I want to lower my car and inch all round, for a lower centre of gravity and better look as part of a series of upgrades.

The speed for sale website shows a whole range of the usual brands that have a similar number of coils and weight to the OEM springs.

But then I saw the 'Swift GTR Sport Springs' lower down the list, that seem to have a whole lot of benefits over the normal type. They us a higher grade steel and have almost half the coils and weight?

What do you guys think?

I want to order a set ASAP, so some past experience advice from members would be appreciated!

I have a set sitting in my garage that I haven't put on yet. As far as I know they are the only true 1inch drop all round spring. They also make comfort mode actually work. You might find it hard to believe but I actually bought my set from Nissan and then brought them back in my luggage.

When you say you brought them back in your luggage, do you mean from Japan?

Did you get a stock item number?

Could be worth a shot hitting my local dealer if they have a Nissan stock number, you never know your luck.

Also, what did they cost you in AUD.

Thanks for the info.

I bought them from Fontana Nissan which is about 1hr drive from Los Angeles. Unlike in Australia you can purchase aftermarket gear from other manufacturers direct from the Nissan dealership. Follow this link for all the details:

      Before you blow your car up, have you checked you've made all the correct modifications to the wiring if you're still using the RB20DE loom?   Some things to look at: The pin used for the map sensor on the RB25DET, is the same pin used on the RB20DE for the Ring Gear Crankshaft Position Sensor, no idea what you've got it plugged into now. The turbo pressure control valve solenoid you're talking about on the RB25DET, the same pin is used for the Variable Air Intake Control Valve on the RB20DE.   The factory manual has the wiring pinouts in it for you to check everything. It also has the diagnostics process to read codes out. In addition, there's a great table that shows what sensors and what actuators not functioning will relate to which signals. And Nissan confirm the as everyone else has from experience, the Solenoid being disconnected won't cause a fuel cut. However, the turbo pressure sensor being missing / wrong, WILL cause a fuel cut. https://www.nicoclub.com/service-manual?fsm=Skyline%2FR34-Workshop-Manual-English.pdf

      I've been hunting info on the G Series II - this is best I have found so far(Link below). Still waiting on the G35-1150 comp map, kind of very keen   So how do we go about getting precision on that little table of yours ?   https://turbosbytm.com/sites/default/files/product/technical-info/Garrett-G-Series-II-Product_Flyer 25 30 35_1.pdf

      yeah I get ~0.6L per session into the catch can. very ethanoly. It ends up overflowing out the breather of the catch can on circuit days too even with a 2.3L capacity catch can and I only drain out ~0.6L max. So every session I have to come in and drain the catch can, which is a hassle. So this is me cracking the shits and doing everything I can without removing the motor (back of head sump drain/breather and oil restrictors off the table). plans short term are: full length splash plates remove oem cam cover baffle add foam and reinstall at -10 or -12 AN fittings to the side of the cam covers down to the sump (luckily I already have fittings in the sump) Yes the ~340,000km unopened motor is probably not helping things

      I'd use any fuel safe foam....mine went in 15 years and 15 rebuilds ago, still getting reused I'd have to say I don't understand swapping to studs to fit a particular baffle unless you are having a massive blowby issue, and even if you are addressing crankcase not head breathing is probably the next step.

      BTW, the reason I came in here to "update" this list was that the Garrett G Series II range have been released and I've updated the list with their flow details if you're curious to check how they fit with previous Garretts and other brands The G-Series II G35 990 looks like a banger...
