I have to say, the content you're bringing, the careful documentation, clear photography, and perfect pace make your videos so enjoyable😊
wow, thansk so much. I really appreciate the feedback. thanks for watching
@@inkandpistonsHi, great work finding alternative parts possibilities, one note though, if not done already, when you go to change the spring's,..
Please paint the drilled out holes in the chassis topmounts to try and prevent future rust there, and of you could use a tiny little bit of a grease smudged into the each mount's bolt holes around the bolt to hole gap with a cocktail stick,
.. before the washer and bolt'a nut are eazh placed on top and torqued down to remove any space for air or water to be trapped by the wahser and the threadlocked nut.🤗😅
Also maybe get your alignments double checked & adjusted as well since you did have to drill out the bolt holes slightly.
The new heavier front Silvia springs could be used as rear springs if you envisage using the mini/super-carry van as a frequent passenger vehicle, perhaps ?
@@razor1uk610 good points. I did paint. Just didn't photo. But the grease is a great idea. I did get it realigned but it was already dead nuts.
@@razor1uk610 possibly.. I don't really plan on moving much cargo peoples or otherwise. But good thought on the Silvia springs
Ive been confused on how people have done this. Thanks heaps for the clear explanation, It's put it back on the To-do list.
@@TheFortWall no problem! Glad to help. Yeah I turned down the pressure adjustment on the top of the shock and it made it way more soft, to the point where I probably won't even swap springs
Hate to hear that the van has been a headache .. great video as always !
Thanks. I think I got it sorted all out finally 🤞
Hey man ! I know its been a while , but hopefully you remember me telling you that you helped me pull the plug to import a Kei truck .. fast forward , go check out the build in my previous video’s ! You may enjoy it knowing you helped fuel the fire 🔥 Much Love from here in Jacksonville !
@@Dakota-ish hell yeah, that's looking awesome. Gonna check out the videos today love that color!
@@inkandpistons its crazy what your videos could do for other people ! Im just an example . Thank you for the dedication and love you portray with these .
@@Dakota-ish dude, I really appreciate it. I really do enjoy sharing these little guys. The interior looks awesome on the acty.. and that paint is still fucking killer
Just wanted to say thank you for the info! I installed the s13 coilovers on my carry today and it fixed my death wobble.
Wohoo! glad it worked! How is the ride? Little stiff? I'm still researching spring options
@@inkandpistons I actually like the way it rides out of the box. I think I’ll keep it the way it is. I have a lift on mine. So I didn’t actually have to enlarge any of the holes on the body side. My lift just bolted right up to the coilovers.
@@user-wu4ko9gt8b Nice! It's awesome to hear it works with the lift also.
Loving the mini car and truck content, I hope you keep it coming! Learning so much from these videos.
yup for sure some more stuff coming!
thanks again!
I've been looking at fitting S13 coilovers to my Carry and you've convinced me they'll fit so I have just ordered a pair! Also good info on the brakes
Right on good luck. Let us know if it worked out ok
@@inkandpistons yeah, trying to source some softer springs too
Thanks been tryna search for coilovers but couldnt realy fone anything
@@Skuikidigitz yeah hard to find any info anywhere on these things
Great video and very informative. I wonder how this swap would work on a Subaru Sambar,
KS4
I think somebody did a Sambar swap but I don't remember what they used as the source coilovers. I'll see if I can find it..
@@inkandpistonsThank you for checking on that and for all the knowledge you share in K vehicle.
@nealgold8442 looks like it's 2 bolts maybe the miata or some civics have similar layout.. I'll look into it more.. later see if I can find out.
There are coilovers for suzuki mini van. I just installed one on my mini van. No convertions needed.
Yeah I know. If you watch the video The whole point was they were way more expensive, not easily available, and I was getting them to trouble shoot an issue.
Very good video and many thanks for the information! Lots of info in Japan about the S13 conversion, but not too much here. I am considering the Spiegel coilovers on my Every, as it is a front and rear set. However, like your S13 ones, the spring rate is too stiff....So, I will probably have to buy softer springs as well......Glad this fixed your death wobble!
Actually, I was very happy to see the Esteem brake conversion! I have been waiting for someone to show it in detail. Thanks! Did you replace the wheel bearings with new or just re-use the Every ones? Again, great video👍
Oh awesome I haven't been able to find front and rear for the speigles. I have a set of 5k springs on order from Max speed. Better then 8k but may still be too stiff. I might even be able to flatten the end out and use the stock spring. At least I know the rate is good on that one. Yeah the brake conversion was easy peasy other than the caliper position. I reused the bearings after I checked them out they looked almost new just lubed them up good and went with it..
@@inkandpistons I will be inquiring with Spiegel in Japan to find out if the full kit is still available.....We'll see. Definitely softer springs will be needed for me, though.....Kidneys are getting too old. haha. Glad the esteem brakes worked out. I will be going that route for sure. Thanks again.
@@florida__jack lol I feel you on the kidney action!
@@inkandpistons Good morning sir. Quick question....Your wheels do not rub on the van body, correct? I am trying to measure fitment for wheels that I am buying for my Every.....Thank you!
@@florida__jack well define rub.. lol, no not really. So there is a slight rub on the left wheel on the mud guard full lock wheels pointed to the left but only in reverse backing up. And an even less slight rub full lock right going forward. Very very minimal.. it actually happened on the stock shocks and new coils.. but with stock shocks the would rub on front side at the part that wraps under the body.. again very minimal. I think how much weight in the car would effect it.
the truck with the same suspension setup doesn't rub at all anywhere..
I have a video when I put the wheels on (I think it's called living with a kei truck 10 pros and cons) that has all the wheel and tire specs.. But I believe they are 15x8 plus 20 offset with a 195 45 15 tire.. double check that video
What springs did you go with and where did you get them? And thank you for the Brake tip. I also could not bleed them correctly after putting the new calipers. I tried everything and learned just to live with it.
Glad the brake to helped. The springs are the 8k cheapest here but the 8k is too heavy I haven't replaced them yet with lighter ones but 4-6k should do they only need to be between 250 -300lbs springs www.maxpeedingrods.com/product/2x-front-coilovers-shock-absorbers-for-nissan-s13-240sx-1989-1993-adj-damper.html
@@inkandpistons I've been searching for the right springs but haven't found anything under $180 or so. Let me know if you have a lead on the $60 -200lbs spring. Thanks again.
@@troykatt05 I originally contacted Max racing and they said they had one but then after waiting a few weeks they said they didn't have it in stock so I'm still searching too. I think I'm going to try to reinstall the stock springs on the car in the next couple weekends when I get a chance
@@troykatt05 another guy in my group said that he was able to find an 8-in spring and preload it. I'll find out what version he got. I think he said his were 5K which should work out to about 300 lb
He said he grabbed Swift springs. I found those too they are just not cheap about 180bucks
I drive a 92' dc51t truck but i measured my top hats to be 105mm apart, so annoying. Where did you find the measurements for the top stuts for other cars? Finding it tricky
That is correct mine are too. the bolt circle is a circle that hits each bolt in the center but left side to left side of each bolt is approx 105-104 sorry if I wasn't clear on that.
@@inkandpistons oh mad, that means the coilover conversion is still a go for me. Thanks heaps for the info in the vid!
@@jamestonien8877 no problem good luck. I'm still looking for a suitable spring alternative. Going to try the stock springs first. Then I found a possible option from eibach and swift
