Hi everyone~!!

My r33's shockers need replacing soon as they are leaking... and i'm not sure what brand or what kind of shockers are suitable for my car...

my car already have lowered springs on (not sure what they are it was like that when i bought the car) and i like the height as it is...

as i spent a fair bit of money getting the car, i wanna minimise on spending too much money at the monent, but i wanna get a set of reliable and confortable shockers,

anyone got good ideas? Kyb a good brand? how much should i expect of fitting?

Cheers~!

As posted in your other thread:

If you dont want the cost of coilovers, but just looking to replace the shocks see my review (and other opinions) here:

Yep, thats probably their normal price. Get a price from SA Suspension Centre:

http://www.sasuspension.com.au/contact.htm

and either get Car Torque to match it (if they are closer to you) or you could just buy from them.

Car Torque is at North Terrace Kent Town (just next to the city) and SA Suspension is at Ween Rd Pooraka.

And in Australia, they only sell KYB Excel G. I enquired all over Australia to see if they have different models and unfortunately they dont.

Hope this helps some more :no:

Go into Car Torque, they gave me a good price, just mention you're from SAU. I just got a set of KYBs from them and got a pretty good discount. I'm happy with them for what i do.

When you go in the door go to the left and talk to Julie. She's really nice and will help you out :no:

great help~!!! thanks heaps guys~!! i'm gonna ring car torque and get some price~!! cheers again~!

Andz: Suspension is actually really easy to fit yourself. Get some quality springs (Whiteline, NOT kings) and the shocks of your choice and have a go fitting them yourself. If you dont want to do the fitting, i'm sure there are a few shops around that will do it for you, Action Suspension at Edwardstown comes to mind. Generally steer clear of Pedders though ;)

Andy see if Sydneykid can get the group buy Bilsteins/Whiteline setup for your GTR. Keep in mind almost ANYTHING you buy that is non-coilovers will be much softer than the stock GTR ride - I think that is a good thing - but you may like it hard - if you don't, the Bilsteins are firm without being ridiculous.

why do you not want adjustable coil overs?

finding out you ride height is as easy as tape measure from center of your rims to the top of your guard or from a level surface ground to guard then when installing new suspension you know what height it was and where to set it :thumbsup:

I think they be talking about a Coilover not a Coil over........

Being the whole strut, spring and shock all in one with many adjustments! Such as Ryans ISC Coilovers!!

Look if you don't want "Coilovers" then the best bet and most used thoughout Skylines would be the Bilsteins/Whiteline setup! This is what i run because it came in the car when i bought it! Extreamly happy with it! If i were to upgrade id be getting some Coilovers!!

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
