grinder if u wanna go really dumped...

check out SydneyKid on the Group Buys section of the For Sale part. he has excellent R33 suspension upgrades.

i thought that if you take a grinder to springs they can bend out of shape or sumthin?

backyard + grinder.

haha yeah if you want cheap...then as Mitchy said.

By far the cheapest, but not necessarily the best :huh: by cutting the spring you are reducing the bump height, and the standard spring rate might not be enough to cope with roads. If you want to just go springs, buy a set of heavy duty super lows that have the spring rate to cope with the reduced travel :P

I am sure it's also illegal to have cut springs :)

when doin springs change shocks as it f*kts the ride of the car makes it soft

or go coilovers like teins or jic

i got D2s on atm and they are shit as some can maybe tell u

I have D2's on mine now too after my JIC's shat themselves. Definitely not as stiff a ride now...not sure whether to rebuild my JIC's and try and sell the D2's, or sell my JIC's as they are and let someone else rebuild them and use them :(

Jaker, Does repco fit? Does repco align? Can repco tell me the spring rates? Can repco give me any details at all of the EXACT result of the "Custom King Springs"? Can Repco design me a set of springs to my EXACT requirements? To say your better than "any sespension shop" is a very big call, especially when you struggle to even spell Suspension correctly. My suggestion if you definately want King Springs, off the shelf or custom, would be to contact Wilkinson Suspension as they have been the distributor for kings for a lot longer than repco. (and happen to be a SAU Sponsor)

Just my 2c

Im not saying that were better, im saying our prices are half the price.

All you have to do is go into a shop like Wilkinsons and tell them what you want and they will tell you what rate and height you need.

Repco can fit, spring rates, yes we can cause you tell us if you want customs, EXACT, of course you knob because you tell us what you want. WTF do you think CUSTOM means, as i said there are off the shelf and then their are custom springs.

At the end of the day how hard is if to install springs, if you cant do it go to wilkinsons to get them to install them. All im trying to say is we can get them cheap, sorry to stand on a few toes for helping out. Most staff at repco might not know how to help you out, but me and my mate know skylines, so no harm in getting a quote.

      Gates is saying the same thing. They think I have the right bag with the wrong hose in it... I bought it off amazon, I'm thinking someone pulled a good old swapparoo and returned normal hose. Well looks like she's coming back out... Not very lucky with this hose lol.

      Chatting one someone recently at racing them at QR. They say you can't take turn 2 in one flat stick in 4th. They don't have the torque to pull them selves straight, so make sure you're ringing it's neck out in 3rd instead

      Should you buy cheap Chinese tyres?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Many years ago when I bought my FG XR6T, it came with bald tyres on the back (think pretty much smooth for most of the tread) and brand new Kinforest cheap shit tyres on the front. In the rain, I had more grip in the bald ass tyres on the back, than the brand new Kinforest. To the point you couldn't drive off at a set of lights and turn the corner. Car would only go straight. Very quickly all four tyres were replaced.   A few years back on a VF SV6 I had, it came with brand new chineesium tyres. In the wet at 90kmh, old 1990s tray back tradie utes could corner faster than me. There was one corner on a freeway, in a 90 zone, it's not even marked to reduce speed for those curve, it's not a hard corner, I could put the LandCruiser on mud tyres through with ease (it would easily do the corner in the wet I reckon at 120kmh), the VF however couldn't get through it at 80, as it would want to slide out.   Cheap tyres aren't worth the risk. I like decent brakes, and decent grip.

      Anyone here a submersible fuel hose expert? I pulled my hanger out again for unrelated issues and noticed the hose I popped on last week has already swollen. This is Gates 27093 submersible hose. I've waiting on a response from Gates, but this surely can't be normal? This is on pump gas, not E85.  Is swelling a tad possibly normal? I've also been fighting with my power steering belt.... I've now tossed one and killed two. I just realigned my pulleys again, hoping this time it stays on. It doesn't like high rpm.
