Hi everbody.

does anyone in SA have stock R33 front and rear struts that they are willing to sell? condition doesnt really matter.

cheers

Sam.

Struts? Skylines don't have struts, leave them for cheaparse Silvias and Dunnydores. Do you mean dampers and springs?

Darren - yep i went ahead with bilstein & whiteline gear, but i need the tops of the stock suspension to finish it all off as i have aftermarket tanabe coil-overs in atm.

Duc - would be good if we could swap somehow. probably would need both cars on axle stands at once though. are you busy this weekend? we could switch em over.

Freebaggin - yep i meant dampers & springs.

what day are you think sam? sunday i work until 1-2ish. sat, i should be free all morning. friday, i wont be free until 5pm. my damper + srpings are still in excellent condition. oh, i need to fing my lock nuts if im going to take my wheels off.

In that case, we can put your new suspension set up at my place. definately bring stands, as Ive only got car ramps and jack. I'lk ask someone if they have car stands I can borrow, rather have too many then not enough.

Sam, you just need the Strut Tops, and bump stops if you didn't get new ones thru the group buy, so you should widen your search to incl. any blown shockers too.

Also if you need car stands, i have a pair you can borrow, and Darren has a pair too which I'm sure he's willing to lend you.

And you'll need spring compressors to take apart the stock susp. if you don't have them, you can borrow mine :O

Hi Ash, yep i ordered new bump stops & dust covers, just need the tops, so i'll just use the ones off Ducs stockers.

ive got some spring compressors too, so thats cool.

cheers mate.

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
