2 holes sounds like gtr/gts4.. that wont fit. if your abs backets dont mount to your coil overs you can always just cable tie them to the coil overs. you just needa rember to cut them everytime you pull them out...

of course its safe. most modifyd cars will have atleast 1 cable tie involved in them. it doesnt affect how it works. you just securing it to the bottom of the shock.

look in the back passanger corner of your engine bay.. you will see a big silver pump thingy there. the otherway to see is slam on your brakes and see if your peddel kicks back at you...

coilovers are easy to fit...

i'm a bit weiry about these "coilover" packages. spring rates, rebound rates etc... unless they are designed for australian roads, it'll be pretty redundant to have them.

i'd be more inclined to opt for the australian tein spec coilovers or sydneykid's revalved suspension buy. for under $1700 you get castor/camber bushes, pineapples and adjustable height suspension with re-engineered valving. you cant go wrong.

really depends on your car application. i found that my standard springs and shocks (although hideous looking) had pretty good spring and rebound rates.

      Might import a stagea

      By iamhe77 · Posted

      Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.

      Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.

      Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By Duncan · Posted

      OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
