Hi everyone..

I have a few sets of coilovers, I've decided to get rebuilt..

I was just wondering where people have sent or got their coilovers rebuilt in the past & how much it cost?

If it matters what Brand they are then;

2x Front pairs of JIC

1x Front pair of Teins

1x Front pair of Keioffices

1x Rear pair of Teins

1x Rear pair of Keioffices

1x Rear pair of Bilsteins

Any help would be greatly appreciated..

Regards,

Sherwin

Sorry mate..

These are all for S13's..

I want to rebuild them so I can use them in my Sprinters..

The Rears can be used in R32s however..

Sell them all, get new stuff hey. That is my advice from having rebuilds done myself. Maybe get the bilsteins rebuilt, the others flog them off. Let it be someone elses problem.

Na, I want these for my cars..

So I think i will go through the hassels of rebuilding them..

A place and a Price.. ;)

Dude, thats where I went. Trust me when I say sell what you have, buy something new. 12months 3 of my shocks died, they have a 30 day warrenty. And low and behold they were keioffice.

Im happy for you to throw your money away, but mine were also rebuilt to suit a much softer spring which should have increased their life. I also never had the car on a track, off road, and I NEVER drifted it. They still died from normal every day road use.

I now have new bilsteins in it, and they are 100% better.

And Im not the only one.

I had 4 JICs rebuilt with KYB inserts at TSR and they were going strong for 18 months up to when i sold my car. They were a little more $$$ then mentioned above though - $200+ per corner.

      Feedback on these “rebuilt” Nismo injectors

      By Duncan · Posted

      I wouldn't be concerned at all, other than to suggest having them flow tested when you receive them to confirm they are reasonably similar, and then put the highest to lowest flowing ones in cylinder 6,1,5,2,4,3

      I’m only posting this cause I thought I had seen a bad review on these somewhere before. Any feedback? Would you guys recommend that if I do buy these I send em to RC to have em checked before installing. Or any other suggestions?   https://www.ebay.com/itm/114009965865?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=JDl-15yLQ8C&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=QTzlFXB1S-S&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

      They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...

      BCNR33/ECR33 Door corner piece replacement

      By PLYNX · Posted

      Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
