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!!!

      Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?

      Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...

      You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.
