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

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
