Yea still not sure which way to go.

Somebody suggested to me that the cheapest and maybe best option would be to replace springs on the coilovers to a softer rate and just get the struts revalved to suit the spring.

Munkeyboy, would appriate it if u let me know how ur tein SS go when u get a chance to put them on. If u were in Melb I'd have lent u my c-spanner

to be honest, i dont know. i'm assuming theyre the jap spec.

so far, i cant find how to tell the difference by looking at the part numbers/label on the actual shocks themselves.

the kit number would be different, but i dont have the kit number, because obviously, they didnt come in a box.

anyone know how to tell?

ive emailed fulcrum with the part numbers, but no reply as yet.

King springs and bilsteins would be fine. There is an Aussie distributer for bilsteins somewhere on the interwebs. I like my bilsteins a LOT, was HEAPS better than stock.

there are a few suppliers around Australia, but i beleive they all get there bilstein stock from Sydney Shocks/Heasman anyway.

as far as springs, personally id aim for a spring like the hypercoil or eibach, then get an adjustable sleeve. but if u just want a cheap street solution, kingies or whitelines are ur best bet. try and pick some up 2nd hand if ya can, they do sag, but uve got height adjustment which can take care of that.

also guys, remember to request extra circlip grooves, the standard grooves give u fark all adjustment. id ask for 2 grooves up (will get u to legal height with low springs), and 6 or so below (depends how low u wanna go).

    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
    • thanks GTSboy. My confusion at the moment is i am trying to locate the ignition, ECU battery power and the ECU negative The closest thing i can find is the for the S15 on Page 8 of the Wiring Specialties web page https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9F33_M_GgENQnZ6STMxVmVNd1E/view?resourcekey=0-eZ4nNRwRoqa1qvKlWWHm8A I cannot find the same diagram for the R33 RB25DET Series 2 dash plug pin out.... Do you know what the Pins? or know where i can find the same pinout diagram for the RB dash plug? Thanks for the advice on the box... i like a 6 speed so might be on the lookout or the box now.. a topic of discussion for another post...
    • Will have a look at that. I cant see any leaks 
    • Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.
    • Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
