  1. Fronts are the same (well close enough anyway). Rears are different and they won't fit (R33 shocks are 100 mm longer than R32's). cheers
  2. Are you talking standard springs and shocks or aftermarket springs and shocks? R34GTT's have slightly lower (~15mm) standard ride height than R34GT's. Other than that they are pretty mcuh the same. As for fitting (will they bolt in) I haven't checked the rear shock lower eyes/forks, so you will need to compare them. cheers
  3. Cheers One would be great...
  4. The standard shocks are not repairable. Try the Bilstein Group Buy for your particular model. cheers
  5. Nope, set it up even side to side, no driver. cheers
  6. I did this for a magazine article some time ago, the editor hated it because it showed a lot of his advertisers in a bad light. The idea was to take a $1600 coil over kit (not for a Skyline) and break its retail price content down to show what you get for $400 each. Then compare it to a Bilstein, Koni, Whiteline, Kings, combination for $400 per corner Coil over kit retail price breakdown; Strut top $60 Bump stop $15 Dust cover $8 Upper spring seat $20 Lower spring seat $15 Threaded sleave/case $30 Spring $80 Shock $172 Total $400 Bilstein, Koni, Whiteline, Kings; Bump stop $15 Dust cover $8 Spring $80 Shock $297 Total $400 It's easy to see that you get a 75% superior shock value ($172 compared to $297). The cost in a shock is the type of materials used (fairly minor difference) and the valving sophistication (where the real money is spent). For what you get, Bilsteins are the best value for money. cheers
  7. Freight is included cheers
  8. Hi Aaron, installing the rear subframe alignment bushes takes about 20 minutes, it's an easy DIY job and no "special" tools are required. Cheers
  9. PM sent cheers
  10. still searching
  11. From the album: Sydneykid's Gallery

    using standard strut legs
  12. Prices are on page 1 (the front camber kit has had a price reduction); Nissan Skyline R33GTST KCA331 Caster Kit $110.00 KCA348 Front Camber kit $183.00 KCA347 Rear Camber Kit $123.00 KCA349 Rear Subframe alignment kit $105.00 Freight $20.00 Sub Total $541.00 cheers
  13. The big advantages of a GCG ball bearing high flow; 1. Fits back on exactly as it came off, you don't have to make parts, buy parts or pay for parts. All the necessary gaskets and seals come with the turbo. Pay $1750 and that's it, fit it and tune for it. 2. The result is well known, stick some cams with the high flow, decent FMIC, injectors, fuel pump and 3" exhaust and you will get 265 rwkw if it is tuned correctly 3. More power than standard everywhere, that's from idle to redline. You have to be very good at choosing turbos to duplicate that. 4. Legal, not defects for fitting a high flow, looks exactly the same as a standard turbo. 5. It's a ball bearing water cooled core (not a plain bearing, oil cooled core). The advantages of an aftermarket (replacement turbo); 1. Any power output you like, trade off response and lag to max power to whatever level you want 2. All price ranges, plain bearing oil cooled turbos are cheaper than high flows 3. Cheap, second hand turbos are always available 4. High mount, external wastegate whatever you want/can afford 5. No guaranteed result, if you choose right you will get a good result, if you choose wrong you won't As they say horses for courses, if you are after a simple bolt, legal, no more to do solution and your power target is up to 265 rwkw then you can't beat a high flow. cheers
  14. 1. $10 2. Yes, spring seats are in a different place cheers
  15. Caster and camber, the way Nissan designed it Understeer is good for the Wallies When they rush up to a corner too fast, so understeer is better as it scrubs off speed Oversteer and Wallies don't mix, flying off backwards at undeminished speed is not good cheers
  16. Most cheap / road style shocks adjust the rebound only, which is what you want to stop the spring recoil oscilations. Try adjusting the shocks, don't just whack them on full hard and expect that to be "right". Maybe "right" is in the middle and "hard" is to far. Try a few settings and see what you can feel. cheers
  17. Plenty, check out the R33GTR & R33GTS4 Group Buy. cheers
  18. I don't have a Neo turbo to exchange, if you can find me one for a decent price, then I will organise the Group Buy. The Neo turbo has a larger turbine cover (same compressor) as the RB25DET (non Neo). Hence it is slightly slower to build boost, but it gives around 10 rwkw more max power. My R34GTT had more power everywhere (idle to redline) with the GCG ball bearing high flow on it than when it was stock standard, That was with 98 ron fuel, using 100 ron fuel would improve that even more because I can add a fair bit more ignition advance. I tuned an R34GTT with a GT30 last week and improved the 1 bar boost from 4,500 rpm to 3,800 rpm. So, as usual, it comes down to tuning. cheers
  19. There are still a few sets of R32GTST Bilsteins left, so a month, maybe 2. Cheers
  20. Because the standard rear bar is drastically too small. cheers
  21. Thanks for that mate, but really need 17s unfortunately... pity Those are also 6 spoke...
  22. I'll take an R32 one, thanks. cheers
  23. The current out of stock situation with R33GTST springs at Whiteline is expected to be fixed by late next week. cheers
  24. Yep, sorry about that, I received more than 100 PM's over the weekend, filled the inbox right up. Cleared a bit of space today, what is it that you want to know? Cheers
