coilovers.

[midnightsliding]

dose anyone know for a fact that the skyline coilovers work on a Q, im looking at 89-93- or a 94 ,95 if i can find one for a good deal.thankswes

[gniknave]

I doubt it. I mean they might bolt directly, but they'll be signifigantly short, plus you'd have to make it fit into the Q45 strut mount somehow to match the holes. Then again I could just be talking out of my arse. I'll let somebody that's actually tried this application answer your question.

[midnightsliding]

thanks for the info i jsut heard a rumor about them working but i dont want to spend 2k on them and they not work.

[elwesso]

I dont see why they wouldnt work, the mounts are the same (R32 vs Q45)...

[midnightsliding]

I dont see why they wouldnt work, the mounts are the same (R32 vs Q45)...

so they would work ? R32 if so that will be awesome.

[elwesso]

id talk to TMS and see if he coudl ship you set of crapped out ones and see if that works.....

[midnightsliding]

i mean if u say the mounts are the same y wouldnt they work?

[elwesso]

All im saying that id hate to see someone drop some serious money on a set of JDM R32 coil overs and have htem not work. I think they will but i also thought the Z32 springs will work, i was wrong about that.

[midnightsliding]

i found a set of buddy club full coilovers their F12k/R10k or 12, and 15 way adjustable damping for 1500. i might get those and try them out when i get back and get a Q. thats the frist big guy right their.

[anotheraznguy]

sorry to bring back an old post, but was wondering if you had ever ordered those coils and installed it on your car.

[heywier427]

im slowly working on making a set of adjustable tokico conversions. i made myself a set but they are not easy or adjustable. i just banged off the plate that the spring sits on and very slowly and carfully welded them back on 3 inches lower. if you dont have welding experience DONT DO THIS the shock will explode if not carefull. im currently threading a tube to press over the shock and then will use two bolts, one on top of the spring seat and one on the bottom for the adjustment. this will be a much safer and easier conversion for all who wants their car droped to the freaking ground. im going as fast as i can guys but im not a smart man so bear with me. see ya!

[chinaonnitrous]

Definatly sounds interesting.....would you post pics of your progress?

[kimrober]

JIC Magic makes adjustable coil-overs for G50 Q45s at around $1700.

[chinaonnitrous]

Screw JIC magic......Horrible customer service.

Hate to say it, but Ive had more than 1 bad expereince, as well as 2 of my close friends

Even Blackbird VQ has had problems.

[heywier427]

i only see coil overs for 9496 qs will these fit one the 9093? id feel safer with somthing real than my jimmy rig and there not going to last forever.

[pdqwrx]

Why buy coilovers that probably won't work for a car that you don't even own?

Not to be a pill, but buy your car then buy your suspension. As for coilovers, buy the JIC because they WILL fit the car.....

who are u talking to ive owned my 91 q for 6 years i ve made so much custom stuff for these cars its stupid and its not clear if jic will work for the 90 93s they say fitted for 9496 but the struts n shocks are the same for both years. does anybody know if the 90 93 strut mounts are the same as 9496 mounts. thank you

[chinaonnitrous]

Ive seen a yahoo japan auction with a older q with no front grille advertised with JIC magic Coilovers. they showed a pic of the inner wheel well, and the JIC's were in there.

[heywier427]

thanks you said you had bad cust service what was it over was it serious is it worth buying the coilovers in your opinion thanks

My Q has some height adjustable JIC Magic coilovers.. So i'd say they're the same as the 94-96.

[chinaonnitrous]

Warranty is ****ing stupid. End story.

Many people have had JIC warranty issues.

If that is not a concern for you, and waiting weeks for a PAID replacement shock is not a problem, go for it! Its a great system.

[heywier427]

can u get a good drop with them. if you adjust them all the way down what do you think the height would be from the ground to the door sill thanks. im still working on my own set till i find out all the specs everyone.

thanks, but righjt now im on the road and poor right now

[qsiguy]

midnightsliding, Off subject but is that your black Q in your signature? If so what model, size, offset, etc. are those rims and tires, I love them!

[midnightsliding]

naa its a JP car. its badass but not mine.

[gen_d_tune]

Well has anyone yet to find out if R32 gt-s coilovers will fit?

[G50 Q]

I doubt it. I mean they might bolt directly, but they'll be signifigantly short, plus you'd have to make it fit into the Q45 strut mount somehow to match the holes. Then again I could just be talking out of my arse. I'll let somebody that's actually tried this application answer your question.

FYI r33 (gts) coilovers are longer than r32 also, the mounting point are exactly the same on a r33 (gts) as a g50. I will be putting my roomates coilovers off his r33 on my Q in the next couple weeks, to see if they will work, I will let you know how it works out.
