Can anyone recommend suspension modifications for an R33 GTS25T for track days, ie., Supersprints? Better still can anyone recommend a Skyline specialist to do the work? I live near Nowra but I guess I would have to go to Sydney to get same.

I have fitted 17x8's with 235x45x17 street legal competition tyres but the car has stock springs, shocks and ride height.

Hi Paul SM,

Whiteline have a suspension kit, details on the web site. 2Rismos car was the development car so you might want to pm him to see what he thinks about it. The kit should be able to be sent to pretty much any suspension shop since the developments already been done.

I have the Whiteline kit im my R32 GTSt, and very happy with it. If you are looking for a road car setup that will look after you on the track then it is a good compromise.

That said i drove an R33 with Nismo castor rods and susension arms, with HKS coil overs... and oh my god. On normal road rubber i was matching, on some corners quicker then the corner speeds in my car with semi slick tyres. But rides pretty hard on the road.

Either way speaking to whiteline would be a good place to start, i understand they are a distributer for Drummond coil overs as well if you want to get really serious. They should be able to find a setup to suit you.

Thanks Roy,

I have already been pointed in the Whiteline direction by two other members and have acted immediately. I had the full kit - springs, shocks, bushes with caster camber adjustment and adjustable bars installed by Selby South Coast.

July 20 and 21 at Winton will be the acid test.

P.S. you're right about the ride - it's very firm but I guess I'll get used to it.

    • It was roughly 3.5 hours.    car went in around 11:00 and I was done around 2:30 He did the initial runs, install the BC and then Nistune install and tune.  The best part was sitting in the lobby and hearing the skyline on full throttle at the dyno 😂😂
    • Glad it all went smooth. How long did the tuning process take?
    • Yeah that was kind of the same feedback my tuner gave me.  the boost tee is until I can sort out my plan for the electronic boost controller and what I’d get, where I’d mount the dash etc.  I’m happy with this until I can figure it out. Not a big fan of the A-pillar gauges. I’d like to get a clean install of the boost gauge - something digital like GFB.  Something like that might fit neatly where the ashtray is and look clean. I feel like replacing the OEM triple gauge is a bit extreme for a weekender like my skyline. And it’s not making crazy power to need all the additional sensors/gauges. 
    • I'm about to swap my box to Tremec T56 Magnum F & initially thinking of re-using my DCS twin plate (can get it re centred for the bigger spline) but it's been called out the box will be noisy (rattle) as the clutch is unsprung.  So I'm doing as much research as possible. I'm not so worried about holding the power as I'll go the track version which on paper will hold the maybe 1000hp I make. It's the longevity I worry about. DCS told me they don't use a sprung centre as it's just something that can break. The uni clutch has a very complicated sprung centre. Any one had or heard about any issues with it failing? Thanks in advance.
    • Auto is at least 10% (from my real, actual experience with different torque converters and manual on the same setup) ~185rwkw at 11.6psi (peak!) is entirely what one would expect without a FMIC or anything else on the intake, it does bleed off towards the higher RPM so it's what, 9psi there? Note: There is nothing that can be done about this with a manual boost tee. If you want to hold it steady and gain more top end, well - You will need electronic boost control.....
