http://www.ohlins.com/distributor/gusto-technik-2/

or email the factory in Sweden for your nearest agent.

Yea I asked them they won't do it since it's a Mine's product and not a product directly from Ohlins... Edited by etang789

That sounds like a load of cobblers. My "Nismo" shocks are just rebranded Bilsteins and the local Bilstein dealer services them. Your Ohlins will similarly be rebranded and there is no logical reason why the agents shouldn't service them. Maybe you could try phoning or emailing Mines.

Also email Ohlins head office.

Been down this path with my set, thought that if they bear the Ohlins name they should be serviced as such. No dice. The guys in Melb refuse to touch them and claimed none of the parts are interchangeable while appearing put out by even having to talk about it. Ohlins said they understand but it's not their problem.

So they're Ohlins shocks...except when they're not.

Is it fair to blame Ohlins if their Japanese partner lets them down. JDM specific cars/components are now spread around the world but it would seem Ohlin's Japanese partner is unable to supply their JDM bespoke components to Ohlins global support network?

Ohlins isn't being let down, they are quite ok with the arrangement. Maybe someone else knows more.

That the local agent can't get parts easily or tap into a global network seems to further suggest that Ohlins is taking a 'JDM product for a JDM market' approach.

Give these places a call:

Fulcrum

MCA

Supashock

All of them are big shops and should be capable of doing it. And, while doing one - do them all or at least the sister side to the blown one. Otherwise they'll not be even, and likely if one is gone another isn't far behind making it $$$$ in freight and assache.

I have found a place that would service my set of Mine's Ohlins, but they said since the parts are obsolete they have to custom make or order parts that would take longer and more expensive. So at the end it would cost me a lot to service the whole set. Plus its not local, with shipping I think I'm better off getting a new set of Ohlins DFV.

Thanks!

I will give these guys a call see if they have better pricing.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
