Hi,

I'm new here and hope I can get some help. I have a GTR R32 more or less in stock condition with HKS coilovers that I need to replace, as one is leaking and it seems to be impossible to get them repaired.. I have tried to find some reviews of coilovers and so far I get the feeling that HSD and BC Gold generally get a lot of good feedback.

I can also get OZ Racing coilovers here in NZ - http://www.bcracing.co.nz/%C2'> - which are fully supported in terms of parts and are supposedly the same as D2?

I use the car just for driving on the road and plan to go on the track the odd time maybe.

I wonder if there are any of you out there who have used OZ Racing coilovers and can give some feedback or comments? I haven't found anything on the forum about that brand.

Cheers, C

Give the coilovers the flick. Buy a set of customised Bilsteins from SydneyKid on here. Buy a set of springs to go with (Kings, Eibach, maybe Tein). Enjoy proper damping instead of the ratshit piss poor excuse for damping you get from cheap coilovers. Enjoy life.

Total cost less shipping to sheep island, <$2k. Outperform any coilover setup this side of double that money.

What this guy said. Anything cheaper is a waste of money. If you can't afford, save up so you can afford it, you will thank yourself for it.

I have seen bits break off new D2s so if OZ are the same definitely avoid.

I got my Bilsteins from Bilstein Motorsports in Penrose but Auto Alignment nationwide carry them as well. Or you can look on TradeMe for some imported HKS or Tein etc and get a suspension shop to check them out before you install them.

    • If that's the wiring from the factory, I'd be inspecting the loom everywhere.   Any signs of that anywhere else, and seriously, I'd get rid of the car ASAP before the electrical gremlins make it worthless, or it goes up in flames on its own. That is scary how that insulation is failing!
    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
