So finally got my suspension sorted this weekend. Guards were rolled on Friday afternoon so I have no more scrubbing hurrah. Dan got my suspension in on Saturday so Dad and I spent all day Saturday and till 12 today stripping out the old stuff and installing all the new gear.

Few minor problems were encountered over weekend but we got around it all in the end. The new bushes for the front camber arms went in alright until we tried to bolt up the front end of em. Couldn't for the life of me get the bastard to line up properly. Ended up undoing the back side again and sliding the bolt out one side so we had a bit more movement. Then using a big flat blade screwdriver and block of wood we ended getting everything to line up and bolted it all up.

The only other problem we had was getting the rear driver's side shock out. The f**ker just didn't want to come out, I think it was getting caught on the bush at the bottom or something. We had been trying to get it out for about an hour and a half when we decided to quit for the day, it was about 6:00pm, so when we were trying to get it all back in position the bastard thing basically fell out. Couldn't believe it lol. So we fitted up that corner and called it a day.

This morning I got up early and stripped out the other side with no problems whatsoever. Got all the new stuff fitted up and then put in the rear crossmember bushes.

All in all a good, productive weekend :D

Here's the pics, I think it looks awesome :rofl:

Good shit man nice tidy example of a 32 GTR

IMO wouldnt go lower, its a nice tidy hight where it is and you wont have the troubles of scraping on shit all the time

what he was trying to say is... i'll just let pics talk :blink: and yes let it settle but then ...

thats hotsauce but i don't think my car will ever be that slow. Its a daily driver at the moment so having it slammed like that will be more trouble than its worth.

but imagine the vagina at your fingertips...

:blink:

Nice work, car looks good, not low enough to scrape, but too look good.

Why the Bilsteins though? My car came with Bilstein coilovers stock and I have to say they were terrible, replaced them with Tein SS had a much nicer ride. Though I'd give my left nut for a set of OHLINS anyday.

They must have been f**ked, bilsteins are great shocks. Although not in the the class of OHLINS of course

    • 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.
