Hi Martin,

Im running track spec D2 coilovers in my r33 gts-t, i've had them for almost a year now. I bought them from EVO-R and they come with a full warrenty...

in the begining i had a problem with my rears, due to factory fault. i went back and had them exchange for new items, since then i havnt had any problems at all with them.

I use my car mainly for street, i find that they are alittle on the bumpy side (thou i run them on mid/hard damper setup) But when i take the car to track it handles extremmely good. there was a huge overall improvement in the car :spank:

Hope that helps Michael

I've got the G4 Coilovers in my car, price/performance you can't beat them. They're rebuildable so when they come to the end of thier life, just fix them back up.

I've got the Street Spec ones, and find them pretty hard, I've got them on mid-damper settings. My car only does a few km's a day, but even then sometimes the hardness of them takes it toll on your anal ring over an unexpected bump!

BUT that's the best bit, the car handles BEAUTIFULLY.

I had the wrong shock legs supplied by www.justjap.com (the internally threaded bottom bits if you will) which made the car sit rediculously low on the highest setting. One call to Justjap had them express-post me some new ones to fit immediately! A++ Customer service!

OH, and I fitted them myself too - piece of piss (NB. I had a hoist to use but!)

just took my car over the pits for it wa rego and it was failed cos of the tein c/overs...

"apparently" any c/overs with a bottom adjustable tube (2 lock nuts at the top and another at the base of the tube, see pic) are illegal. I asked why and the reason...

"well mate there isnt a 2nd nut to lock the bottom like there is at the top... vibrations can cause this to come loose and if your strut winds out and goes bang then who knows what might happen"

what BS!!!!! fit them properly and you shouldn't have any issues, but be prepaired to swap them out if you get stickered. I even asked if adding a second nut will pass them but "NUP"!

handy hint... NEVER GO TO WARWICK PITS!!!! :D:):mad:

ya.. if the shock is turning, i think you have more issues to worry about (is it attached to the car to begin with? :D)

it's the same old story, depends where you take it.

my teins have passed over welshpool, but then ive seen people go through welshpool and get knocked back for teins aswell...

personally i wouldnt buy them given the choice.. and they dont make them for bikes :)

back on topic now too...

ive heard lots of good comments on the D2's for the price, you cant go past them.. especially for street use.

i have teins, set to the softest damper front and rear, and i get a constant anal bashing, as kym ever-so-well put it.

hey dudes

i got d2s and they are pretty good and you can dump em pretty low :D

they ride good and they can be stiff and can be soft enuff i recommend em

go see Mao at evo r and grab a set of these wont be disappointed to

mao also does gaurd rolling so u can dump your car

like mikey said the will be gettin a service and rebuild machine soon so u can service the coilovers and change spring rates.

also evo r are the head for D2s so they have all suspension arms available etc etc

cheers

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win?

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      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
