I need some help.

I've got some stock R33 GTS-t suspension which were missing a few bits.

Now I think I've got all the bits but I need to make sure I've assembled all the bits right !!

I don't want to put them in the car only to find out they knock and rattle cause I didn't assemble them right :P

If someone that has seen, or has stock shocks on their R33 GTS-t that can confirm the way they are put together, can have a look and see if it's right.

In this pic it's all assembled the way I think it should be !!

And in this picture all the bits are lined up in the order they are mounted - if it helps any....

Also (numb nut question of the day) the front and rear shocks are different sizes. Are the short shocks the front or the rear???

Thanks

Thanks heaps guys - your life savers :uh-huh: :uh-huh:

Just got to buy two more rubber bushes from Nissan (about $3 each) and then I'll be ready to look for some springs.

Oz Elite - nope, not me. I'm further down :( But it's more the right height that is a bit of a pain. The GTR front is really low, even with the car only 20mm lower than stock it's still only just legal.....

And if I wind the springs up on the JIC's it's just going to stiffen the ride up more. The JIC's would be great if your front spoiler doesn't come down as low as the GTR one does, or you didn't mind your car sitting at 10.5cm.. Maybe I'm getting too old?? LOL

So I'm going for stock shocks with 10mm lower progressive rate springs. It'll raise the car by 10mm and give this old man a boat like ride :)

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
    • Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
    • Hey mate, really appreciate the help. Have been looking pretty extensively myself and was certain they were retro fitted, but then ended up finding a 4 door with what looks like the same side skirts or at least the closest I’ve seen.
