hi all

i have a 32 gtst stock,

currently running stock springs.

im lookin at lowering the car to possibly lowest legal height (10cm i think?) or just a lil higher

i been lookin and hear about coilovers and apparently they are really good overall

they are quite dear aswell, but im only after some springs that are needed for street as i wont be doin any track work

and also ive notice people say certain coilovers are too stiff and hard for street use, eg feeling lil bumps along the road

wat would yous recommend? i drive roads around the gold coast so theres hardly any rough streets to drive in

wat stiffness would i need?

also what are good springs to use and decent on prices??

thanks

if all you wanna do is lower it. go to any tyre/suspension joint and get some king springs put in... rough cost is about 350 with springs and labour. while youre at it cause its a 32 and getting a lil old check your shockers and see if they aint shagged...

ISC N1 coilovers = $1499

If your just after springs we can supply whiteline, king, tein, etc

As above, don't drop it to much if your just changing the spring as you will bugger your stock shocks and the ride wouldn't be overly comftable either.

Also the further you lower it the more you stuff up the alignment. You need to compensate by adding adjustable bushes or arms throughout the suspension so you can get it back to something sensible.

Also as stated; lowered springs + standard shocks = FAIL

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
