I have a set of coilovers on my car and im thinking about ripping them out and selling them because they are too bumpy for my liking (everyday driving). I have no idea what the spring rates are (they came on the car when i bought it) so who could i see about this. Also does anyone have any idea how much s/hand coilovers go for ? All i know is that they are Kei Office. I can take some pics later on.

Another thing...when u throw it hard in second...the ass ends up in the lane next to me...VERY tail happy so im assuming they are awsome for drifting >_< ?

Any help ?

Thanks !

did u get the adjuster things to change the damper

maybe changing this might make them better

i know my coil overs are very good

Yeh damper can be changed, im just not sure if i want coilovers any more or not. I really like how it GLUES the car to the road in the corners while going for a drive in the hills, and really, they are awesome, nothing wrong with them...but i don't know...at this stage im thinking of building a more comfortable car rather then a race/track car.

Well I'm in the same boat as Kisin. My car came with Tein HR's which are too harsh for what I use the car for. As such I'm selling mine, and am looking at around $850 as I have a set of C spanners to go with them to adjust the height (spanners go for $50-70 normally).

So Kisin I would suggest starting at around $800 like I am and see if they sell. Most importers ask between 750-950 depending on condition I believe, so Im startin in the middle of that.

chances are the spring rates are way high. As sk says your car is probably skipping over bumps instead of having the shocks absorb them. Thats why yer arse is trying to overtake u.

Fit up a set of Bilstein with matched springs, and u will find better performance with better ride. They are an excellent shock for performance and dont give the rim shattering hit over bumps.

Price of your Kei office ones, depends on a few things - condition, pics (cos we all like piccies) and how much they are worth to you. If u want to get rid of em, dont hold out for a gold bar :)

hey adam he has a R34GTT i dont think hell want the 33gtst stock suspension.

adam, quick tip make sure whatever coilovers you buy are rebuildable, as second hand ones may be close to stuffed in alot of cases (not saying that KISIN has stuffed ones, they sound awesome.).

      R34 gtt rb25det neo timing belt kit

      By Duncan · Posted

      1. I can't see a location on your profile but you do mention GBP so I'll assume you are in UK. In Australia, CBC make a timing belt kit with the gears and idler and tension bearing and that is what I use without any problems. I'm sure OEM or HKS are also fine but I wouldn't pay extra for HKS over anything else. 2. Yes, I would always change the idler and tensioner and the stud and bolt that hold them in. Assuming they were all done last time it is highly unlikely you would have a problem, but they are very cheap to add to the job considering the time it will take anyway.  3. No, you don't need to lock them as such (I think that is more for engines without timing marks), but you should make sure they move as little as possible once the belt is off as you can hit pistons on valves if they move too far. As always, make sure you line it all up to top dead centre with the timing marks aligned before you take the old belt off.

      R34 gtt rb25det neo timing belt kit

      By drifter17a · Posted

      Hey everyone,   I’m looking for some advice on replacing the timing belt on my RB25DET Neo-powered 1998 Skyline. The engine was fully built about five years ago, including a fresh timing belt, water pump, and other essentials. However, since then, the car has only covered around 2,000–3,000 miles. It’s currently making around 650hp.   Even though the mileage is low, I know timing belts have a time-based lifespan too, and most recommendations suggest changing them every five to six years or 50,000 miles. Since I’m at that time mark, I’d rather not take any risks and plan to swap it out soon.   A few things I’d like to hear opinions on: 1. What’s the best belt for this setup? Should I go with an OEM Nissan belt, or is the HKS fine-tune a better choice given the power level? 2. Would you bother replacing the idler pulley and tensioner at the same time, or only if they show wear? 3. When swapping the belt, is it necessary to lock the cam and crank gears in place, or is lining up the timing marks enough? I’ve seen different approaches, and I want to make sure I do it right.   The water pump was changed with the rebuild and isn’t run off the timing belt, so I don’t see a need to replace it again. I just want to make sure I approach this the right way.   Any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks!
