Sorry to inturrupt guys but i have got g4 coilovers in my R33 and they need to be done so would i be correct in guessing the same info applies? And also what is a softish spring rate to run??? Bought the car for my girl but ride is crazy hard.

the info in this thread isnt that old so should be relative.....generally 8Kg fronts and 6kg rears are a good softish spring rate to go for....it really depends on how your damper settings are setup.....to stiff you will get a rock hard ride and then too soft can be bouncy.....roughly somewhere in the middle should be ok :blink:

Well i just got off the phone with car torque and pedder's on marion rd and they are no go option.. car torque sends coilovers to fulcrum for a quote and an opinion whether coils can be rebuilt or not and just for that u gotta pay freight about $40 to be sent to fulcrum and $40 to be sent back.. And pedder's well,they said they dont do it and dont know who does it here in adelaide... sad.gif

yeah i believe there used to be a bloke at Pedders who did it for them, but he may have since moved on. Why dont you ring Fulcrum up and see if you can get cheaper freight direct through them?

Im not that keen to send them interstate. I got in contact with Jarrod and he said that he moved on (i think he worked for pedder's) but he does sell kit to repair yourself,and he said its preety straight forward to do it and takes couple hrs to do set of 4 :) so might try that...

why may i ask? it wouldn't cost that much i think i just sent some to Sydney and it cost $32 for the whole set

if your worried about the incompetence of our Postal worked insure them for $2500 that will ensure they either look after them or if they do loose them (you can only hope) you will be fully reimbursed

i had that happen with a brand new $800 gfx card that they lost and i was sending it back for RMA

Cz i spoke to someone from car torque and i asked if they can tell me how much would cost for freight to fulcrum and repair etc. he said hes not sure and price may warry depending on whats wrong with coilovers. I just dont want everything to adds up and to comes up to price where ill be better off getting new coils... but i guess if i ring fulcrum like Damo_R34 said or even this guy Murray and talk to them then ill have better idea what to do :)

      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.
