For sale, set of Apexi coil overs to suit R33 GTR, fully height and damper adjustable (Damper 5 or 6 setttings I think).

Friend brought them over for me but they're exactly the same as what I had on the car before.

So selling them, asking $900.00. Should have them on Tuesday.

I'm in Melb.

See Pic.

Guys,

If they're exactly the same as those I had (which they look to be), they are very firm, they were actually dropped of to me this afternoon and they seem quite good.

When on the softest setting, they seem to make a little noise when cold which is what mine used to do. I spoke to the Apexi distributors in Vermont and they told me that this model was always like this, It normally took a couple of K's for them to quieten down, don't know if this is true, don't know why they'd lie to me though.

Don't have the tools unfortunately and also don't know where they are servicable. I'd imaging the Apexi place I spoke to in Vermont, can't remember the name.

Anyway, again, around B grade roads through some burbs, can be fairly tiring, once the speed rises or the corners need to be taken with aggression, they are fantastic performers. They'd be brilliant on the track.

If anyone is interested, I'll take $780.00 as they're just sitting there taking up space.

Cheers guys.

    • Following from this in a related by not closely-related sense... Because I was buying a bunch of other GKTech stuff, I got some rear subframe collars. The history that leads up to this is: 25+ years ago the car arrived into the country with stock subframe bushes. At some point shortly thereafter I added Whiteline pineapple rings, set up neutral, and it improved the rear end behaviour. Well, it is my vague memory that I was happier with it with them in. Less axle tramp on launches, generally better, etc etc. ~2012 it got a new non-HICAS subframe with new stock bushes. No pineapple rings. I reckon that ever since then I've been dissatisfied with the axle tramp. Recently I've been f**king around a lot with all aspects of the suspension. One contemplation has been to relocate the rear lower control arm front mount points (and do the other things needed to make that work) to improve longitudinal rear grip by getting rid of some of the stupid anti-squat that Nissan ladled into the R32. But.... before doing that I thought I'd put some collars in. And.... The collars are good. The rear sounds a little bit different, but there has been no significant increase in NVH coming up into the body. In terms of rear behaviour - expansion joints on long sweeping elevated freeway ramps that would sometimes cause the rear to jiggle around a bit, no longer seem to do so. It appears that jamming chunks of metal into the gaps in the rubber so they can't move much is a really good thing. And the launch behaviour and general forward traction situation seems to be greatly improved too. It's impossible to be really sure, because the tyres are completely shagged - they are freakishly willing to let go right now. But as an A-B test with the same tyres it certainly seems to grip up a lot better. Highly recommended to anyone who still has stock bushes.
    • Bit off topic maybe but has anyone had a crack at one of those aftermarket electric compressors ? Bit of a search came up with one put out by Speedy Air Spares. Looks interesting and looks as if you'd have to run a big arse alternator. Found this out after the fact as my air con compressor packed it in and soon after my alternator ! !
    • Yes. Needs new ports. Usually just achieved by screwing an adapter onto them. Be aware that any AC compressor that hasn't been used in a long time will very likely have dried out seals and will not hold gas. Oh, and obviously you will require a new receiver-dryer also.
    • Can you covert an R32's AC from r12 to r134 if the compressor/hoses etc are still all good? Pretty sure on my car the AC was degassed when it was imported  to remove the naughty r12 and save the ozone layer, and the fancy climate control system just blew air around. Was happy to drive the car with windows down back then, but now I am old and need to be kept cool
    • Just to circle back here, I've sold my automatic trans to another Stagea owner in OH.
