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.

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
