coilvers are a whole strut/srping replacement.

basically its a perfectly match strut and spring, but all gives you things like hieght adjustment, damper adjustment(how hard/soft the bounces are) and high end ones give rebound adjustment too (how much it bounces)

personally, id reccomend the D2's for a good cheap street coilover.

teins are quite stiff, however they have just released a 'softer, australian version' they are still quite expensive.

ive got teins in my car, whilst it handles like a dream on flat surfaces, find some bumps like a normal road and it can be quite a handful.

ask wilkys what they reccomend coilover wise for a street driven 2 (i assume you dont take it to the track much, if at all) and get a price off that.

getting springs may be all you need, i dont know how 'hardcore' you want to go with your car(track/street/show?) but coilovers are definately a good handling mod.

my car was used for a bit of drift over in jah-pan.

so it came with alot of adjustable goodies.

coilovers are a good choice if thats your plan, but then you can always get the springs, and sell them at a later date for a setof coilies.

Call them up and ask. Speculating isn't going to get you permits.

Since I have been over the pits a few times already, the dude has said

"You are not getting this car on the road with out permits for: ... ... ... ... ... ... ... "

Hey i just rang up the licensing centre regarding legal wheel widths and apparently theyre a bit flexible on the width just as long as the track distance doesnt change more than 25mm. So if i get some wheels with the same offset as the factory wheels my track distance should stay the same regardless of the wheel width, right?

    • Those Efi bulkhead terminals have been in the car for about a year now, they are perfect.  So, upgraded wiring, relay mod, uprated terminals and you can run that pump flat out all the time no issues. 
    • YES. If you have a walbro on stock wiring gauges it WILL melt. Perhaps if you are some level of amazing crimping genius it may not. It may seem fine for ~8 years with bulkhead connectors and then melt when you're interstate in NSW and need a 1000km tow home after waiting 10 hours. Ask me how I know. This depends on whether your car is stockish, or whether you need to keep it going in the meantime. Depends on the power you want. The JJ DeatschWerks kits can utilize (and do) stock wiring/pump/plugs. They won't do much more than 320 (?) kw on depending on your boost level and E85 use. They flow more on 98.  If you need more than that... and have the cash and are going to do it anyway? Do it now. I would not be putting a Walbro 525 in my car without some upgraded AN fittings/bulkheads/etc that Frenchies use. just do the FPG hat/bulkhead fix at the same time and never worry once you put it all back together and have peace of mind.
    • Hi all have owned my series 1 r33 gtst for 3 years. When I picked it up it wasn't running, but have slowly fixed things during those years. Finally starting to get more time for my r33, currently in the process of sorting rwc and club rego.  I have no real mechanical experience so ive just been learning through youtube and these forums. Just hoping to restore this car and learn alot from everyone in the process
    • Hi guys my 94 r33 gtst fuel pump has gone out. I have a walbro 525 ready to go in but am unsure if I need to upgrade the fuel tank bulk heads? Ive heard that others have issues with the stock wiring melting... Ive seen alot of people recommend this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-nissan-skyline-r33-r34-silvia-s14-s15-billet-fuel-tank-bulkhead-hat-top-an6-with-high-current-connector-apex-2-8-delphi-fpg-100?variant=42873255198898 My current pump that stopped working is aftermarket but I had no relay mod or upgraded connectors. Need some advice please. TIA
