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 :(

Gary, couple more please -

Coil ID = 102/88.5 mm

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

Spring rate = ???

Thanks

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

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
