Heya greg

springs are being fitted on thursday, so I will let you know how she goes then. I have driven a friends line with just kings in, on standard shocks, and it was fairly firm, and not too bumpy, but handled better again, thankfully my shocks are in really good knick according to pedders, so I should be able to get a bit more out before i get some shocks to match.

Exhaust&Cat are being fitted tomorrow. I got a price of $540 for a 2.5" hi flow cat&pipe&muffler and quality too (gotta love knowing the right people) I was waiting on the extractors but they're gonna take another 2 weeks and i wont have any free time then, so that will be later still

SAFC is awaiting install an tuning, but dont wanna do that until the extractors are on.

$$ took a little longer than expected to come in, but this is my big week for getting stuff done.

Cheers

Hi,

I have kings fitted to my car, and still using the standard shocks.

They really help to improve the handling of the car, miles better than standard and not bumpy at all.

It was great to start with, but noticed very quicky (2 months) the deterioration of my factory shocks, now 12,000km later my factory shocks are totally buggered and need to be replaced.

So in my experience, if you can afford to do the shocks at the time you get the car lowered, you might as well go ahead and do the shocks. Just wish we had done it then:(

Exhaust is on, and sounds as great as was expected. I have only really noticed a drop in revs for my normal crusing speeds, and a heck of a lot better response into 3rd and 4th. All in all, very nice.

Springs have been put back to tuesday as they are coming from over east, and the first order is "missing"

      This sounds like someone who would have owned an R33 in their past... It's okay, I'm 100% picking up what you're putting down Mark.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Just back on what was raised about jacking off the the tow/tie down point on the front of cars. I've used it plenty. I've also watched it on a car where you could see it move the front end of the car. It was like the front end/whole car being tweaked and twisted a bit. I will say, I struggle to find good jacking points on MOST cars. The ones that have good points, I then normally struggle to find a jack tall enough to make the car change height!   One of my go to points for either the jack, or the axel stands though, is either a suspension pickup point, OR a subframe to chassis major bolting point. I actually think its the subframe on my R33 that has a bit of a bend in it, from being jacked in the middle too. However, it could have been one of my many other cars I've had over the years! Or it could also be the from me jacking it up, and the fact the top of the front radiator support isn't there, so it can allow the front of the car to move and bend etc.

      My apologies. I forgot we were talking about weird beard M series stuff. Had been talking elsewhere with someone about an R33 with similar subject and got confused.

      Nope, I don't like the look of ND RF, or any ND really, I don't like their faces or arses, why, because of their "modern" lines, the NC, whilst "modernish" has a more rounded shape that I like Well, that's how my overly judgemental eyes see it anyway

      Should be more than fine, especially the overall fuel pressure would never exceed 3.5bar (assuming that thing never gets more than 0.5bar of boost in stock form). According to the chart, it's 11amps.
