Probably going to be getting some.

But I am an amateur when it comes to these things and I been looking on ebay found a set.'

DGR Suspension coilovers $1190.00

And I wouldn't have a clue what they are like.

Tried researching online and there is a little info but not much about this brand.

I just want something that will be good for street driving.

Thanks guys,

Daniel Black R33 Gts-t

Stick with known brands. (think $2k+)

All these stories you hear about how good (insert cheap china brand here) are by people who havent used a good brand/type of shock/spring combo

Have to agree with zebra, unless there's a lot of good feedback on something new, stick with something known. Let someone else do the testing.

wow, we actually agree on something lol

I also add, that magazines like zoom and pi love you use HSD coilovers.....why?

Because Ben Ellis (former editor of PI) runs otomoto, and they are the guys who are the distributors for HSD, so there is a vested intrest.

Note: HSD by all means are a decent unit, but still no where near the quality of a set of Bilstein BSS9's or Aragosta etc, but at 1/4 the price.

Also be wary of any magazine "review" on car stuff, with the laws the way they are, they simply cannot say a product is absolute shit without the risk of being sued for deformation.

Perfect example of rubbish products being reviewed as "good" are the Pro-comp brand of china v8 parts.

In which the aftermarket cylinder heads dont line up properly, the "billet" distributor shafts are bent and snap after a few hours etc.

but these products are often used in "project cars", what they dont say is that they had to try 3 diffent sets of rods and a billion hours of machining to get them to work.

Any way

$3,500k just recently not installed, but with the works!!!

Happy as a pig in the preverbial with em. Bilstien, Eibach Whiteline mix (SK).

If your short on funds then do the BC coilovers for $1200. Good entry level and makes a difference.

IMHO that is.

As a Side note for lulz...when those Pedders coilovers were first released they were $3k.

As soon as word got out that they were rebranded the price halved overnight.

Jason - I would be happy paying 1600 for them, you said yourself they are a decent unit and with the better springs that pedders fit would be quite nice.

And yeah...i will never got to a Pedders workshop....ever

Im really looking around the $1000 - $1500 mark because im not using the car for anything out of the ordinary drive.

Will have to look into BC or pedders

Thanks :)

im running HSD's (HR) in my stagea, very happy. spring rates are abit high for canberra (10/8) but im getting some lower rate springs from otomoto.

from what ive heard in the industry, the pedders gear are re-brand BC's (BR)

And are the BR/BC/Pedders ones decent enough though guys? I hear some good things bout them, and never had issues with pedders equipment before... Sure if wanna spend double the price can get something doubly as good, but for the price, and the difference between the price of standard lowered shocks and spring, these would still be a fair enough upgrade right?

for 1200 bucks you get what you pay for...like I said all the reports of them being REALLY great are by people who have never used anything and have gone from leaky 15 year old standard stuff to new stuff.

I am looking at getting some for the Snoarer, but I dare say I'll end up with a set of $3k+ Tein RA's or Aragosta's etc.

As they say an once of handling is worth a pound of horesepower..But I do like going rediculously fast through corners.

Im sure the BC's are at the better end of the cheap scale (I think that makes sense lol)

But out of them HSD HR's would be my pick for a good budget setup (HSD make OEM shocks for a few car manufacturers)

    • I was using the wiring diagram I have So 12.74V is coming into the rear Fuel Pump relay as I measured.  When I turn the key to ON im getting 0.6V to the Fuel Pump plug; which i assume is backfeed voltage and doesnt include the 12V from ignition power.  The rear relay is working and being triggered.  From the diagram I clearly see the rear relay 80 = Rear Relay going into the Body/H loom (R-27) 27 = Fuel Pump plug going into the Body/H loom (T-20) 40 = Short Connector (R-27) I'm reading 12.74V on the blue/black wire which is the power for the Fuel Pump   From this diagram I can see the Ignition relay goes into the front and up to the ignition  2 = Fuel Pump Relay <1M> (R-27) 37 = ING Relay <1M> I started from the pump using this reference Which the way I read it (referencing Nissan wiring color codes) is: Pin Wire Color Function 1 B/P (Black/Pink) Ground 2 L/W (Blue/White)        ECU Trigger 3 SB (Sky Blue) Fuel Pump 5 L/B (Blue/Black) 12V Constant Tested SB to SB on Fuel Pump for continuity - confirmed Tested negative on Fuel Pump to 12V battery and L/B - confirmed 12V Pulled the relay putting 12V between Pin 1 & 2 and testing continuity on Pin 3 & 4 - confirmed relay   So that has me looking at this part of the circuit to understand whats happening here...and im still confused. From best I can tell; the disconnect is back to my previous diagram; between Ignition Relay and Fuel Pump Relay...which yet again; afaik is where the immobiliser should.    Thats what I was trying to explain to GTSboy; im not trying to fix it myself; yet I seem to have to get a Masters in Electrical Engineering (while im busy doing my actual job of DevOps & Cloud Engineering) somehow.  I just wanted more expert opinions; or more so that what I tested is correct and proves it to something around that area; to go back to the alarm tech (for a 3rd time) that he needs to fix it. He keeps telling me its not the alarm. He lives on the complete other side of the city so i understand not wanting to make a trip but as I said before if its the alarm it should be up to him to fix it. But he's adament its not; even though I pointed out the FP was immobilised through the original alarm. To my mind; it seems that the ECU is sending the signal; but the ignition is not getting 12V down the line.       
    • Maybe also really stiffly sprung track cars. Get the inside wheel up in a corner and all the fun stops. Also me sometimes (rarely) when I have to stand on the brake to convince the diff to drive the wheel that is still on the ground when I'm trying to diagonally get over severe driveway entrance, etc.
    • I feel like I'm missing something. You had an authorised installer come out and install a new alarm. Post install the car doesn't start, and you aren't getting the installer back to fix what they did wrong?
    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'
