i want to improve the suspension on the car, i dont want 2 use coilovers (2 stiff) just want a good shock and spring set up that would give the car a lower look and improve the handeling of the car, its not for drifting etc so no need for coilovers, i am going to install the rb25det, keep this in mind when recommending

thanks

Tein Super Streets... 5kg front, and 4kg rear spring rates.. Height adjustable.

Pretty good value too if I remember correctly... Bilstein option may be worth looking further into as well

Coilovers are only hard if you have hard springs in them. Mine arent too bad as my springs refect that. So you need to look at spring rate.

That said if you dont want coilovers thats fine. Id be going the bilstein option either way you run. They are the best bang for buck shock you can get (they are not the cheapest tho, just the next best is x4 or so the price). I've got them on mine and love them. If you want the bilsteins best bet is to PM Sydney Kid.

yea bilstein is the way to go .......i had my jic coilovers rebuilt with biltsetin inserts and softer spring was 8k front and 6 rear and swapped the rears in to the front and gots some new eibach springs for the rear and its is so much nicer now .....bilsteins made a huge difference.

i had initially just swapped int he softer springs but it was handling badly... but when the bilsteins went in it made a huge difference ....ie nice to cruise with... takes out the smaller bumpers but stiffens up heaps in cornering .....still alot firmer than stock though

    • HELP   Hey all, Is there an accelerator cable from another Nissan that can be used on the R33 GTST RB25DET with a Greddy forward facing plenum?  Thanks in advance  Rob 
    • Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?
    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
