hey guys- im new on here and to the skyline scene

i inherited my r33 skyline gtst only a week ago, and the suspension has been annoying me.

seems to drive alright, needs work.

my problem is that the coilovers are awful, they make a clunking sound when i go over a bump or uneven surfaces.

on a smooth surface, it doesnt clunk or anything, handles great.

had a look through the mag wheels and saw MDU.. master dampener unit, had a bit of a google and saw that theyre indeed crap coilovers.

so im tryin to find out, how much would i be lookin at the get it removed and perhaps a new set of good coilovers or springs? whatevers more comofortable (as in softness lol)

id like to keep the car nicely lowered on the 19 inch mags its got at the mo.

its got no bodykit btw.

am not looking to use it for drift seein as its a auto. just a crusing round skyline, with maybe a intercooler & exhaust set up.

give me your opinons guys, really need it hey.

thanks >_<

If you want comfort best option would be to source stock suspension but then it won't be a nice ride height anymore.

Best option would be to get aftermarket shocks and springs. A while ago (like before i joined kind of while) sydneykid had a bilstein kit selling in the group buy section have a look at that and get the same stuff he was giving in those would be best option i can think of.

Also i sure hope those 19's aren't super queer

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
