what is your wheel widths and offsets?

any scrubbing with the spacers fitted?

Wheels are 9 inches wide and +30 offset

Only just put the front spacers on and have taken the ride for a burn yet, so I'm not sure.

  • 1 month later...

I had heaps of hassles with other aussie brands.

I found that it was easier to fit stagea specific wagon springs.

These items from Tein is what I used, also replaced the rear sway bar with a GTR one.

SKN78-S1B00 Nissan Stagea WGNC34 - Soft - F3.1 R3.8 (kg/mm).

These were for a S1 also available for S2 manual and tiptronic.

Note if you have a few more bucks coilovers or "Sydneykid's" setup with bilsteins is the way to go, it also pays to have a good offset instead of spacers.

Hope this helps.

The choice of spring rates has been discussed a fair bit in the suspension thread. The best Stag-specific 'upgrade' for tired stock springs is the Nismo S-Tune or TEIN as listed above (I've got S-Tune). There have been tales of 'not recommended' from Kings regarding using other models' springs in the rear (due to the potential loading), and then there's the coil-over kits you can get that are rated at 8+kg/mm which is damn stiff for a road car (M35's excepted).

Don't be too scared to ask the question regarding spring rates before you buy. Having the car look better (and they do) by lowering it 30mm is a waste of time if you get spat out of a corner backwards when you put 300kg of gear in the back...

I'm very happy with the S-Tune gear (Nismo badged Bilstein shocks w/circlip adjustment), but I'm sure a fresh set of stock springs and shocks would have made a big difference too!

been waiting a while haha.

going with them though, pretty good price

i just installed a set of these, haven't played with the damper setting much but the ride is very good. i've set the damper to half way. the spring rates are 8kg front and 6kg rears, even though they are heavier spring rates than stock i think it makes the ride much better.

    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
