My suspension has a clunking noise when i turn the steering wheel.

my mechanic says its because the 2 springs in the one coilover (1 short hard spring and a second larger softer spring) have come apart.

He suggested pulling the front coilovers out, taking them to east coast suspension and fitting new springs to the old front coilover assemblies.

is this the best idea?

has anyone else dealt with this differently?

i dont want to go through the expense of replacing the whole coilover.

thanks for the help

There is an intermediate, (double sided) spring seat that goes between the main spring and the helper/tender spring. Thye soemtikmes slip out or get damaged. Unlikely to be the springs themsleves, my suggestion is to pop into East Coast and they can quickly tell you what is needed.;)

    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
