Hi all, i want to lower my 33....

i need new shocks and was recommended to get Pedders Shockies....(GSR - was the model or something).....

anyway.....i dont want the ride too stiff...and i want to lower the car.....

so would i be best just gettin some pedders lowering springs with the shocks or what?

is there a better combination of springs (ie king's or another) and shocks (blistein, pedders, etc, etc..)?

so yeah, basically need some advice.....not too sure on coilovers as they can be a bit pricey...

any help or advice is welcome...

Cheers

Matt

please read this ... http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/R3...ils-t85467.html

settings and so on are done by SK <--- not a mechanic but he sure knows his lines :laugh:

if you want a great daily and a capable track weapon get some of these

just stay away from super low suspension! i had king super lows in my old corolla for about 3 weeks before i took it out. handled twice as bad as stock.

i also had pedders sport rider suspension (or something like that). it was meant to be the equivalent of lows but it turned out that the springs were standard height.

my friend has the nismo tuned s15 and it handles beautifully. it absorbs all bumps as standard yet eats corners for breakfast :ermm: . are there any nismo springs (not coilovers) available for the r33? i have only had mine for about 2 weeks so i don't know that much about them yet

coilovers arnt that expensive?

i can justify spending abit over 1000 for them

if your not going to use your car for track then a cheap set will do ya

they handle much better and there adjustable, so you dont have to swap everything if you get defected

check the thread I posted above ...

its engineered to suit aussie road conditions :D

it height adjustable also!!!

swaybars make the biggest difference to your cars handling if you want your car to handle better the get some new sway bars if you just want it to look good then lower it.

+ everything in there is legal even the bushes and things :no:

best setup for your car if you are going to be using it mostly for a daily ;)

tien are good. but your paying for the name,

only good thing about them is you can get edfc thats if your lazy

i cant see why hsd cant do the same job

you can literally sit your can on the ground with them

still adjust the stiffness and camber.

I was told Pedders were shit... Yeah No Bull...

If ya get aftermarket shock, you are going to have a hard ass ride. My Cuscos are at the softest setting and still hard. Maybe which ever set of aftermarket suspension you get, make sure you can adjust the damping / Soft-Hardness I guess... :down:

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
