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!!

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
