Today i drove a r33 with a few simple mods, i think i was driving around 13psi. Because im looking around now for a 32 to buy i been driving a lot of them and there is such a difference between the engines its not funny. Makes me want to get a 33 but blah blah over power to weight and all that.

Well.......the one BIG difference is the extra 0.5ltr capacity of the engine, not to mention the modifications Nissan did from one model the next.

I remember the first Skyline I drove, it was at an import yard on Nepean Highway in Gardenvale (I think it is). I had a VERY clean 79 VB SLE and I test drove an 96 series II R33 - Non turbo. I was like PWOW! This this is fast.......Now I look back and think "That was fast.....compared to me VB".

It's always fun to drive a new car :(

yeh im going to say i like the 33's better i just sold my 32 and the increase in torque of the 25 is quite noticeable. i also like the styling of the series 2 better - bonnet and bar make it look aggresive and sleak

0 equaling very high care factor...

on a scale where 0= very high, and, 10= very low

WTF??? :laugh: What I was meant to be saying was people need to get over the whole power to weight thing, buy the car you want! As long as you dun drive it like a retard you'll rarely have a problem.....

      But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?

      Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.

      Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.

      Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
