Hey,

What do people think about this: http://www.gtrmod.com/COBB-Tuning-Coilover...ob%209c1800.htm

I want to keep the factory adjustable shock absorbers but also lower it just a little. Looks like these would do?

Anybody got opinions on these? They seem to be a reasonable price.

I used the Mines Eibach Springs in mine and have got a firmer ride and lower ride height. This maintains the factory adjustability. Which ever way you go it is a pig of a job to do as you have to remove the majority of the rear interior to fit whatever you put in.

Good Luck

jpgtr, interesting stuff..what is even more interesting is that you not only own that MAGNIFICENT black GT-R but a 996 911 Turbo as well??- yee hah!

These for me are about the 2 best sports/supercars one can own...how do they compare with one another in terms of performance, drivability, reliability and desirability???

Just so you are aware there are a couple of other options of basically the same thing as those Cobb kits. The main thing to determine is what your plans for the car are as they each come with significantly different spring rates.

The Cobb system is pretty much focused on a street set up where as the below 2 systems are a bit more track focused as far as spring rates go.

I have a set of the T1R coilover kit (the GTC kit pictured is EXACTLY the same as the T1R kit). Used for 2 days before i switched over to a full coilover kit. I will need to check freight cost but it will end up costing you much less than if you buy a new set direct from Canada (or the UK). PM if you are interested.

Hey,

Just wondering why you went for full coilovers after just 2 days?

and how did the factory adjustable shock perform?

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
