hey mate,

do you sell lowered front springs for a GTR R33?

Yep, the Group Buy price is $144 a pair http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/R3...tel-t87826.html

If so what do they drop it by?

They give a ride height of 355 mm front and 345 mm (centre of wheel to guard)

And is that all i need to lower the front slightly?

Yep

I have on some belstein shocks.

Good choice, if you haven't already done it I strongly suggest that you get extra circlip grooves machined into the Bilsteins. That way you can adjust the height to where you want it. In fact you could retain the standard springs and simply use the circlip grooves to lower it, to around 365 mm is about the most you can go using standard springs though.

Hey Sydneykid I posted in that other thread and you said that you are slowly ansering PM's and to keep trying but I still haven't received a reply from PM's that went through on the 3rd and the 5th of June. I know your busy but I pretty urgently need to know where my order is up too. So if you could just reply in here or in the group buy thread quickly that would be great.

how much lower is that over standered?

What standard?

Standard new out of the factory? (~45 mm)

Standard new after 1,000 k's? (~40 mm)

Standard new after 10 years of unknown use? (measure it)

Cheers

Sydneykid can u please empty your inbox so i can pm you

Sydneykid

i still cant pm you

Yeh SK I usually can not get on the forums at a time when you are clearing your box. I have been trying to contact you for 2 weeks now without success. It appears 3 PM's did go through, one on the 3/06, 5/06 and 10/06 and none have been answered. I can understand if I hadn't yet purchased anything but I have payed and I really would like to know the status of my order at the moment, could you possibly prioritise people who have already provided payment?

Could you please just provide me with the status of my order or a consignment number?

Please guys, help your selves out here. Some days we get more PM's than we can answer in a day and they get carried over to the next day, last weekend I was away (first time in 20+ weeks) so I had 3 days of PM's to catch up. This weekend I am at Oran Park with 2 of the race team cars so I probably won't answer PM's unitl Monday. Sending me a PM at 10.00 am and not getting a response, then sending another PM at 11.00 am and not getting a response, then another at 1.00 pm etc etc. That doesn't help anyone, we answer the PM's as we receive them, filling up the inbox selfishly with your PM's won't get the first one answered any faster.

I think we are up to over 200 guys with Group Buy kits so far, every single one of them has received what they paid for. I am not going anywhwere, you will get your stuff, I leverage the suppliers as best I can but I can't make them go any faster.

Mate I hope are you making money out of this. I would have given up years ago.

We sell the swaybars that we make, so that's a plus. The only benefit from the rest is improving our negotiations for sponsorship of the race team from the suppliers.

Well I want to get some srpings and shocks for an r33 but I dont know where to transfer the cash to :) . I have sent a PM or 2 but just asking questions and havent gotten a reply (not that I really care I answered all my own questions by reading 8123989 posts in this forum.)

Where do I send the money and how do I let you know what I want ?

PS: I will grab sway bars also when my MBF share money comes through :D

Hi Ben I actually reponded to your PM about 20 minutes ago, good timing.

Cheers

Another tip to help us answer your PM's quickly. For obvious reasons we don't keep every PM, and we get so many that we can't possibly remember them all. So please keep the thread of the PM's so that when you send a new one it has all the previous correspondence. That way we can quickly identify what it is that you need and what has previously been said.

Cheers

    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
