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

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
