Hi,

Just bought myself a set of used Apexi Coilover, always a catch,

on the passenger rear side suspension, making squeaky noise, sound like something rubing against it, metal to metal.

its sound exactly like when u jump up and down on a springs bed (hope it describes better). made noise when driving or stand still and u push against it.

Does it means its on its way out?

3 of 4 shocks was fine, no noise.

problems after problems, feeeling so low.....

any one have any ideas?

thanks.

I *think* i have the same noise as you... almost like a scunching sound? except I have stock damper and spring setups, and it's on all four corners, the sound has only come out recently, and it's only heard when it's under a fair bit of load, like speed humps, coming in and out of my driveway (over a smooth curby type thing) and taking round abouts with a little bit of speed....

I can't tell any handling differences as such, at least from general lowspeed manouvering on the steet (apart from this noise of course)

does anybody know what this is?

the noise only come from 1 coilover, so i thought something is wrong.

performance wise, cant tell, but its quite annoying!!!

though mines squeaks on un even roads as well.

guess that is why its cheaper than NEW!!! ;p

tried to spray wd40? lol, onto the top rubbber mount, but NOPE, noise still there.

probly will try to swap to its original spring,

see if it goes away,

the previous owner reckon the Apexi spring is bit harsh for the road, so he replaced it with a softer springs for the rear.

Its not too bad, noise will go away if window is down. But am chasing for perfections!!!

:)

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
