Ok as mentioned in the topic i want to get some coilovers soon but there is a problem..there is so much choice for the amount of money i am looking at spending.

I have a budget of say up to 1400 maaxx prefer a little less but of course will pay a bit more if there is a point. So i have looked at d2, BC, g4? second hand cusco (i had cusco adj coils in my other r33 and they where stiff as hell) the g4s where lik 1399$ which was teh most and the bcs and d2s where around 1000$

so what why should i go? are there any others out there that suit my budget. Car is a 96 gtst.

Cheers!!

if you're looking for quality AND value for money, you could consider the HSD coilovers priced from $1330. HSD coilovers were used on Darren Appletons winning car in the 2005 Drift Australia series.

i think you need to be more specific man... ie.. are you using the car on the track/street/drag/ etc. are you after comfort/ultra low... height/dampening. etc. i'd save up a bit more dosh and go for the aus spec teins. there a great all round coilover, comfort, but still handle. you can get em from fulcrum anywhere., probably other places too. i've driven a car with hsd's, there good cheap suspension too.

I'm getting some Tein SS from Nengun in the next couple of months. They offer a really good price and the Tein SS are perfect for street driving. Do a lot of research and match the suspension to your application.

I've currently got d2 in my r33, they are bumpy but for the price i pay they are a good entry level coilover (i have the track spec ones)

I have done drift practices, mc days and a few other sprint days; and found the car to handle pretty good. Im about to upgrade to Tein Circuit Master Type RS, as im looking to get more hardcore about my track time

I think you will find most china spec entry level coilovers will be pretty similar if not the same (they are all pretty much made in the same factory). Most people comment on how bumpy and hard the ride is for j-spec coilovers (hks,tein, trust etc etc) but i think it something you just get uses too and if the coilover is of good quality the damper adjustment should help to reduce the hardness of the ride

D2 and G4 are essentially the same units just rebadged and different colours. They are cheaper entry level units and the spring rates are a bit on the hard side for the road. I've stuck with my d2's now for a while but I have down rated my spring rates and they are better now. If you could afford it I would go witth Tein ss or the whiteline kits.

    • Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.
    • DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P
    • As per title.. has anyone used so far? Keen to hear results, comparisons. In the market for a new mani for my new turbo. Any issues cracking?
    • Re read everything that has been written about this in this thread.. Let us know if you're still confused.
    • This would be a new pump with new gears. I'm just unclear on whether it's a good idea to run more oil pump flow if you don't actually need said flow. Oil level is set a minute or so after shutting off a warm engine so wouldn't the high RPM oil level in the sump end up lower all things equal? Plan is OEM clearances, main concern in my mind is whether the OEM pump can keep up with the flow requirements of any additional oil coolers.
