the best thing you can do is go out and take your wheel off or go full lock and check ur suspension if u dont know its got coilovers or not it may just jave lowered springs which are probably harder u need to know what u have before u say theres a problem

Either jack the car up or take the wheel off and see if you got aftermarket suspension / springs and should answer your question to why your ride is bumpy.

Also if you have lower profile tyres then before, it will add the the roughness...

does it need to be fixed?

if you were after a smooth ride then wtf did you buy a sports car?

you need to see what suspension you have, and then see which direction you wanna go in

i said take it to a mechanic.. SAU can't see the suspension..

they will give you options.. you may have uber awesome drift spec coilovers and will give you standard r33 suspension for the cost of keeping your springs.. maybe.. prob not though..

but anyways take it to a mechanic or pedders or some shit and get them to inspect why its hard ride

Oh and joey's always an arsehole.. and that's why we love him

You have more than likely got some Jap Spec coilovers with a hard spring rate. Take the wheel off and check the shock (Tein is generally a popular coilover, there green). If you cant do that, take it to a local suspension workshop and they'll be able to help you out. If you would like to make the ride softer you will have to more than likely change the spring and or shock setting which will generally set you back around $350+ for a decent set of springs.

Not to mention a hard spring rate is illegal I believe

so.. what do i do to fix it? and how mch will it COST more importantly

Like some have said on here, take it to you mechanic to inspect it. They can find out whats suspension and springs you have.

Untill you find out what you have got, all I can suggest is change the suspension back to stock (Which you will probley have to find at a wrecker or in the For Sale Section of SAU).

Price on the suspension all depends on the seller but I can garentee you it will be cheaper then going to a Nissan dealer.

Or just change you springs to a softer set, which will be cheaper, but either way you will need to take it to your mechanic to get it done and get s quote from them, unless you wanna do it yourself...

    • 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
