hey guys  

as title says, what does every1 fink of the D2 Racing Suspension (purple in colour)..All comments welcome..good or bad.

Cheers

Matt

i've got some installed in my Cefiro, best suspension i've had in it to date. Has height, damping, camber, rebound adjustents etc. a, and it cost me $1325 delivered to adelaide on a group buy.

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.

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
