Well i have a33 gtr and the D2 is the best suspension i have ever had .It rides great on the road,and its not rigid and hard when you hit ruts and bumps,it makes my car ride smooth and the corner handleing is outstanding.Then when i do the odd track day ,takes no time at all, to wind them up harder for track use.On this gtr and my other 2 gtst i have used apexi n1,hks hypermax,tein and bilstiens with also trying different spring rates on all,and the D2 have just been a alround better ride.Dont get me wrong the other brands i listed still did the job, but not like the D2 and the price of them is great.

yeh they make them for a 32....$1850 from just jap (sydney)

A little cheaper if you go through Nissan Silvia (http://www.nissansilvia.com/forums/index.p...showtopic=99437). I think they also give SAU NSW club members a discount.

Would love to hear from those who have had Whitelines and/or Bilsteins...

im also interested in this suspension for my r33 gtst, does the package for my car also include camber adjust

R33's are the same as R32's I believe, with double wishbones... a top mount camber slide wont work. Adjustable arms or camber pins are the way. :run:

I got a set in my r33 gts-t, i pay $1400 install :) got 1 year warrerty too,

awsome setup, to adjust the height u dont change the spring rate, but u can adjust the spring rate but only by abit.

Very easy to setup, to adjust the damper you just spin the top left or right, hieght is very easy can do with the front wheels on if you know what your doing

i've heard they can fail when put under extreme abuse. a guy here in canberra just bought them for his s13 silvia and he reckons they're pretty cheap and nasty. said he'd set them up the way he likes them, and after a few weeks they'd behave completely differently!

spose thats why bilstein/dms/etc etc is so expensive. simple laws of economics dictate that you get what you pay for i spose!

Any coilover could fall apart under 'abuse', can you quantify a little? Who told you, and under what circumstances?

Has your friend ever used new coilovers before? Has he adjusted them correctly?

I have a pair on my S13, which I bought about 5000kms ago. When you buy new suspension, the springs will sag a little, and they may need re-adjusting, depending on how much pre-load you place on them.

D2, from what I have been told, have in the last year started manufacturing in the UK, the quality of the materials and workmanship externally are pretty good on mine, comparable with the kei office ones I have owned, or silk roads. Its interesting that alot of coilovers out of japan are made in places like china and taiwan - to the jap specifications.

If I had a bad thing to say, it would be that I would have liked extra (harder) dampening adjustment for the rears - I suppose its my own fault for not buying the drift spec ones.

dollar for dollar, there isnt much that will compare, that I have seen.

      spot the stagea

      By AnimalGarage · Posted

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.

      In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).

      ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.

      OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
