Hey guys,

Just wondering does anyone have a set of those d2 coilovers from just jap in their car? Anyone got any thoughts on them. obviously for the price they will not be the best coil overs around but im just curious are the spring rates etc ok for street, Without having to install new kidney's i mean...... :(

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"

Thanks for the feedback guys... I will mainly be using them for street with a couple of track days a year thrown in for good measure. Anyone checked out the g4s?????? They look ok to but but would be cool if anyone has any in a car!!!!

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

    • 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.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
