WTB 1995 (S1.5) R33 driver's door. Shell preferred, straight. Half the R33s in Sydney are white, so I'm just hoping to get a white door with nice paint and no dings. Or any other colour door really, but white saves me a lot of work. cheers Z

R33 Solid Adjustable Castor Rods

The ride height is standard. When I bought it it had unmarked stock wheels, but I suspect the previous owner has hit the gutter and bent the front end a bit. I've had a look at whiteline but their camber kit KCA348 is not in the catalog anymore?? It gives +- 1 degree so it should be enough to get both sides to 1.5 deg negative. cheers Z

I just had a wheel alignment done on my stock R33 gtst. They appear to have not adjusted the camber, which I thought was adjustable on this car. The camber is about 55min L and 2.03 deg R... Or is a $55 wheel alignment just toe on the front wheels these days? Z

How much work is installing water-air intercooling in a stock R33 s1.5? I have to cut the front bar to get a fmic in, so maybe water with the heat exchanger where the stock smic goes will be asier, no cutting. The autospeed article http://autospeed.com/A_107760/cms/article.html (might be subscriber only) makes it sound easy (don't they always), and some of the bits are on ebay or at http://www.frozenboost.com.

Could we have some detail on the wheels (width) and maybe a better picture of them? Tyre type & size? Ta Z

Auto Trans Not Working On Tj Magna
zakalwe replied to dnbutts's topic in General Automotive Discussion
A buddy's Magna had the same symptoms, it was a large electrical connector that was loose. This connector was round & plugged into the transmission, probably had all the smarts passing through it. Good luck finding it! Z -
R33 Stock Suspension Replacement Shock Advice
zakalwe replied to zakalwe's topic in Suspension, braking and tyres
Looks like Bilsteins are the go, group buy price (2005) $486 x 2 = $972 + fitting which is more than I'd hoped but that's cars. It's done 100,000k; the shocks are over it - and the car feels flabby as you'd expect. What I'm aiming for is stock feel or a little bit tighter. For all the goat tracks in Sydney I drive on. Budget is always a factor , the KYB option looks worth exploring. I've had enough experience of Konis & other adjustables to not go there again. Sydneykid, is the group buy price still valid? Are the Bilsteins valved for the stock spring rates or the springs in the kits? Is there a basic type Bilstein for less money? thanks guys Z
