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 :)

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
