Righto SAU,

I currently drove from NQLD down to Ipswich/Brissy. front left suspension is now lower than the right after smashing a pot hole.

after looking at it, i noticed i have MONZA (yes, wtf?) shocks with stock-looking springs.

now, im after a full coil overs for my r33 S2 as my current set up is way toooo rough.

i have been looking at D2, but heard its quite rough.

been looking at buddy club, but never heard of them (mainly because im a ex commodore nut)

also heard the talk about pillow ball mounts? im not a guru in suspension, what is it?

but atm, i have been looking into tein super streets. i know the brand name and im sure you can never go wrong with teins.

can someone point me in the right direction as i just want a nice firm ride, without the harshness of riding as if i riding on a mountain bike with no tyres.

any installers in the ipswich/brissy area? is ozzy tyres ok? or should i go to a more suspension only outlet?

What's your budget??? Anything less than $2.5k and you're FAR better off going to a quality shock (like Bilstein or Koni) and spring setup than getting cheap coilovers.... To get quality you either need something like Tein as Harry said, of for a bit extra something like a 40mm DMS is light years ahead....

i been quoted at 26XX.00 for tein superstreets supplied and fitted.

budget not an issue, saying that, if way over the top, i might as well trade my r33 and get a r34.

but rather keep the r33 as it is a cheaperish option.

still in the search....

great response sau

If budget isn't an issue, then go DMS. For the extra few dollars they will be a BIG step up from Tein...

Their entry level model 40mm is $2989 per car set including springs, freight and GST. 40mm is a combined bump and rebound adjustable model.

The next step up (which is more dedicated track shocks) is the 50mm, and is $3401 per car set including spring freight and GST. 50mm is a separate bump and rebound adjustable shock.

The only thing though with the DMS is that with the Skyline you need to use aftermarket strut tops (can't use standard ones) so you need to allow $250 odd per pair for those.

that is a lot of money for tien SS'... =\

if you are going to spend that much, I would want a hell of a lot better than the rubbish Tien super street.

Get the DMS stuff or the bilstiens!!

    • Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.
    • I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want. 
    • Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue. 
    • Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder
    • Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia front end... *Edit: On closer inspection the test car still had the R32 body, but only the front end had Silvia panels etc.
