AMR33

Will they get stiffer if I stroke them up and down? Thanks for the help mate. Will have a look at them soon and see where to go from there.

Alright. Is it possible to just buy the gear set (if thats what its called) and put it in an existing box/housing.

I see I see. Yes they could be stuffed. No, Im not 100% sure of condition. Will get in the garage over the next few days to do bits and pieces so will have a look. Anything in particular I should look for? Leaking oil etc? Cheers

Nice build mate. How much did the gear box shipping cost? I had a look at RHDJapan website and the box itself is around 1.6k aussie. Did they charge you much for shipping? Cheers Amir

Hey all, digging up this thread as I'm now having this problem after tracking the car. Can you post some pictures how you did this without changing the hub mate? And is 36209-70L20 the right part number for these? And should I order 3 from nissan? Cheers Amir

What are the spring rates on these?

Interested mate. Can you send me some pics. Either post on here or text me 0420 593 194 Cheers Amir

Hey all, looking for a set of coilovers to suit a SII R33. The car will see regular track time so I need something suitable. Amir

They'll be right. I run 17x9 (+25 or +22 cant remember for sure) and they are ok. They do not sit outside the fenders so your 8" wide rims should be ok Amir

Its an up and down rather than side-to-side movement. uhhh what now?

no HICAS mate, got the lock bar on. I was also considering aero, maybe a decent rear wing to give it some down force. But for now I think sorting out the suspension is the main priority. And you're right, its not a nice feeling at all. I find myself wanting to come off the gas as Im afraid the rear end will kick out and send me into the wall at 170+ Ks an hour. Cheers for the input Amir

very nice.

Cheers for the info mate. The straight Im talking about is quite smooth and doesnt really have bumps - but I seem to feel anything I go over as Im guessing the spring rate is too stiff. I'm not sure what the spring rate is but I can tell you it is very stiff - too stiff. I will look into what you said mate, its great info. I dont think there's much I can do till I get new suspension. Or is there?....

Nice build mate

PM sent good sir.

MORE.....MOOOOORE. Cool story bro. Kepp the updates coming. I am planning to head in the same dirction as you with power mods (highflow turbo, injectors etc etc). Which ECU did you opt for?

Cheers guys. I think it is too stiff. I got alignment done by Wheels World - Peter races in Targa etc and is quite knowlegable. He gave the thumbs up for ride height and tried to do the best allignment with the stock components. I agree that adding weight is silly in this instance but I did it to test for any differences. I am looking for new coilovers and other suspension bits to allow for adjustments so we'll see what happens. Meanwhile its good to get some input so cheers.

Hey folks, I noticed on the track that the back end of my R33 gtst feels a bight 'light'. What I mean by that is that if im coming down the straight doing around 160-170kms the back feels a bit bouncy and unstable. I've added a bit of weigh in the boot which seemed to help a bit. Any idea what could be causing this? My guess is that my suspension is simply not cutting it on the track. I currently have JIC height adjustable coilovers but will be considering upgrading when I have the money. Other suspension components (arms etc) are also stock. I lowered the car but dont want to go much lower as it seems to be at good height. If you guys have any thoughts please let me know. Cheers Amir

I'd also like to know that, especially after reading the BC thread. Amir

Anyone doing the sprints at Kwinanna? They start 6/11 Amir

Yeah I was just exagerating to make a point. Tires are one one of the most important thing mate so it's a good thing taking your time to choose. I've learnt the lesson to never skimp on tires. Mind you my daily e36 bmw runs on Bob Jane Xenons and lets just say its like riding on plastic, wet or dry.

Does the gauge come with everything needed for install? Are you happy to ship to Perth metro area PC 6028? Amir

That's right mate. Even wet weather tires don't like 1m puddles. So just avoid them as much as possible I guess. Or you can get a 4x4. But even with 'normal' everyday winter puddles, I think you'll find the Rs A ok. Amir

Looks good
