I have a set of coilovers on my car and im thinking about ripping them out and selling them because they are too bumpy for my liking (everyday driving). I have no idea what the spring rates are (they came on the car when i bought it) so who could i see about this. Also does anyone have any idea how much s/hand coilovers go for ? All i know is that they are Kei Office. I can take some pics later on.

Another thing...when u throw it hard in second...the ass ends up in the lane next to me...VERY tail happy so im assuming they are awsome for drifting >_< ?

Any help ?

Thanks !

did u get the adjuster things to change the damper

maybe changing this might make them better

i know my coil overs are very good

Yeh damper can be changed, im just not sure if i want coilovers any more or not. I really like how it GLUES the car to the road in the corners while going for a drive in the hills, and really, they are awesome, nothing wrong with them...but i don't know...at this stage im thinking of building a more comfortable car rather then a race/track car.

Well I'm in the same boat as Kisin. My car came with Tein HR's which are too harsh for what I use the car for. As such I'm selling mine, and am looking at around $850 as I have a set of C spanners to go with them to adjust the height (spanners go for $50-70 normally).

So Kisin I would suggest starting at around $800 like I am and see if they sell. Most importers ask between 750-950 depending on condition I believe, so Im startin in the middle of that.

chances are the spring rates are way high. As sk says your car is probably skipping over bumps instead of having the shocks absorb them. Thats why yer arse is trying to overtake u.

Fit up a set of Bilstein with matched springs, and u will find better performance with better ride. They are an excellent shock for performance and dont give the rim shattering hit over bumps.

Price of your Kei office ones, depends on a few things - condition, pics (cos we all like piccies) and how much they are worth to you. If u want to get rid of em, dont hold out for a gold bar :)

hey adam he has a R34GTT i dont think hell want the 33gtst stock suspension.

adam, quick tip make sure whatever coilovers you buy are rebuildable, as second hand ones may be close to stuffed in alot of cases (not saying that KISIN has stuffed ones, they sound awesome.).

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      By Duncan · Posted

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
