i think the sk group buy on springs and shocks allows you to use standard height on whiteline springs via circlip adjustment.

I've looked in to that. They still sit at around 350mm from memory which is too low. Well its not but it is to mr police officer.

You can have another groove placed in it but 'apparently' the springs become a little noisy due to the lack of compression or something.

Not sure. Bl4ck32 is soon to do it so that will be the deciding factor.

The whiteline shocks/springs from whiteline them selves handle really well with the stock sway bars on the r32's.

Unsure how sk's setup works but bl4ck32's sits really nice, neutral balanced.

Even though difficult to compare the 33 to the 32.

How do you find the car is balanced? Understeer or over?

The way it is now the front never pushes, it will always start stepping out the rear slowly and predictably. :S

Did you go sway bars as well?

I'll move this shit in to another thread.

haha, yeah, i was thinking we were going a bit offtopic. it has a nice firm feel to it but without being too harsh on the bumps. i previously had jap branded coilovers that were ok when on a flat surface, but i dreaded bumpy roads. the front end feels like it grips much better on uneven sweeping corners now.

i got the adjustable swaybars too, ive set the front to medium and the rear to hard, which gives a more oversteer feel, i played with settings a bit, but thats the one i like the most. i also installed front and rear strut braces, hicas bar, subframe locks, front camber kit and most of the old bushes replaced.

ps, just looking at your avatar pic, your 32 looks pretty low, is that stock height?

ill be machining a groove to suit the legal std height in the bilsteins i have in the car now. If the springs in there now wont suit, ive got a set of std height springs i will be slapping in anyway to take up the slack.

You can use standard springs with the Sydneykid shocks, the standard groove gives you the standard height. I recently PMed Sydneykid as i need new shocks and want to upgrade the handling a bit.

My goals were

1 - replace shocks

2 - improve handling

3 - not scrub tyres

4 - spend no more than $1500

His advice was to get the shocks as stage 1 and then swaybars and a castor kit as stage 2. I was origionally looking to get springs aswell but now i think i'll follow his advice.

All this was for a R33 gtst but i'm guessing it's the same across the board, pretty much anyway.

Just off of the phone with regency, supposidly the legal/std height for an r32 gtr is 365 for the frount and 355 for the rear. does this sound right to anyone? i heard regency height is more like 372 or 375... anyone able to confirm etc? or should i just take random guy @ regencys word for it? (i might have to do my suspension in the next couple of weeks to get the car past regency, looking at using sk's kit)

thanks

everytime ive been thru regency, they have never checked eybrow to centre distance. If the slide thing clears everythin under the car, then ur pretty much ok.

What im saying, is a few mm, ie 10mm shouldnt bother them.

hate to burst your bubble, but i was defected (and still are) for 5mm too low on the rear and 10mm on the front. It states it on the defect form, so they will be checking when i go through. Ive had them pull out the tape in the past as well.

      Recomended Coolant For Gt T R34

      By silviaz · Posted

      What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.

      R34 GTR running rich and noisy turbo coincidence

      Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!

      R34 4 door side skirt identification

      By Rezz · Posted

      No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.

      Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
