Ohlins

[Luke_ENR34]

Hey guys,

just wondering who I can buy ohlins from? There going in my circuit/time attack car and can't find anyone who can get them. Really want all the remote oil canistors etc.

To suit bnr34

Cheers Luke.

Steve Cramer Products are the local Ohlins dealer.

Saw that, might have to give him a call.

At this stage it looks like he only deals with bikes and motorcycles.

saw a new set of flag-r's on import monster the other day, only went for about $4k

O F*ck thats what i want.

[pistol-pete]

Yeah I was so tempted by the sweetness of the deal but really don't have a use for them atm

Are you set on Ohlins or have you considered other options... i.e. Bilsteins. I have a set of PSS9's at the moment, I can not wait to fit some better springs and crank the damper up a bit to hit the track!

[Luke_ENR34]

Really want a more track coilover where the ps999 is more of a street/ light track work shock.

Cheers anyways.

What's your budget? Either 50mm or 60mm DMS are as track orientated as you'll get. The 3/5/6 way adjustable 60mm DMS is about $7475 for the full car set.

If its real race öhlins you are after i would contact ohlins sweden directly and ask for their opinion.

Cheers guys.

Found out the best price i can get from Japan for the Flag-R is roughly $6400 del

Which isnt to bad. Something alittle cheaper would be better tho.

Cheers Luke

You could try Jesse Streeter, see sig, I used him to import Enkei rims and he imports just about anything at a very reasonable price.

If you want something with the remote oil canistor. also check out Tein or nismo

Nismo; they are Ohlins with nismo custom springs

Tein: Circuit Master : Super Racing

http://www.tein.co.jp/e/products/super_racing.html

I run the Tein in my R33 track car and they are extremely good, i think it is 30x30 adjustable (30 rebound, 30 damper) so total of 900 adjustments. However remember with alot of adjustment it means alot of track time to tune them correctly, and i have yet to find anyone that can setup these coilovers. So you will be basically on a guess and check method at the track which is very time consuming and can be costly.

Also as mention above contact Jesse and he will get you a quote direct from Ohlins in japan which i am guessing will be cheaper than the 6k quote.

Ohline DFV retail around the 2.5k mark in japan.

Quantum is another brand to check out also

They are a European brand (make suspension for ferrari etc) but also deal with jdm cars

Cheers guys. I'll look into those when I'm home from work later today. If I remember the quantum's have extremly high spring rates that would be shocking for our bumpy track here.

The quote on the ohlins came from Jesse, just the shocking exchange rate is killing me.
