Hey just curious

I was thinking instead of buying lowered king springs etc because i want a custom height for my car, of just heating up the springs with an oxy accetelene blow torch.

Ive done this previously on my vn commy couple years back :D

Ive got a r33 series 1 1993 skyline with standard suspension

What do youse think? And im on a very tight budget haha :)

cheers

So you have bought a car that is a nice handling car from factory, built with the right balance and geometry and now you want to butcher it like a pos vn, just remember that anything you do to a vn will make it better but when you already have a good starting base dodgy shit like this is going to take it backwards.

Apparently he wants to die...... Dont be a tight ass buy the springs or just leave it as is.

yeah most stupid idea.. defectable.. dangerous.. messing with things you shouldnt.. sounds like another home modifier... kfc ad with the cardboard bodykit :)

why is it that when ppl get skylines they suddenly hate holdens.. sounds like a case of the sheep to me...

i have been a ford man since dick johnson hit the rock and although i own an R33 i still have an NC fairlane sitting out the back, even when i owned an RX7 i still owned a ford, my loyalty will always lie with ford no matter what i own, have always hated most holdens, the the only ones i dont hate is ht-hg-hk 2 door, lh slr5000 lj 2 door and walkinshaw commodore but i dont like plain vl's.

Oh!..

This is an awesome idea!

I heard Supercheap is having a half price sale on blow torches this week!

Group Buy anyone!?

im in, im too smart to chop my suspension though, have always wanted to see how a 33 would look with a 3" roof chop, do you think i'll need anything more than a chisel to modify the windows?

make sure when you the chop worped that you fabricate a roll bar using pvc and coloured Styrofoam.

OMG that is a FULL SIC idea, and with the left over pvc i can make an intercooler kit, FFUUULLLLYYYY SIICCCCCC

when you already have a good starting base dodgy shit like this is going to take it backwards.

Yeh definately made your point, but when your 18 doing stupid dangerous things doesn't seem to fase most teenagers. Looks like king springs it is.

Lol at GTS4WD's comment

well at least he's not taking the springs out entirely like some morons around here I've seen.

And about the comment on anything making a VN handle better - even a set of standard height King Springs worked wonders on mine so you'd be quite right there, but then when i only had a commo, suspension mods rarely went past superlow's and Monroe shocks lol.

    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
    • Thanks for the quick reply. To be clear, when you say turbo shuffle do you mean turbo flutter "stustustu" or referring to something else? I had thought they were the same thing. When I wrote the post my intention was to say it wasn't a flutter/compression surge sound. My understanding was that a flutter sound would be occurring when throttle is released, whereas I can keep the throttle in the same position for this noise
