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 :)

      When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?

      We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.

      No, you're wrong, and you've always been wrong about this. The Nismo has 2 sets of openings. One is a real 2-way, and the other is a 1-way. There is no 1.5-way possible with the ramps that they offer. A real 1.5-way does exist. That Cusco stuff I posted is a prime example. If the forward drive ramps are, say 55°, and the overrun ramps are, say, 30°, then you will get about half as much LSD effect on overrun than you do on drive. It is real, it realy works. OK, you're slightly right. The Nismo has 55° and 45° ramps on the 2-way, so it does offer less LSD effect on overrun. But, I think that just means that they've (probably) sensibly established that you do not want actually equal LSD effect on overrun. You just want "quite a lot, but not quite as much as the drive LSD effect".
