've played on some servers where the admins got "creative" and messed up the settings and broke the nano and quantum suits so they gave 0 protection whether they had power or not. Whether this was intentional or not I do not know, but the tech armours were rendered useless. Well, the gravi chest was a nice combination of jet pack and batpack but crap armour and bloody expensive.
Ah, well looks like a gravitation suit just climbed it's way to the top of my to-do list.
