thanks mate. :)

Sorry, I am not at my engineering computer, I will do it as soon as I get home tonight.

:P cheers :P

Coil ID = 100/105 mm

Wire OD = 13 mm

# of Coils = 9.5/10 turns

Spring rate = ???

Thanks ...

135 lbs per inch (2.4 kg/mm) if it 9.5 turns and 125 lbs per inch (2.2kg/mm) if its 10 turns.

:D Cheers :(

Hi gary,

I've got one for you.

Rears:

coil OD 91mm

wire OD 13mm

coils 9.4

length (lightly captive) 247mm

Fronts:

coil OD 90mm

wire OD 13mm

coils 7.75

length (lightly captive) 190mm

thanks very much Gary.

Sorry for the delay, I haven't been at my home office PC since last Thursday.

Not too bad;

Rears are 185 lbs per inch (3.3 kg/mm)

Fronts are 245 lbs per inch (4.4 kg/mm)

:D Cheers :(

woah! that is a long way off what i thought. maybe i measured something wrong, but i'm pretty sure i wasn't legless when i measured.

thanks mate. :(

OK, ignore that. I just noticed you measured coil OD not ID. I will redo them tonight, sorry.

:( cheers ;)

Lets try that again, using the correct ID this time

Rear = 440 lbs per inch (7.9 kg/mm)

Front = 565 lbs per inch (10.1 kg/mm)

My suggestion for a cheap fix, stick the rears in the front and buy some 250 lbs per inch (4.5 kg/mm) rears.

:D Cheers :(

Wire OD = 12 mm

# of Coils = 6.1 turns

Spring rate = ???

Coil ID = 102/92 mm

Wire OD = 13 mm

# of Coils = 8.9 turns

Spring rate = ???

Coil ID = 99/68 mm

Wire OD = 12 mm

# of Coils = 7.25 turns

Coil ID = 66mm / 96mm

Wire OD = 13mm

# of Coils = 8.5 turns

Just a set of std fronts for an r32. Just like to know what they are rated at ;)

275 lbs/inch (4.9 kg/mm)

Which isn't standard R32GTR front, maybe check the dimensions again.

:P cheers :)

r32 gtst springs they are. The previous owner had them on my car to put the car at std height.

What would this pair be good for? (besides raising the car up :P)

That's an OK front rate for a GTR that sees a bit of track work, would need some decent shocks to control it. From what you are saying the height might be the problem. Some Bilsteins with the additional circlip grooves would handle the rate and then the height could be fixed using the lower grooves. But the Whiteline springs are only $144 a pair on the Group Buy and they are the right rate and height.

:) cheers ;)

I have two sets of springs for you to check out please.

First set:

Front: Coil ID: 116mm

Wire OD: 13mm

# of coils: 6.5

Rear: Coil ID: 90mm

Wire OD: 13mm

# of coils: 8.125

second set:

Front: Coil ID: top 103mm - bottom 106mm

Wire OD: 12mm

# of coils: 6.5

Rear: Coil ID: top 70mm - bottom 65mm (this spring starts small, tapers out, then tapers in again)

Wire OD: 12mm

# of coils: 8.8

I appreciate your time. Hope to hear from you soon.

Regards,

Beau

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
