Hi Martin,

Im running track spec D2 coilovers in my r33 gts-t, i've had them for almost a year now. I bought them from EVO-R and they come with a full warrenty...

in the begining i had a problem with my rears, due to factory fault. i went back and had them exchange for new items, since then i havnt had any problems at all with them.

I use my car mainly for street, i find that they are alittle on the bumpy side (thou i run them on mid/hard damper setup) But when i take the car to track it handles extremmely good. there was a huge overall improvement in the car :spank:

Hope that helps Michael

I've got the G4 Coilovers in my car, price/performance you can't beat them. They're rebuildable so when they come to the end of thier life, just fix them back up.

I've got the Street Spec ones, and find them pretty hard, I've got them on mid-damper settings. My car only does a few km's a day, but even then sometimes the hardness of them takes it toll on your anal ring over an unexpected bump!

BUT that's the best bit, the car handles BEAUTIFULLY.

I had the wrong shock legs supplied by www.justjap.com (the internally threaded bottom bits if you will) which made the car sit rediculously low on the highest setting. One call to Justjap had them express-post me some new ones to fit immediately! A++ Customer service!

OH, and I fitted them myself too - piece of piss (NB. I had a hoist to use but!)

just took my car over the pits for it wa rego and it was failed cos of the tein c/overs...

"apparently" any c/overs with a bottom adjustable tube (2 lock nuts at the top and another at the base of the tube, see pic) are illegal. I asked why and the reason...

"well mate there isnt a 2nd nut to lock the bottom like there is at the top... vibrations can cause this to come loose and if your strut winds out and goes bang then who knows what might happen"

what BS!!!!! fit them properly and you shouldn't have any issues, but be prepaired to swap them out if you get stickered. I even asked if adding a second nut will pass them but "NUP"!

handy hint... NEVER GO TO WARWICK PITS!!!! :D:):mad:

ya.. if the shock is turning, i think you have more issues to worry about (is it attached to the car to begin with? :D)

it's the same old story, depends where you take it.

my teins have passed over welshpool, but then ive seen people go through welshpool and get knocked back for teins aswell...

personally i wouldnt buy them given the choice.. and they dont make them for bikes :)

back on topic now too...

ive heard lots of good comments on the D2's for the price, you cant go past them.. especially for street use.

i have teins, set to the softest damper front and rear, and i get a constant anal bashing, as kym ever-so-well put it.

hey dudes

i got d2s and they are pretty good and you can dump em pretty low :D

they ride good and they can be stiff and can be soft enuff i recommend em

go see Mao at evo r and grab a set of these wont be disappointed to

mao also does gaurd rolling so u can dump your car

like mikey said the will be gettin a service and rebuild machine soon so u can service the coilovers and change spring rates.

also evo r are the head for D2s so they have all suspension arms available etc etc

cheers

    • H2 (for cars) will never happen. It's not reasonable for any number of reasons. It's also not reasonable for almost all of the industrial uses that the fanbois say that it will be used for, again for a large number of reasons. There are some cases where it will be good. But, even those will be massively hampered by the economics. The only way that H2 can be economic is if we somehow manage to get from where we are to the other side of the economic-valley-of-death in which no-one can operate. You need there to be sufficient renewable generated electricity to be available so that it is effectively free. Once you are there, you can do whatever the hell you want and hang the efficiency. But until you get there, the ever diminishing value of electricity makes it harder and harder to encourage businesses to build the new generation capacity, and they will simply stop investing in generation projects. (I kinda think there needs to be just government money spent on building the required capacity in a non-commercial way, similar to how the first fossil fueled grids were built, as national-government owned utilities. And probably some nuclear in there to start. But this all should have started 10-15 years ago to avoid the chasm of death that we face right now). Synth fuels will be much more likely, but will only occur is there is at least some renewable H2 production, because you need H2 to do it. And you need stacks of free (or at least extraordinarily cheap) energy because assembling molecules back into fuels is exactly the opposite process to burning the fuel, and the reason we burn fuels is because there is so much energy squeezed into each molecule. So you're somewhat subject to the same economic valley of death problem as above anyway. That is unless people are willing to pay the current equivalent of $5 or $6 per litre of petrol-ish liquid fuels. Can you imagine it? The squealing at $2 now is bad enough.
    • This is so cool. Get a dashcam that records audio and hopefully you'll catch it.  Maybe there's a brand or some kind of markings on the back ? Are the pics hand drawn? I love it so much.
    • Hahaha yep, point(s) taken. I just like seeing different things and an EV in an R32 is pretty different. I'm not on the EV band wagon, I'm waiting for synthetic fuels or hydrogen personally. 
    • I mean it's probably likely that people overestimate their skills in dialling in a setup and noticing the changes. I had SK shocks and springs, and added heavier springs and got them revalved by Sydney Shocks to suit based upon what I told them I wanted the car to handle like. I got back a completely different feeling set of shocks, which probably (?) feel great on track but holy hell are they rough on tram tracks and the like. The shock dyno actually looks pretty similar to Shockworks (from what I can surmise from a screenshot of a youtube video - and my dyno printout...) Truth be told I doubt I'd be any faster or slower with either setup, or camber/castor combination. I also had whiteline eccentric castor bushes up front of my R34. I removed them and put in poly non-adjustable ones to soothe my OCD (nobody ever set the castor the same side to side, and it'd be near impossible to do) and be happy the wheel is centered in the well now for clearance reasons. Yes I wanted it to move 1mm 'back' :p I've effectively set my castor back to stock, negating all the benefits of that which is supposedly massive. I've probably also altered toe and camber in a negative (detrimental) way. I can't tell any difference steering the car.
