My front shocks on my R33 are basically shot through. So i am looking to replace them on all 4 corners. I dont want to spend too much but i want something a bit better than the factory setup which handles fairly ****. :confused:

SO

What prices am i looking at to get some decent shocks? Also might put some lowered springs on at the same time depending on price.

Have looked at the whiteline website and the sports pack sounds good but i think i want something a bit under $1500..... what prices am i looking at.

What are pedders prices like?

Wilkinson Suspension in Bayswater.

Agent for King Springs , Whiteline and a host of other.

Can custom build and is used by a lot of wanners guys.

tell him that Ken with the GTR's sent you and promised a good deal. Ask for Peter or Dale

Ken

For the right advice from someone who knows what they're talking about rather than a salesman AND the best price in town see Wilkinson suspension.

Ask for Peter tell him GTR Ken AND Chris R34 sent you:)

john @ wheels world isnt just a salesman, he knows what hes talking about. besides if you know what you want (set of new springs) it doesnt take a genuis to sort you out

Yes well i would go to John if he decided to reply to my email I sent him on Sunday..............

Again, I would say Wilkinson, I recently had some Bilstein Shocks installed all round and matching King Springs, made a huge difference to handling, cost me $1290 installed.

Daniel

Ahh, let me see $1290 or $1580 for the same thing. Hmm that's a hard decision.....

Ken

PS Don't get me wrong, Johns a top bloke and I bought my Simmons from him but Wilko is a suspension specialist

Hmmm a tough choice indeed.

Anyways im definatly shopping around to get a bargain.

Hmm actually called Wilkinson and they will install Bilstein shocks and king springs for $1270.... thats $20 less than yours Daniel :)

    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
    • street use or race track, what hose size and why? what factors change with the hose size options ?   see most comon is an10. when you see most oem external coolers are closer to an12? does high volume oil pump like nitto need an12 or 10 be just fine
