The White Knight

Thanks 75coupe, you have been helpful. I have been looking up posts on Bilstein and Whiteline setups. This looks promising, seeing as I pretty much have half of it done already. My only other concern would be buying bumpstops. I shall look into it. Thanks again

I think he has worded it wrong. I am not entirely clued up on suspension components, but from what I have gathered, he things the RHF strut is done, and the bump stop on that side can't be adjusted. I asked about throwing Bilstein shocks, new springs, boots and bumpstops in, but he seemed to think that wouldn't be the best option. I should mention that I completely trust this guy with my car, he has never led me down the wrong path, and he even suggested to find whatever I need (be it coilovers, or whatever) on the net or find the cheapest I can, then he will put them in. So with that, he isn't trying to push any particular brands or components. GTSBoy, I would go coilovers as a set, so I'd take out the rear Bilsteins. I may look at what 75coupe has suggested, as that seems the most logical seeing as I already have a good rear setup

To clarify (and maybe help me choose a cheaper option) my invoice that I received back from the mechanic states: 'Adjustment on R/H/F Strut in not reacting' 'R/H/F strut requires replacing'

Hello all, I am hoping to get some much needed advice in regards to my front suspention. I drive a '96 R33 GTST and over the past couple of months/weeks I have noticed a 'sag' in the front drivers side wheel guard. I believe it is a good 20mm difference between my front right side and my front left side height. This has become even more noticeable lately due to the rubbing of my tyre on the inner plastic wheel guard when I have close to full lock or go over speed bumps. Anyway, I took the car to my mechanic today to see what is going on. Apparently my bump stop on the right had side is failing to repond to raising attempts. I have been told that my left hand side is more rigid, and the right is soft, so the car will tend to rock to the right side (causing rubbing in some circumstances). I currently have Nismo shocks in the fronts. So, I have asked what my options are. I have been told that at the moment this isn't a major issue, and the rubbing is minimal, with no chance of and major damage being caused. I had the notion of getting new Bilstein shocks (which would match my rear Bilsteins) to see if that would help, but apparently it will have no effect as its the bump stop and springs that are keeping the car at that height. I have been advised to look at a coilover set. Tein Super Street coilovers or HSD's have been suggested. The only thing that is stopping me about going this route is a) the price, and b) do I really need this setup? Your suggestions and thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Sounds good guys. I'll have a look at the diameter of existing one and go from there. Prob need a new AFM anyway. Had issues in underground carparks (as well as other times) where my revs would fluctuate badly - from 200 to 1500, then car would stall when i gave it a little gas. Had it data-streamed but nothing came up.......weird. Hasn't happened in a while now though. Anyway, i'll take into account the advice given cheers

Hey all, I know its been discussed a billion times, but i'm in the need of a new POD Filter for my R33. I am looking at a K&N one, but have no idea which model to get. Any thoughts or suggestions? Cheers

PM sent

OK, I forgot I didn't sell these, lol Anyway, I need them gone Price - $150 Location - Mt Warren Park

Just PM me with a price and I'll get back to you

Hey all, I've got a set of stock r33 rims and tires for sale. They have been off my car for a while now, i thought i would use them one day, but i never will. I've attached some pics. I'm not exactly sure how much tread is on each tire, but if i had to guess, i'd say the two rims i had on the back have about 60 - 70% tread, and the two from the front have about 80%. See the images and decide for yourself. Not certain about what these go for these days, so any reasonable offer will be considered. Thanks

Hey mate, thanks for your reply. first of all, i probably can't borrow an AFM because all the people i know use their cars daily. I will read up on how to clean the AFM in a second, so that i can do. the cut outs are pretty normal, like i can feel the revs fluctuate, and i know that she will cut out soon enough. I can't really drop gears and smash it because it only happens when i'm idleing in the worst possible places, like in a drive thru, or underground carpark. anyway, the only thing i could do is nail in in first, but i'm never in the position to do that.

OK, i'll just see how she goes now. Thanks a lot for your help HypeR33, i really appreciate it

ok, i ended up winding it all the way in, but i honestly don't even know the difference between all the way in and all the way out. it seems to be a little looser all the way out, but not by a lot. i'm starting to wonder if the spring is even in there? its hard to find info on this BOV too

hey mate, do you increase the spring tention by winding the screw all the way in or winding it out? at the moment i think its out thanks
