coilvers are a whole strut/srping replacement.

basically its a perfectly match strut and spring, but all gives you things like hieght adjustment, damper adjustment(how hard/soft the bounces are) and high end ones give rebound adjustment too (how much it bounces)

personally, id reccomend the D2's for a good cheap street coilover.

teins are quite stiff, however they have just released a 'softer, australian version' they are still quite expensive.

ive got teins in my car, whilst it handles like a dream on flat surfaces, find some bumps like a normal road and it can be quite a handful.

ask wilkys what they reccomend coilover wise for a street driven 2 (i assume you dont take it to the track much, if at all) and get a price off that.

getting springs may be all you need, i dont know how 'hardcore' you want to go with your car(track/street/show?) but coilovers are definately a good handling mod.

my car was used for a bit of drift over in jah-pan.

so it came with alot of adjustable goodies.

coilovers are a good choice if thats your plan, but then you can always get the springs, and sell them at a later date for a setof coilies.

Call them up and ask. Speculating isn't going to get you permits.

Since I have been over the pits a few times already, the dude has said

"You are not getting this car on the road with out permits for: ... ... ... ... ... ... ... "

Hey i just rang up the licensing centre regarding legal wheel widths and apparently theyre a bit flexible on the width just as long as the track distance doesnt change more than 25mm. So if i get some wheels with the same offset as the factory wheels my track distance should stay the same regardless of the wheel width, right?

    • So....to find any R chassis part number, get your VIN (will be something like ER33-xxxxxx for you) and go to: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan and enter it. From there you have access to a web version of Nissan's part system, FAST. It is a bit tricky to get used to, so maybe have a shot and post up what you think.  You can also search by general model but note in some cases your car might have different options so VIN is safest.  On diagram 211 I got 14075-75T16 for Connector, Water Hose If I search for part 14053‑21U10 that you posted, that is also a water hose but not the one bolted to the plenum and 14075‑04U00 is the fitting where the water hose goes into the block.
    • Yeah now we are talking I much prefer coolers in the front middle because it lessens the chance of a small bump to a corner stopping the whole event. I was thinking the AT cooler can move out of the radiator, delete the AT/engine coolant interwarmer and mount a separate cooler with a thermoswitch somewhere further back as is common in racing, that would be one thing. Beyond that, the engine oil cooler is an obvious one to move to the wheel arch, potentially one on each side, but unused space is an issue. I did have a earlier pic with the bumper off but it doesn't show how busy the corners are: DS is full of the auto driving sensors and PS is totally fully of windscreen washer fluid reservoir But ultimately I was hoping to keep the AC, and the water/air heat exchanger is fundamental so it is not just the radiator that needs to be in front BTW here's airflow to the rad as it ran at the track (one horn is gone now and I'll remove the lights next time):
    • your right the maps for Australia came out in 2017 but are 2010 maps. i got the updated maps SD card put it in and it was the same. Same maps in my Brothers Nissan Patrol. 2020 i think his car is
