hi guys..

im interested in replacing the suspension in my R33.. its also the first time im upgrading the suspension.. which 1 out of these three brands (pedders, kyb or koni) are good in terms of nice ride and comfrot when driving around.. its a street car, no plans of making it a track car.. my car is also n/a..

here are some quotes i got from pedders & gt suspension -

Pedders - normal spring and shock $1440 supplied and fitted

add an extra $400 to get coilovers

GT Suspension - KYB set for $900 supplied and fitted

The guy said he can do a better price for Koni coilovers for under $1800 compared to Pedders coilovers for $1800.

what are your thoughts?

i fitted kyb's to my sons r33 and it rides fantastic trade price for a set of kyb's is around 400 buck give a doller or 2 . konis would be great if you was going to do some track work . and not sure on pedders brand to comment we fit kyb shocks to most cars that come thru our workshop and have found them to be a good all round unit .

if your in sa i might be able to help you out a bit

cheers dean

koni's are easily rebuildable and revalved... if in vic, TopPerformance in trade place vermont will be the cheapest by far... try for trade price :)

thanks guys for the response.. been busy last couple of days..

dean, i would take your offer but i dont live in adelaide..

i've also talked to chris from centerline suspension and he offered me TEIN Super Street Dampers.. he said if i was to spend $1800 on suspension, might as well get the TEIN coz its a straight bolt on.. instead of just replacing the shocks and springs, you get everything new..

what do you guys think of TEIN brand? but before i spend money on suspension, im getting my suspension check first..

    • I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though 
    • $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.
    • Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.
    • I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.
    • I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
