Hey guys thought i'd tap into the vast knowledge on anything skyline and get some info. At the moment im close to the $2500 needed for my new bodykit however im now thinking i'll save that little bit longer and get coilovers at the same time so it looks even meaner.

My car is a 1994 R33 GTS, no NA jokes im on my P's and therefore i'm happy with my lil GTS. In 3yrs i'll drop somethin nicer in the bay or just buy a GTS-T... but anyway what's everyones thoughts on coilovers. I don't want to spend a fortune as i'm not a serious racer but I am keen to hit up some track days down the road. What kinda price range would I be lookin at for a mid budget coilovers?

Also what brands do you all recommend and who should I steer clear of. Theres a few on ebay that look the part but im cautious bout buyin anything off ebay as I don't have the knowledge to know what i'm looking it.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in Advance. Pez.

My friend has ISC Coilvers in his R32 GT-R VSpec II, i went for a drive in it, handles absolutley beautiful, and I also plan to purchase some ISC Coilovers off Ryan in the near future. (When Kevin gives me $900). I've got nothing but good things to say, and you can choose your own spring rates.

i was weighing this up just a few weeks ago. there are heaps of threads around, do a search for tein and greddy type s.

tein super sports are on the cheaper end and you will read not as good and the more expensive ones, but pretty popular. there is a good thread

around explaining the difference between the different types.

i went for greddy type s. height adjustable without compressing the spring. love em so far, the difference over stock is crazy, while

still keeping your eyes in your head.

Three years is a long time who know's what will happen to my humble GTS between now and then. If enough work goes into it i'll drop a new engine in instead of buyin a GTS-T.

Thanks for the replies too guys, not 100% on what i'll get yet but the responses have helped a lot. Im thinkin one of the lower end $1000-1500 ones as they seem to be more street friendly?

do you plan on tracking the car??

have you considered purchasing a lowering kit instead, (lowered shocks and springs)... i know its not the tuners first preferance but if your only guna drive it as a daily its all you will need and you will be saving yourself a grand.

it will look just as good and with the money you saved u can put it toward a gtr ;)

    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
