I'm hoping someone who got the sk group buy springs can clear something up for me.

I have read through the suspension thread and of the "STAGEA SPECIFIC" whiteline springs,

but the part no's mentioned by SK are 83159(front) and 70191(rear) and are R33 GTR, R32 GTS according to the whiteline catalogue.

Are there STAGEA specific springs or are they the same as the skyline.

cheers

I'll dive in ............ target = :thumbsup:

" Are there STAGEA specific springs? Answer is "not sure, there may well be now."

or; are they the same as the skyline. " (Yes, kinda, hard to answer ~ there are a few variations of Skylines, some bits fit.)

Hi there, it is my understanding that early on in the development of the Stagea suspension package group buy SK (after heaps of research, being a diehard Stagea owner & performance suspension engineer), came to the conclusion that the Whiteline springs you list above were a very close/ideal fit to what was needed to optimise/improve factory spring rates. It was also decided that because of low numbers of Stags a specific spring development/factory run would be costly & therefore not practical for the whole purpose of "group buys", especially when there was an already existing Whiteline product "close fit" with the desired spring rates.

So, the part numbers specified are close fit, not especially Stagea specific. Can't remember (fr or rr) now but one set needed to be installed downside up. Some owners opted to keep thier original springs, squeeze them down a bit along with adjustable Bilstein shocks with the extra circlip grooves to obtain desired ride height along with the "bang for buck" Whiteline swaybars which work a treat. Since the package was launched Eibach springs have been offered as an alternative & these are the business but more costly.

Having said all that, there may well now be "Stagea specific" Whiteline springs being produced which do not need to be inverted. Dunno.

Some background, my car was initially around 400/380 dragarse on delivery & chewing out tyres at an alarming rate, so I bought "the works" including the springs listed in your post above, a couple of years ago, couldn't get my head around inverted spring fit on my most precious possession (coulda been front spring set) so I installed my original springs back in with the grooved Bilsteins which worked fine (I wanted not so low ride height anyway for the bush driving ~ lotta carcases on the roads) springs was compressed a fair bit to achieve ride height, visions of spring clamps failing, so when Eibachs were offered as a solution I opted for them. Very happy with the results.

if you can afford eibach/ bilstein setup , man you will think the thing is on rails - the best , i have the setup on my falcon cannot praise enough, eibach springs are cold drawn through a die , instead of being heated up and formed , the cold method allows less metal fatigue , thus less chance of the springs sagging over time , german technology . :P

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      By Kapr · Posted

      The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.

      Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

      The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week

      Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
