Asri,

the Ceffy and the S13 share the same suspension so if you go down to the wreckers in Malaysia just lookout for any suspension that will fit the S13 and you can use that on ure car

personally, I would just use Koni / Bilstein shock absorbers instead of Jap brand coilovers because the roads in Malaysia are terrible lol and you will not be comfortable at all

Keep in mind that the spring rates are different between S13's and cefiros............this is not an issue when fitting coilovers but just be sure to get spring that are stiff enough.

I have never been to malaysia, so i have no idea how bad the roads are........would they seriouly be that terrible running coilovers? I love coilovers and will never go back to lowered springs combos again.

Hi Guys

Do you have any part numbers for the koni's or Bilstein that suits the ceffy? I have been trying to source these for a long time. My previous setup was TEIN coilover but the front was leaking & there isn't any place to get it fixed here in Malaysia. Changed my setup to TEIN S-Tech spring (Medium strength) and standard kayaba absorbers. Handling is way too soft and it is beginning to get weak in damping.

With regards to S13 absorber, they are very short in length and the car will sit too low. We have bumps stops as high as 8"-10" inches and non friendly car parks ramps in our malls.

Appreciate all the guru's advice.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
