Have you seen their new G4 coilovers for $1399? Similar to D2 with different rate springs available.

Check the business traders section

Thanks blitz will have to check em out.

Hey scary32 you in sydney????? going to any of the track days or cruises soon? It would be cool to check a set out on a car before i bought anything. Dont have the dollars yet anyway but always researching the next mod!!!! :(

I've got a set in my Silvia and they are so much better than stock suspension. Car sits nice and flat through the corners and feels sharper. For me it was a good choice.

The D2s come in different sprin rates and different oil/gas and valving setups for Street, Track, Drift and Rally... I went with the streets and went 2kg lighter than the "standard" because NQ roads are not the best in some places... You would probably go harder springs and the correct type if you were going to use them for drift/circuit or rally (probably not in an skylines...).

Have a chat to your provider and they will get you the right stuff. Or have a look at the D2 website for all the details so you know what is available and what they say is standard for your car.

Cheers

Adrian

PS. Mine took about 500km to run in nicely. Before that they felt very hard and bouncy. Afterwards they were/are great.

Are D2 a well established brand?

They sponsor the CLK-GTR LM race car:

From this sponsorship I always thought they were some high end Euro brand but these cheap coilovers seem to belie this theory.

coilovers eliminate some body body roll, camber/damper/highett, none of which kingsprings on a stock strut can do.

when i got some it got rid of alomost %50 of body roll. but if you arent going to the track or anything like that i dont see the point why you need them other than to say "hey look i have coilovers"

3 things:

1. that photo is around 10 years old.

2. it's not the same D2.

3. from memory D2 Privat is a german phone company... i think.

Some clarification;

1 Body roll should be controlled with the anti roll (stabiliser) bars, springs are there to hold the car up and absorb bumps. If you have a spring rate high enough to limit the roll substantially, it will be too high to absorb the bumps.

2. On a double wishbone car (like R32/33/34 Skylines) camber is adjusted via the control arms, not the shock/spring unit.

3. You can buy the Kings/Whiteline etc springs in the correct height

4. The Bilstein shocks in the Group Buy come with additional circlip grooves so that you can further fine tune the height.

5. R32/33/34 Skylines come with coil overs standard (the coil spring is located around the shock absorber, hence coil over)

Check out the Group Buy thread for more details, and some feedback from the 50 or so guys that have bought kits.

:happy: cheers :P

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
