out of the cheapies the HSDs are the best but still far from good coilovers.

i would be goin the whiteline/bilstein group buy though. for an extra $150 or so you can get the bilsteins and swaybars, compared to just HSD coilovers.

Edited by salad
bilsteins to expensive d2 are $1320 off my mate same price as HSD or $1720 for tein

Are the aussie teins justas good as jap ones as i remember someone saying they are different for our conditions?

The aussie Tein Super Street's have been revalved and spring rates have been changed. They do feel very good and compliant on the road, adjusted towards the firmer settings is good for track. I run them in mine and my car is very competitive on track.

well G4 cost $1250 group buy

d2 & Ksport 1300 - 1400

hsd $1599 for the HRs

tein $1700

or u can go the for sydneykids suspension setup

id personally save up for the teins or other well known jap brand coilovers as they are the most important part of the cars setup esp for drift

I did this for a magazine article some time ago, the editor hated it because it showed a lot of his advertisers in a bad light. The idea was to take a $1600 coil over kit (not for a Skyline) and break its retail price content down to show what you get for $400 each. Then compare it to a Bilstein, Koni, Whiteline, Kings, combination for $400 per corner

Coil over kit retail price breakdown;

Strut top $60

Bump stop $15

Dust cover $8

Upper spring seat $20

Lower spring seat $15

Threaded sleave/case $30

Spring $80

Shock $172

Total $400

Bilstein, Koni, Whiteline, Kings;

Bump stop $15

Dust cover $8

Spring $80

Shock $297

Total $400

It's easy to see that you get a 75% superior shock value ($172 compared to $297). The cost in a shock is the type of materials used (fairly minor difference) and the valving sophistication (where the real money is spent).

For what you get, Bilsteins are the best value for money.

>_< cheers :happy:

Hmmm

I have been running D2 coilovers in my R33 for over a year now. I have yet to have a problem with. My mate which also has an r33 has been running d2 for about 6months+ also without a problem

I personal thing for the price (i pay $1400 Installed) you cant go wrong...

ohh and i've used my car for a few drift days and found the coilovers to be fine...

i guess somepeople have luck with them and others dont

i ran d2's on my s13 when they first came out in north america. I ran them for a total of 20000km in 1 summer, just commuting from toronto to the lakes, bout 600km per trip. I blew the rears out, the fronts clunked and squeeked, the springs rusted. Utter crap.

You can buy a blown set here for under $400.

That being said, they are re-buildable, A friend of mine replaces the springs with QA1 springs, and have the dampeners rebuilt and nobody has had a problem with the rebuilt ones.

For the price of a new set 1200cad now, megan racing makes a better coilover for the same price...i've been told Megan is your BC coilovers.

back to the teins.... the aussies superstreet how do tehy go?

I have aussie super street on my R33 GTS-T S2. They are very comfortable on soft setting for the street. When it goes out on the track i set it firmer (I also have the EDFC) and it is very good. i am consistently 1st or 2nd against other cars with more horsepower. It also depends on what you want to do. If your planning on drifting, Aussie Super Streets are probably not your best option.

If your after a good and reputable brand of suspension you cant go past Tein. I have seen D2's mountings break whilst drifting seals leak etc and in general they are pretty looking cheap Chinese/Taiwanese product mass produced on a small budget for a big gain.

Why not spend the little extra and get a good quality set of Teins. If your interested PM me for a good price!

    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
