c'mon gary. Put me out of my misery! I'm dying to know!!! hehe.

thanks mate. :)

Sorry, I am not at my engineering computer, I will do it as soon as I get home tonight.

:P cheers :P

Coil ID = 100/105 mm

Wire OD = 13 mm

# of Coils = 9.5/10 turns

Spring rate = ???

Thanks ...

135 lbs per inch (2.4 kg/mm) if it 9.5 turns and 125 lbs per inch (2.2kg/mm) if its 10 turns.

:D Cheers :(

Hi gary,

I've got one for you.

Rears:

coil OD 91mm

wire OD 13mm

coils 9.4

length (lightly captive) 247mm

Fronts:

coil OD 90mm

wire OD 13mm

coils 7.75

length (lightly captive) 190mm

thanks very much Gary.

Sorry for the delay, I haven't been at my home office PC since last Thursday.

Not too bad;

Rears are 185 lbs per inch (3.3 kg/mm)

Fronts are 245 lbs per inch (4.4 kg/mm)

:D Cheers :(

woah! that is a long way off what i thought. maybe i measured something wrong, but i'm pretty sure i wasn't legless when i measured.

thanks mate. :(

OK, ignore that. I just noticed you measured coil OD not ID. I will redo them tonight, sorry.

:( cheers ;)

Lets try that again, using the correct ID this time

Rear = 440 lbs per inch (7.9 kg/mm)

Front = 565 lbs per inch (10.1 kg/mm)

My suggestion for a cheap fix, stick the rears in the front and buy some 250 lbs per inch (4.5 kg/mm) rears.

:D Cheers :(

Wire OD = 13 mm

# of Coils = 8.9 turns

Spring rate = ???

Coil ID = 99/68 mm

Wire OD = 12 mm

# of Coils = 7.25 turns

Spring rate = ???

Thanks

Coil ID = 66mm / 96mm

Wire OD = 13mm

# of Coils = 8.5 turns

Just a set of std fronts for an r32. Just like to know what they are rated at ;)

275 lbs/inch (4.9 kg/mm)

Which isn't standard R32GTR front, maybe check the dimensions again.

:P cheers :)

r32 gtst springs they are. The previous owner had them on my car to put the car at std height.

What would this pair be good for? (besides raising the car up :P)

That's an OK front rate for a GTR that sees a bit of track work, would need some decent shocks to control it. From what you are saying the height might be the problem. Some Bilsteins with the additional circlip grooves would handle the rate and then the height could be fixed using the lower grooves. But the Whiteline springs are only $144 a pair on the Group Buy and they are the right rate and height.

:) cheers ;)

I have two sets of springs for you to check out please.

First set:

Front: Coil ID: 116mm

Wire OD: 13mm

# of coils: 6.5

Rear: Coil ID: 90mm

Wire OD: 13mm

# of coils: 8.125

second set:

Front: Coil ID: top 103mm - bottom 106mm

Wire OD: 12mm

# of coils: 6.5

Rear: Coil ID: top 70mm - bottom 65mm (this spring starts small, tapers out, then tapers in again)

Wire OD: 12mm

# of coils: 8.8

I appreciate your time. Hope to hear from you soon.

Regards,

Beau

    • Bit of a late reply here as me and my wife have been really busy with new born twins. I finally got these issues fixed and it was something really stupid that caused all of this 🤦‍♂️... After alot of mucking around with trying to figure out what is causing these issues, I back probed one of the R35 coils on the power 12v supply, with the engine running it got 25v! And I thought, hang on..., this isn't normal. Measured my battery with the engine running to check for over charge from the alternator and it wasn't that. So then I dissconnected the R35 PRP coil harness and backprobed the power supply on the engine loom where the ignition coil harness connects, with the key on ignition (engine off) it measured 30v! So then I had to trace where that high voltage was coming from and it lead me to the brown relay "ECM & IGN coil relay" inside the cabin next to the ECU on the passanger wall. This relay feeds power to the ECM and ignition coils. Tried swapping it with another same relay. nah still 30v.. coming from the 2 green/white wires in the brown relay. So then I set my multi meter to the beep continuity mode and probed every fuse on the fuse box inside the cabin to try and find this high voltage power source. Wasn't any of the fuses inside the cabin. Then probed all the fuses in the engine bay and BAM, got my power source that was a 10AMP fuse called "ENG CONT". Pulled the fuse out, and what do you know... it was blown. 🤦‍♂️  So then I quickly replaced it with a new 10AMP fuse, started the car and yeah haha [insert extreme face palm]... The RPM blimping thing went away, car idles smoothly now like what it was before. I swear! I checked all my fuses with my test light twice before I created this forum thread. I think, maybe because one side of that faulty 10A fuse lit up on my test light, I must have thought it was still ok and not blown. But now I know to have both sides light up on the test light when checking fuses... I hate diagnosing electricals.... I'd take mechanical problems over electrical problems any day🤣. Drove the car around my suburb with the engine up to operating temp and it runs fine like before. However, I notice that my fuel pressure is still at 49psi. So I'm thinking this must be normal for my system as I've upgraded the stock fuel pump to a Walbro 255L/h with a constant 12v mod.  But anyway, I'm just glad to have my daily back on the road! Thanks everyone for the replies on this thread, all sorted now! One thing I want to ask you tuner guys, my base fuel pressure on the haltech main settings are set to 43.5psi from default (my tuner must have not checked the fuel pressure maybe when tuning my car?). Do I set it to what it actually is idling on at 49psi? Or just leave it ("if it aint broke, don't fix it/leave it")?  
    • The max they would go for me is 50.
    • That cannot have been a fun set of drilling. The stock "baffle" looks identical to rb26, I just cut fuel cell foam to fit the full length under the baffle.
    • I understand your sarcastic exasperation. But to be fair - the baffles do indeed fit OEM cam covers. They did omit to say that you need to do a bunch of stuff. But they do fit them.
