Hi guys, been hunting for coilovers for a while, esp seeings as one of Bilstien's gave up the ghost. Anyways as we all know the r32 coilovers kit or can be fitted, who has done this? I believe the top mount has to be modified?

I got these super, super cheap. Fronts are Cusco and the rears are Bridgestone, like I said I got these cheap. Downside is that one of the rears is missing one of the locking rings, what information do I need to get off them to order another and where would sell that kinda thing? The rears come with helper springs, should I use these or not?

I bought my Z with Skyline GTR Ohlins coilovers (or at least ex owner told me so), however I don't know the generation of that Skyline.

Right had a gander this morning(off work this week, not for a holiday but to finish the lounge) the helper springs are both off, as I've learned tender springs. I need the top locking ring, just dunno what and where to order it, it's 50mm internal diameter.

Try Demon Tweeks or fleabay. Try searching for "coilover spring perch " as well as lock rings

Demon tweeks were useless this morning. I've gotta work out the thread pitch and send a picture to burton power who might have them. Got somewhere local to try as well.

any local hardware store should have a pitch gauge. last one cost me a quid ! lol

I've got one but it only goes to 1.75 il pop over the hydrolics shop later

I have a pitch gauge set if you still need one

Did see this before I text you, been to Gunwharf quays today :)

Uncle Gary did some proper measuring, I need 52mm diameter rings with 2mm thread pitch. Which it looks like is the same as bilstien and Tein.

uncle!! UNCLE! you cheeky little scrote :)

Haha! ;)

Honestly, there are some seriously unhelpful companies out there, all I want to do is order something in a set size. Two of them basically said we can't help you it's not our product, one was as rude as to say I refuse to tell you what size we use, our collies fit our springs that's all that matters and even if I knew I wouldn't tell you...rude!

Anyone got a set of Tiens they could check for me?

Looks like I'm going to have to have a coil locking ring made...grr

Got new locking rings for my Tein HA coilovers few years back from this company. Found them really helpfull, I did have to supply serial numbers which can usually be found by rubbing the paint/corrosion away from main body.

I'll check my diameter tomorrow if it helps, not got a thread pitch measure though,

That's really usefull cheers bud. I found that bilstien is 52mmx1.5mm that's what I read anyways.

 

What I could do with is a set of stock front shocks, doesn't matter if they are goosed I only want to tar them to pieces and potentially use the strut top. I will reveal once in done how much using these skyline coilovers cost me.
