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

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..

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.

      R32 GTST - 600KW+ RB28/CD009 Build

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I've done a few BMS systems. Code in Canada use to force us to have any safety components outside of the PLC but with a code change back in 2018 I believe it was, we can now use safety PLC's to control everything. Sadly to your point, AB Guardlogix safety instructions for example are only available in ladder.  Machine safety is a very big thing here though, you're constantly forced to migrate to the next best thing by OSHA. I honestly prefer safety plc's, including anything from AB more then I do working with old school safety monitoring relays. PLC is only one portion of it, the rest of the electrical still has to follow to meet SIL (Mechanically linked dual contacts, bla bla)  Now tell me how to feel about safety over comm's (e.g Ethernet/IP CIP) on a unmaintained network haha

      To your point, boolean logic. We're not only working with bools in ecu's, so it's very limiting. I wanted to setup a low WMI pressure alarm. After 1 second I want WMI line to hit 100PSI, 2 seconds 175PSI, etc. and trigger an alarm if it doesn't meet those thresholds. This would of taken me one very short line of text, but instead I had to bugger around with generic timers, conditions, etc. and so forth.

      Low oil pressure after WOT

      By pogman · Posted

      I much prefer that to an actual oil pressure issue, never would of thought it would of been a volt drop issue but SAU brains win again. Guess ill be turning down the oil pressure limit for the track and hunting some grounds. Ill hopefully update this thread with some high oil pressure and solid ecu voltage logs.

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      You've just discovered a really good reason to tell yourself, yes, I do need to buy an aftermarket ECU. Put the MAF in the bin. Slap in the new ECU and have a think about what turbo sounds you prefer.  Do you want a 90's style BOV wooosh? Do you want a hektik tsututututu?  Mate, can't go wrong. Just gotta get that ECU and the world is your oyster.

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Iam just curisou about this topic. I saw this video. It is about Greddy Type FV2. I know that BoVs are about that sound but how and when to use it? I read some topic here and from what i have understand on stock RB with MAF there will be some "problems" if you use this BoV? It vents the air in to the atmosphere and the MAF on stock car needs this air back in to the intake and not out? Or is it wrong? If so...i saw you can put some adaptor to circule air back...but does that not "loose" that sound? I saw another BoV from Turbosmart and it has two "exhaust" like ports? One is for the stock tubing for letting air back and one is for "sound" and let the air in the atmosphere? Can someone please explain? This is the Greddy one:  And this is the Turbosmart.     THANK YOU!! EDIT: So i read about this topic some more and i if i understand that correctly: That Greddy can function either like BoV or 100% Bypass valve? And that Turbosmart is what they called hybrid so you can adjust what and how many air can be vented out or back in? Is this right? THX!
