Hi

Just wanted to get a general feel for anyone who has coilovers in their R34 GTT or R33 GTST?

1)What brand and model are they?

2)What are the spring rates?

3)Are they noisy?

4)Is it a comfortable ride?

5)Hows the handling of the car?

6)How old are they and are they in need of repair or rebuild?

Thanks all! any help at all is much appreciated!

Ive got coilovers in the R33 GTST.

1) Apexi N1 Damper series or something

2) Couldnt tell ya as they came in the car, but they're friggin stiff, teeth shattering.

3) Nope

4) I wouldnt say its an uncomfortable ride because here in canberra the roads are friggin awesome, so its smooth.

5) Awesome!

6) Who knows? I think the owner in Japan installed them (for a pretty penny, apparently they are expensive.... anyone have an idea how much they would be? i'm interested to learn).

Sorry i couldnt be much help, they came in the car so im pretty clueless about the details.

Same, Got a 2nd hand Apexi Coilover R33 GTS T

- Apexi N1 damper, Type V height and damper adjustable.

- Spring rate is 360, but my rear springs has been replaced to softer springs to 290.

- No noise from 3, but bit of noise from 1 rear. Bearable. I think its aging

- Comfortable? depends how u set it?

- Handling is improved by far, conerning is much more stable.

- When bought, was told its in the car for less than 5000km, I think it still a long way for a rebuild, should last another 50000kms, I hope SOO.!!!! :/

      My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By pacman_1219 · Posted

      Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
