The tyre doesn't touch the guard (no wear marks visible) but the shock absorbers completely bottoms out. If you have the front bar off you can fit your hand in behind in the strut assembly and feel there very little travel to the bump stop.
I guess a heavier rate spring would sought of solve the situation but the ride is already too stiff for me. Out of interest what be the spring rate of the whiteline items provided in the sk kit?
Hi guys,
I've currently got the sk suspension kit installed in my r33 gts-t and I'm having trouble with the front shocks not having enough travel, they bottom out on rough roads. The rear's do not do this even when the car is loaded with fuel.
I have cut the bump stops down to the point where they're nearly doing nothing and the height setting is only one circlip under sk's recommendation (which still isn't low at all).
Does anyone know if bilstein do a shock absorber with more travel and less height than the ones supplied in sk's kits? I'm really interested in finding a front pair if they're better suited as the current bilsteins really annoy me. I don't want my car excessively low, just the guard down to the top of the tyre.
Is there a size listing or catalog on bilstein shocks?
Brett.
PS I would have liked to contact sk about this but his inbox is always full
yeah 1j's are good for LHD cars. Not sure why'd you want to put one in any skyline as both motors are a straight 6, turbo, dohc, built fairly strong from factory. Seems like your taking the piss.
Get another quote from somewhere totally different and ask them to be very thorougher and to get all replacement parts costs genuine nissan rrp. I say this because if it is repaired it will never be the same, it's far better to be a write off and get paid out.
Probably do justice to ask people in the know who's the most expensive around your area so it can be classified as a write off. damage 80% and above of agreed value is a write off.
Not worth it, don't bother, I promise you for a car that you probably just drive to work every day it'll give you the shits. It won't change the look a lot probably look more derelict. And it's an r33 so seriously anything you put on has probably been done many, many times before and won't stand out.
My car came with the standard plastic type M bar and the car is slightly lowered and it still manages to scape on things and I'm careful. If you get a big stupid fiberglass front bar it'll crack and look poxy. If you do do it make sure you keep the original front bar.
It's really stupid and really lazy to spray under your bonnet, especially with modern cars. But then again if your a really lazy stupid person I'm sure it will be great for it
I would be prefer they increase luxury car tax than something that might actually affect me like registration costs.
You can't really trust the proverb of country that culls off human life.
6'2" no problem fitting in an r33 gts-t, although it's all a bit dicky feeling as the wheel is too far towards me, the gear stick is too far away and my knee's stick out the the footwell by a mile. You can tell these car's where designed for small people.

More boost! people run 14psi through they're standard turbo's. And given that you got restrictive standard manifolds that increase boost pressure but drop airflow you could run 20psi+ without worrying anything
Your bad fuel economy is due to your injectors, they're stupidly big for that amount of power. Its not going to change unless you change your injectors, 480cc s15 injectors would be much better for the application.
High knock levels at 1 bar is a bit weird, you haven't got an exhaust restriction to cause back pressure so it would have to be ignition timing. maybe your tuner needs to advance the ignition timing to safely increase boost levels.
