-how does mifiring manifest itself in your ears as you drive?

-if your R33 is lowered 30mms does it need camber correction kits?

-with just a zorst and Front mount, at what psi would you have to regap from 1.1mm to stop misfiring?

-what gap would you use?

-MotoX - what is the 104 offset you were talking used for?

-So as to stay true to the thread, I will say this:

I have got two quotes for $1400 for bilstein shocks and kings for R33. Is this good? Where is a good suspension place?

-Hey RB26dett - how many kms have you had your HKS cam gears on for?? How you found any wear? Apparently they wear bad after 6000-10000 kms.

:boobs:

Enough Questions?

had the cam gears on for about 2000ks??

i read somewhere they wear out too, but i hope they wun...they seem to be able to hold 1300hp in the HKS drag car so i hope they'd be of a relatively strong build.

apparently, they're not mass produced like other makes. they wait for enough orders before they start up the machine, so they're always pretty new.

and slip...it does feel bulletproof, but takes a hell long time to master

No u dont need a camber kit, ur wheels will have a slight camber but the wear is more even and it takes the same time to wear. If ur going more then 30 mm then yes a camber kit would be a good idea, as well as aftermarket shocks

ummm jsut got back from the tyre shop.

my cars low, the lowest point is 7cm. anyhow i was talking to the guy, known him for ages, and he said there isnt much point in a camber kit, only make my car handle worse around corners.

he charged me $15 for a wheel alignment. nice bloke

I agree the guys at Toombul Bob Jane, so far, I have found excellent to deal with.

Just installed my new gearstick boot from JAY95R33 yesterday and it looks pretty good, just got to do the handbrake now. If anyone has crappy boots I recommend PM ing for the next batch. Definitely good value! Nothing like the smell of real leather!

Mick got a couple of tyres and allignment at Toombul all up price turned out to be the same as our local Bob Jane. Price on the tyres was the same as phone quote from 3 other Bob Janes, so where is the advantage??

    • Kinkstah, no, coilovers aren't illegal, especially as a bolt straight in. The illegal part will be if they're altering suspension geometry beyond factory limits, or the ride height is not legal.   Sounds like the blue slipper just didn't want to deal with any later possibility of mods appearing on the car.
    • The problem has always been that coilovers are able to be adjusted, almost at any time, to be too low. Most people who ever get/got defected for/with coilovers were actually afoul of the minimum ride height rule. So the interpretation by cops/inspectors was always that it is pointless to allow numpty to raise his coilovers and get the car inspected/cleared, then just drop them back down again as soon as they get around the corner from the inspection station.  This led to the interpretation that they were illegal unless rendered such that they can't be adjusted (ie, collars welded to the body, that sort of thing). That may or may not have ever actually been the official line, but I'm pretty sure it's not considered to be a solution these days. Coilovers themselves fall under clause 3.2 b of that manual, because they are an "installation of a variable ride height system" and they don't fit the exclusions in that clause (which point to air springs and other pneumatic adjusters). So, as per previous statements, they require engineering cert to be legal on the road. Once you have such cert, provided you do not adjust them outside the height range covered by the cert, you are OK. Without, you have an unroadworthy vehicle.
    • Here E10 is the cheapest fuel. And general advice is to not use it unless you hate your car. From what I remember it clogs up stuff in the fuel system or injectors?  With US/Canada being E10 across the board, does that mean that all fuel there is terrible?
    • Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW ) Edit: I checked. They aren't. https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-infosheet-light-vehicle-modifications-manual-suspension-and-ride-height.pdf
