Hi guys

Did a search couldn't find anything on this, but i lowered my car 3 months ago with the Whiteline Lowered springs, i'm sure there the same as in SK's group buy but i got mine else where.

I noticed the rear sits higher then the front, anyone else experienced this?

I asked a few guys i've met on SAU, there not sure why either.

Any help would be appreciated :D

Cheers,

Pics are below of what i mean:

Get the tape measure out and check it. Should be 350 mm front and 340 mm, rear centre of wheel to guard as usual.

Cheers

Gary

Just measured it, its 340mm at front and 360mm at rear

Is that normal?

don't think so .. iirc the rear is 10mm lower from factory so if your front is 340mm rear should be 330mm ?

Edit: oh yeah thanks for ignoring my PMs and every attempt to contact you SydneyKid in regards to my suspension package that I paid for 4 weeks ago. Good too see you're keeping busy answering random questions, but can't spare 30 seconds to let a customer know what is happening with their goods. GRR.

Hmmm....might grab a pair of those Bilstein rear shocks to lower the back abit more then....

Thanks for your help

I wouldnt rush out and buy them yet, if they should be 350mm front and 340mm rear and yours is 340mm front and 360mm rear then there is def. something wrong there.

Yeh i figured there might be something wrong, i'll wait for Sk's reply and see what he thinks before going ahead with anything.

Thanks Danny

Is that normal?

Check the part numbers stamped on the coils, should be 23175 on the front and 23176 on the rear.

Hey Gary

I just checked the part numbers just now, they are:

Fronts are23175 as u said.

Rears are 23139, does that mean they have me incorrect rear springs?

Cheers,

What rear springs are they then?

Man i dont know.....its been like 6 months now since i purchased them.

Don't think i can get them to give me the correct ones, if they turn out to be the incorrect springs i might just buy a pair for rears....

I'll just wait for gary's reply and see what he says

Hi guys i need some help with this, i did my research and found that the rear pair are actually for an R33 not R34. My front are correct.

Now whats the chances of me getting the correct ones replaced by the store i bought it from? i know its been awhile since i had them, bought them in january and fitted them in may.

I just want to know if were to go back an explain the situation to them would they be willing to give me the right ones?

Its probably not a good chance, but i just want to know if i was entitled as a customer to get the correct parts after so long.

I would ahve done it earlier if i knew the parts were incorrect, but wasnt until i fitted them and let them set in before i noticed they were still sitting higher then the front.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers,

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
