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

      Rob's S Chassis track cars. Now with more s15 and less 180sx

      Also did some work to the shed and a massive clean out of stuff. It's now got a small fab/dirty room and has helped keep shed cleaner. Built some new work benches and re organised things also got a TV out there so good having something playing while working on the cars. Got a pedestal drill and linisher off a mate that need to pick up too.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      First thought, have your current injectors flow tested. If they test fine, keep the diagnostics going. It's not the injectors. If the injectors are the issue, find some new or used (cleaned and flow tested) injectors.  While I really love a good excuse to get a modern ECU installed, just needing new injectors probably isn't a good enough reason to do so.

      A bit from column A, B and C. Mainly C   Update time, after deciding it was time to tick off a bucket list goal I finished up full time at MSR and have gotten back behind the wheel and making progress on the S15. Goal has been to drive Bathurst at an event and I have had my entry accepted for Challenge Bathurst in November. Since I don't want to go unprepared I need it running to test and get comfortable.  Been chipping away at it and started by stripping inside, getting it all cleaned and sealing some holes up. With stripping inside I removed the whole wiring loom and found a few surprises.......... its pretty butchered and shit branching and I'm not a fan of the haltech fuse boxes so it's all out and trying to come up with a plan to rewire it all either new fuse/relay box or pdm.  I haven't been happy with how I did the intercooler mounting and been wanting to tuck it up under rad support. O e issue with that is headlights will need a decent trim or get replacement covers. Took the time to mount it with some stand off's and new hardware. Stands are some m8 button bolts, washer, aluminium tube and factory radiator top mount rubbers. It's nice and solid also stiffens rad support which still requires some trimming. Bonus of factory rad mounting is used all factory hoses just need to weld a pressure cap to radiator now. Got sensor block and fuel filter mounted. Plan today is to get vac lines all sorted with push in nylon tube and design oil cooler mounting solution.  Been driving BRZ a heap and went out to Morgan Park for time attack and went pretty well for a wet day. https://youtu.be/gAlQgcQpWj4?si=kojOAOjhhX_X3AXR Getting pretty comfortable in it now and want to do a few more bits to it but restraining myself as don't need 2 race cars at the moment.

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      @sunsetR33 There is obviously a huge culture gap here. There is nothing in place like this in Australia, where if you fit a Mines branded pipe and later replace it with a Jun branded pipe, both pipes are essentially identical - BAM - huge penalties! Where is the Mines pipe?? You can't have a Jun pipe when you said you had a Mines pipe!  Makes no sense to me. Surely makes no sense to anyone else here either.  I'm sure a lot of us would agree that our registration/engineering system is pretty stupid at times, but it's not that stupid.  *** More serious question here. If you replace a factory rubber hose with a silicone hose, is the car illegally on the road now? Does it become legal if you have certification of what brand the silicone hose is? Then would it become illegal again if you replaced that silicone hose with a difference brand of silicone hose? And then would it become legal again if you had certification of the new brand of silicone hose?  I really want to know that answer to that question.

      Good you making progress with this rig. Aluminium welding is painful to learn, have you got a pedal as I found it so much easier with one. If that's the AMG I think it is, you would working with Benny?
