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.

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
