harsh ride? was considering a set myself, give you $5O if you're interested?

swaybar pretty much sold. Struts available, open to offers

Cairns, 4870. Struts cost me $35 to get here from Brissy, just as an indication of postage cost...can get a quote for anyone interested though obviously.

replied. These are all gtst, btw

So i have a couple of things to go for R33's - Whiteline non-adjustable 24mm front swaybar, part no- BNF24, with poly D bushes. Bar is fine, some paint scuffing and marking from being on the car but no dents or damage at all. D bushes are Whiteline items and still in vgc. Reason for sale is I have bought an adjustable version of the same bar as I plan on doing some track work and am after more fine tuning of the suspension. After $95 plus postage for this one. Happy to send a pic if you need. - front and rear KYB Excel-G struts, with new bump stops/dust boot kits. These are one step from brand new, just installed them on 22/03/11 and done about 100k's on them at the moment. Reason for sale is same as above, have changed plans for the car and looking to do track work with it, and these won't be firm enough for that, although are great for street/daily driving. Looking for $750 plus postage for the lot of these. PM me if you need any further info, thanks.

you know what, you're right - i do apologise. Good luck with your sale.

yeah but he's printed it out....and bound it ...surely that's got to be at least $98 worth lol. Anyone have the link handy, just to complete this thread? I probably need it to find out just what the hell i've been doing to my car

anyone know? need to know if they're the right thing to order, thanks

hey just wondering if these http://www.jdmobsess...ost-nissan-p-35 do the same thing as Whiteline pineapples? they seem to be alot cheaper, for more in the kit, with the Whiteline kit selling for over $100 from what I've seen.

actually, not really fussed about height adjustment, so i'm not shopping for springs. It's just that i have super streets in my other car, and like them, so would consider them for this car...wouldn't really be adjusting them at all after the initial fitting. Was trying to find a lower cost option though, like the kyb's. If i pay for bilsteins and springs, i might as well just buy a set of teins.

koni's are shit, yellows at least, that I have tried. I don't rate them at all. Bilsteins I have read are the bizz, but if I'm going to spend any more I would just get a set of Tein coilovers. Tein ss get a great rap for the performance edge...which i feel they deserve. However, my original post refers to the *quality* of the shocks, not the performance. I'm not confused about which one will give me better performance, for I know it be true that Teins will have the sportier edge. My r33 still has the original shocks after 103,000k's, no leaks, no knocks, which I am pretty sure are KYB's. That says a pretty solid build quality to me. As much as I like Teins, I have my doubts they will last that long..

what's the dimensions of this? kind of looks same size as an r34 intercooler

ok well I'll answer my own questions lol - best price I found for a set of the KYB's was $800, from GSA Wholesale in Brissy. Would mean paying the freight cost thought, but would still be about $100 cheaper. Guy there was very helpful too - the quality between the 2 is comparable, with KYB probably being higher/longer lasting ( this from talking to bloke at suspension place) - no idea as yet. Opinions on the board here seem to range from awesome to not a great deal of difference noted. Since it would be around the 200 mark to buy both kits, I might leave it and put the funds into the struts at this stage..

I would be very interested in reading your review once done; I've had my eye on the silicon intakes for a while. What is the reason for the metal rings, is it a strength thing? In my experience silicone pipes hold their shape very well, I would imagine much better than the flexible stock rubber pipe...?

Hey gangstas Looking to replace the shocks in my s2 R33 gtst, tossing up between Tein super streets and KYB Excel-G struts. Have super streets in my ST185 GT4 and found them an awesome unit for the price. Can get a set from perfectrun.com for $1700-ish delivered - the best price I have found for a set of the KYB's is around $1000, plus the cost of new bump stops, boots, set of spring compressors, so prob about $1100 all up. Not looking to do anything amazing with the car, just a nice streetable ride, so I'm thinking I would just be paying more for the Teins to get the adjustability of the height/damper settings, which I don't really need. The car is stock so far apart from 17x8 drifteks, front strut brace and factory rear strut brace, 20mm whiteline fixed swaybar on the rear, and 24mm whiteline adjustable swaybar on the front. So my questions - is around $1000 for a set of the KYB's a fair price, or can they be found cheaper? (have got similar prices from 2 places so far) and if so, who to call? - is the quality of the shocks comparable between the KYB's and the Tein super streets? - is it worthwhile fitting a subframe lock kit (pineapples), and castor rod bushes? Worthwhile meaning, is it something you would fit and go, goddamn, glad I spent the money and did that, or more like, hmmmmm, little bit better but not heaps. The superpro subframe kit looks to be much better value with 8 bushes for $80-ish as opposed to 6 in the whiteline kit for $100-plus, any real other difference between the 2 in terms of quality and performance? Any thoughts and opinions on the above would be appreciated

I've been pretty happy so far with my Toyo Proxes 4 that I've had on my 33 gtst for the last couple of months. 235/45/17 cost me $199 a tyre. However I have the Toyo Proxes T1R on my ST185 GT4 that are a far superior tyre for about 30 more a tyre, but not sure if they make them any more? (was told they don't)

yeah that doesn't sound like what I was looking for. Thanks for your thoughts/experience there. Was hoping someone might have tried putting in an r34 one or something, if they look any better, like the stagea ones, but not sure if they'll fit anyway.

Anyone have any suggestions on what to use to replace the standard t-bar auto shifter handle/knob on a series 2 r33? Looking for something a bit more sporty looking to mildly impress my occasional passengers. Any ideas on what will be a straight swapover/bolt-in? thanks

Looking for a Whiteline rear sway bar for the R33, not the x/heavy duty, but the 22mm thick bar, adjustable or non, not fussed...

looking for an R32 stock 10psi actuator in good working order, if anyone has one and is willing to post, feel free to pm me...thanks!

have pm'ed u about parts for sale

after just the turbo actuator if the turbo doesn't sell.....

pm'ed

it was done by autoterminal.com. spoke to the guy who is their Qld contact, he reckons they don't fit them anymore cause you can't buy leaded petrol anyway, and wouldn't fit one for me. From what i know though, they also stop the fuel nozzle from constantly clicking off when filling the tank cause they have the bypass vent built into them. So, bit peeved at their lack of commitment to a quality car lol, but what can you do....

oh ok, I didn't know about the pulling the TPS off part. Yeah my light is just a supercheap job too, hoping it will work on the looped wire but will see. Do you know which looped wire to use? as mentioned, there are 2 on mine. I'll try both I guess, but just trying to narrow it down
