Hey guys thought i'd tap into the vast knowledge on anything skyline and get some info. At the moment im close to the $2500 needed for my new bodykit however im now thinking i'll save that little bit longer and get coilovers at the same time so it looks even meaner.

My car is a 1994 R33 GTS, no NA jokes im on my P's and therefore i'm happy with my lil GTS. In 3yrs i'll drop somethin nicer in the bay or just buy a GTS-T... but anyway what's everyones thoughts on coilovers. I don't want to spend a fortune as i'm not a serious racer but I am keen to hit up some track days down the road. What kinda price range would I be lookin at for a mid budget coilovers?

Also what brands do you all recommend and who should I steer clear of. Theres a few on ebay that look the part but im cautious bout buyin anything off ebay as I don't have the knowledge to know what i'm looking it.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in Advance. Pez.

My friend has ISC Coilvers in his R32 GT-R VSpec II, i went for a drive in it, handles absolutley beautiful, and I also plan to purchase some ISC Coilovers off Ryan in the near future. (When Kevin gives me $900). I've got nothing but good things to say, and you can choose your own spring rates.

i was weighing this up just a few weeks ago. there are heaps of threads around, do a search for tein and greddy type s.

tein super sports are on the cheaper end and you will read not as good and the more expensive ones, but pretty popular. there is a good thread

around explaining the difference between the different types.

i went for greddy type s. height adjustable without compressing the spring. love em so far, the difference over stock is crazy, while

still keeping your eyes in your head.

Three years is a long time who know's what will happen to my humble GTS between now and then. If enough work goes into it i'll drop a new engine in instead of buyin a GTS-T.

Thanks for the replies too guys, not 100% on what i'll get yet but the responses have helped a lot. Im thinkin one of the lower end $1000-1500 ones as they seem to be more street friendly?

do you plan on tracking the car??

have you considered purchasing a lowering kit instead, (lowered shocks and springs)... i know its not the tuners first preferance but if your only guna drive it as a daily its all you will need and you will be saving yourself a grand.

it will look just as good and with the money you saved u can put it toward a gtr ;)

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
