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

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
