Hi

Just wanted to get a general feel for anyone who has coilovers in their R34 GTT or R33 GTST?

1)What brand and model are they?

2)What are the spring rates?

3)Are they noisy?

4)Is it a comfortable ride?

5)Hows the handling of the car?

6)How old are they and are they in need of repair or rebuild?

Thanks all! any help at all is much appreciated!

Ive got coilovers in the R33 GTST.

1) Apexi N1 Damper series or something

2) Couldnt tell ya as they came in the car, but they're friggin stiff, teeth shattering.

3) Nope

4) I wouldnt say its an uncomfortable ride because here in canberra the roads are friggin awesome, so its smooth.

5) Awesome!

6) Who knows? I think the owner in Japan installed them (for a pretty penny, apparently they are expensive.... anyone have an idea how much they would be? i'm interested to learn).

Sorry i couldnt be much help, they came in the car so im pretty clueless about the details.

Same, Got a 2nd hand Apexi Coilover R33 GTS T

- Apexi N1 damper, Type V height and damper adjustable.

- Spring rate is 360, but my rear springs has been replaced to softer springs to 290.

- No noise from 3, but bit of noise from 1 rear. Bearable. I think its aging

- Comfortable? depends how u set it?

- Handling is improved by far, conerning is much more stable.

- When bought, was told its in the car for less than 5000km, I think it still a long way for a rebuild, should last another 50000kms, I hope SOO.!!!! :/

Hey mate ive got the new g4 from just jap there a really good coilover

the car handles so good but they are a hard ride you can get the softer springs from them but as i use the car for drifting they are great

    • This would be a new pump with new gears. I'm just unclear on whether it's a good idea to run more oil pump flow if you don't actually need said flow. Oil level is set a minute or so after shutting off a warm engine so wouldn't the high RPM oil level in the sump end up lower all things equal? Plan is OEM clearances, main concern in my mind is whether the OEM pump can keep up with the flow requirements of any additional oil coolers.
    • Don't do what I did, use a 300000km old housing with billet gears. The old pump probably was clearanced with saw dust, Edward Lee's special engine treatment sauce and a good odo wind back. I had oil pressure issues, then replaces pump with new housing, new billet gears and 2x track day later binned a motor due to other oil related issues due to a previous engine builder. Long story short, buy a M2 or 3 or 4 N55/S55/S58 and enjoy life.
    • Yeah. "New pump" does not have to mean "massive pump".
    • Well, can you still get an OEM pump, and by the time you're buying a Nismo/N1 etc, just buy another aftermarket pump. It's better to have the pump able to flow more if its needed, than for your pressure to drop off. At any point in time, you're replacing the oil pump in a rebuild. Aftermarket pumps are likely going to be a better economical choice, and they don't have any negatives, even if they can flow more.   Also, when you're saying "replace the pump gears" are you meaning leave a 25+ year old housing in the engine with unknown wear, and just put new gears in? As that sounds silly to me, especially if you do have that minute amount of wear, that means your new pump gears now have a little bit more clearance beside them, which means, whelp, you may not get to build a lot of oil pressure or make a lot of flow.
    • Right, but if you replace the pump gears + put a spline or sine drive gear on the crank on a Nismo/OEM/N1/etc pump at that point do you really still want more flow/oil pressure? Let's say this is a the aforementioned "keep it simple" build, no more than ~400 kW at the crank.
