400HP,

As usual with most coil-overs they come in variety of different types from stiff to very stiff, and some with bound and rebound adjustment. They use these on V8 supercars and other high performance racers. They are extremely well made, but just buy them for a purpose, not just to lower the car.

I have full racing coil-overs in mine, which are very stiff on the road, but excellent at high speed cornering.

See'ya :burnout:

I have a set on my 'line. I personally think they are awesome. Not harsh kidneybelt material. I haven't tried them on the track - a few more mods before I head down that street, so to speak. Roadholding is excellent, height adjustable via a circlip type setup, adjust in about 5mm increments (I haven't acutally measured them). There is a damper adjustment on the rears -mine is set to four for general street driving and that seems to work fine. I do believe that they are a bit rare on street cars 'cause new they are around 1g a corner, though I got mine alot cheaper second hand. To sum up, I am very, very happy

I'm sorry, I dont know what model they are. I got mine for $1300 in what can only be described as excellent condition - bought them through a tuning shop but that price was alot cheaper than normal 'cos I have been dealing with them for a while. Another thing with Ohlins is that they can be rebuilt in Aust, so it might be worth checking out how much for a full rebuild, as you can pick up Ohlins for alot less than what I paid. I have seen examples for as little as $900 in the for sale section on this site.

Edit: try www.ohlins.com

      33 GTR Broken front wheel knuckle

      By R32 TT · Posted

      Just had this happen to me too.  R32 GTR.   Also broke "just before going out onto the track" - someone up there is looking out for us... Very scary since I was about to do a narrow street course with zero run-off and curbs everywhere. Many people on here upgrading to billet uprights and R35 bearings?   Or buying new OEM knuckles?  I am not keen to replace with another s/h 30 year old fatigued part.

      Coolant leak?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Top off with distilled water and see what happens. If you keep losing coolant then you know to start looking.

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win?

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
