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.

    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.

    • Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.
