Ok as mentioned in the topic i want to get some coilovers soon but there is a problem..there is so much choice for the amount of money i am looking at spending.

I have a budget of say up to 1400 maaxx prefer a little less but of course will pay a bit more if there is a point. So i have looked at d2, BC, g4? second hand cusco (i had cusco adj coils in my other r33 and they where stiff as hell) the g4s where lik 1399$ which was teh most and the bcs and d2s where around 1000$

so what why should i go? are there any others out there that suit my budget. Car is a 96 gtst.

Cheers!!

if you're looking for quality AND value for money, you could consider the HSD coilovers priced from $1330. HSD coilovers were used on Darren Appletons winning car in the 2005 Drift Australia series.

i think you need to be more specific man... ie.. are you using the car on the track/street/drag/ etc. are you after comfort/ultra low... height/dampening. etc. i'd save up a bit more dosh and go for the aus spec teins. there a great all round coilover, comfort, but still handle. you can get em from fulcrum anywhere., probably other places too. i've driven a car with hsd's, there good cheap suspension too.

I'm getting some Tein SS from Nengun in the next couple of months. They offer a really good price and the Tein SS are perfect for street driving. Do a lot of research and match the suspension to your application.

I've currently got d2 in my r33, they are bumpy but for the price i pay they are a good entry level coilover (i have the track spec ones)

I have done drift practices, mc days and a few other sprint days; and found the car to handle pretty good. Im about to upgrade to Tein Circuit Master Type RS, as im looking to get more hardcore about my track time

I think you will find most china spec entry level coilovers will be pretty similar if not the same (they are all pretty much made in the same factory). Most people comment on how bumpy and hard the ride is for j-spec coilovers (hks,tein, trust etc etc) but i think it something you just get uses too and if the coilover is of good quality the damper adjustment should help to reduce the hardness of the ride

D2 and G4 are essentially the same units just rebadged and different colours. They are cheaper entry level units and the spring rates are a bit on the hard side for the road. I've stuck with my d2's now for a while but I have down rated my spring rates and they are better now. If you could afford it I would go witth Tein ss or the whiteline kits.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?

      Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed

      Looking for someone with a R34 front bar

      By DraftySquash · Posted

      hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me

      Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
