i have Apexi spec 2000 coilovers on the car, it seems they rattle as i go over little bumps in the road, or atleast i am assuming it is the coilovers that are rattleing on the rear, its on a R34 gtt, would there be anything else that would cause a rattle sound?

the wheel bearing and arms etc seem to be in good working order.

It will be the springs rattling my Teins do the same in my 34. It is because at the top they sit flat against the top cap without any rubber and even if you have what they call a keeper spring to try keep pressure to stop the rattle they still seem to do it well mine do anyway specially in the rear as there is less weight on them. I was thinking of making up some rubber rings and putting it in there to stop it just havnt gotten around to it. If you find a better way by all means let me know cheers.

Ditto to going crazy with rattle from the rear of R34 gtt. I've got HKS coil overs. I've even taken my gtt to fulcrum suspension with $1000+ in hand asking them to stop the rattle. 1 hour latter the response was "your suspension looks good" ggggrrrrrrr. No money spent but still a rattle.

It's embarrassing to have passengers. Currently only solution is to play stereo louder.

ok, not regarding rattle, but how the f**k do i adjust the height on these!?

i can get all 3 rings loose, can push the 2 top ones up and down to preload the spring. but i cant get the cylinder with thread to budge, i assume that it would spin into the bottom bit thats mounted to the chassis?

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
