Hey guys just looking on eBay at these and saw two different prices, on closer inspection each one was labeled differently. The more expensive one said "With upper mount kit" and the cheaper on said "Without upper mount kit"

I have an R33 GTS-T Will i need the upper mount kit for my car or not? I don't know heaps about suspension so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks very much.

The upper mount kit is not mandatory because you can use your existing upper mounts from your factory suspension on the new coilovers. The more expensive kit includes these and does not require you to use your existing upper mounts.

also got another question, Whats the difference between

TEIN SUPER STREET DAMPER KIT

TEIN SUPER STREET COILOVER KIT

They look different but look like they do the same thing, and they both also say the same thing in the description

thanks

The damper kit is just the shock absorber without the spring.

The coilover kit is both the spring and shock absorber.

The top mount is an adjustable unit so you can adjust the cast and camber of your wheel. I forgot to look at what car you were driving before I hit reply but you don't need it on most cars and if your car has double wishbone suspension it wont do anything as the camber is controlled by the upper control arm.

    • http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.
    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
