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.!!!! :/

Hey mate ive got the new g4 from just jap there a really good coilover

the car handles so good but they are a hard ride you can get the softer springs from them but as i use the car for drifting they are great

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
