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

  • 3 weeks later...

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.

    • It's unfortunate what Tomei USA has done to Tomei's name in general. I'm very weary of ordering parts from them now. I only order direct from a Japanse source (e.g Nengun). At least their logos are different, so you end up knowing what you have. 
    • Update Issues 5 (plus #4) - 10 After making a claim about issue #4's missing part, DeAgostini Japan sent a whole new issue #4 and it arrived about 2 weeks after that. That was back in early March. It took another 4 weeks to receive issues 5 - 13 though. This update is for issues 5 - 10. Ove the 5 issues the front left suspension and most of the engine have been completed. The quality of the castings and fit of the parts is quite good, it seems better than DeAgostini's BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the Fast & Furious 2 movie, which (to me anyway) doesn't seem to have as tight tolerances or quite as accurate castings.  Each issue has a lot of info about the 1989 - 1993 Skyline range and other Nissan models from that era, but the focus is on the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo and the various racing it did in Japan, Europe (Spa 24hrs) and of course Australia. I've included some text translated with Google Lens in some photos and will add to them if there's anything worth including. 
    • If it's for a SR20, make sure it's not the American Poncams, might as well call them Poocams. Had a set in a friend's car, all scuffed up after a few track days. Like the metallurgy Tomei USA used is junk. Went back to JDM OG Tomei Poncams, no issues till now.   Tomei USA is not the real OG Tomei.   Random rant over, fk the US of A, bunch of c u n t s. 
    • Most of the industry in North America either runs on Siemens or Allen Bradley. I have two redundant S7-1500's on my desk right next to me for simulation. Siemens has been losing ground though since Stuxnet, as cybersecurity is a big thing. In my line of work that is federally regulated, you must by law have a cybersecurity management program in place and its audited and inspected every so often.  I work with Emerson PLC's daily (RX3i's) and have done large biogas/refinery projects with their DCS's. Their PLC's are somewhat OK minus the way they do PLC redundancy (You have to download on both PLC's separately every time you make a change )  As for their DCS's... you'll be limited financially first before anything else stops you. Costs are exorbiant at roughly 10x what it would cost you to do with any other system (e.g AB PAC).  1990's, those suckers are brand new haha! Kraft-Heinz (An old client when I use to work for an ESP) still runs Siemens TI505 PLC's from the mid 80's. Ohh how I don't miss working with those... you could only do a certain number of online downloads until it's "Change" buffer would be full and you would then need to go offline to do a full download. There was no warning of when this was coming up and it generally would happen when you would go in at 2am to make changes before production -_-.
