Hi ,

Newbie here. Just got my R33 GTS-T 1997 this week.

Need to change to a new set of shockers as the modded ones with the car are just too low and no they are not height adjustable.

Any idea if the R33 GTS N/A shockers whould have the same rebound rate and settings as the R33 GTS-T? I would think it would be diff as the Turbo model should be having slightly harder springs or damper rates but just wanted to check with you guys.

Managed to find a set but not too sure if I should pick them up or not.

Alternatively, would the original R33 GTR shocks and springs fit?

Thanks

GTR shocks won't fit, front = too short, rear = wrong bottom mount.

On the other hand GTST will be fine.

Cheers

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!

      I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.

      With ordering the belt, you're doing water pump and the idler and tensioner at the same time too yes?

      This is just a dumb way of keeping the wastegate closed to make more boost. Undo it and either follow the factory setup or redo it properly. Manual boost controllers just use a spring preload to determine when to close in response to boost pressure so it no longer vents to atmosphere.
