Need somebodies help fitting coilovers! Please!!


Recommended Posts

G'day All,

Hope everyone is well. I need somebodies assistance in changing my standard suspension off a R33 GTST and replacing it with a set of Tein's.

Can anybody help me!?!? Just for some background. I've been one of the many whos currently in the process of importing a R33. I think I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, as I have been told the plates should arrive on Monday, hence the car should be shipped down ready for the following weekend.

However, as I've been dying for the car, I've already purchased a whole bunch of goodies to add on, such as these Teins. They were at a decent price, so I bought them on the spur of the moment.

But can anybody help me fit these? There's a slab of VB's in it if anyone can help! :)

I'm in the SE part of Melbourne, and am anticipating the car should be here, (after 8 weeks of waiting for the plates) next week. Can anybody help a fellow SAU member out??

Thanks!

Thanks Guys.

I have no troubles taking out the rear seats, nor the parcel shelf. Stuffing around with the interior is easy, my only concerns are only when I am playing with anything that can stuff the safety of the thing. eg, not bolting it to the correct arm of whatever is down there. :D

I'm in Rowville, but I am more than happy to travel if anybody can help me. I have no tools or nothing at my place.

Thanks Guys!

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
