King spring low.

front 3.2kg/mm

rear 2.9kg/mm

Why are u running r33 springs in the rear when s13 coilovers fit right in with very little trubble.

s13 coilovers also fit in the front with some moderfercation (i.e diffrent parts)

also allows you to run r33 gts-t front brakes.

Yeah I had the same thought you did and brought some s13 hubs and arms then worked out it was to much to spend for very litle gain.

The r33 struts in the back is because a mate had 33 struts sitting there out of a half cut and just decided to give it a go and it worked well and when he stripped the car I grabed the whole diff, struts and arms it off him for my car for $150 because i wanted the 3.7 ratio and another set of arms to put my new bushes in

and as for the front end it has white line springs, kyb shocks r34 gtt brakes so I cant see the point in spending all the money to go to s13 front end. ill profer to spend that money on swaybars

Ah your front end is very simier to my old front end but i used r33 gtst brakes and had k-mac adj camber caster top hats. yep get some bigger sway bars, strut brace, cusco brake master cyl brace ($110 from powerplayimports under r31 house) and nolerthane bushes and it will handle realy good

can you shed some light on yuor rear end i.e pics im a bit confused

All the bushes are nolithain and yeah Im allready looking at swaybars, strut brace and the cylinder brace.

How hard were the camber tops to install?

As for the rear end well its a long story but a mate got bored and did it on his budget track build (I.e. under 4k build of pintara rb20det, ebay t3t4 turbo kit, r32 front brakes, weldy you get the idea) and it ended up in my car when the bushes went in just to see how it would go in my car

Im a bit hesedent to post photos due to looking a bit dodgy but the set up has done about 8k worth of driving, 4 track days and 3 drag meets with no signs of problems. tho there might be one in my build thread \/

Can you send the pics to [email protected] then.

as for the camber tops its pretty easy.

remove the front spring assymenbly fromt he car.

then atach sping clamps (they compress th springs)

compress the springs so the tension is take off the top hat.

then undo the nut in the center of the top hat and remove top hat.

install k-mac adj top hats re do nut release thenions on springs and reinstall

get wheel aliment

that easy

then to adj jack car up losen the 3 nusts and move the spring around.

      One Headlight isn't working - Driver Side Fuse Keeps blowing

      Yeah, but knowledge of one wire's insulation worn through to short on earth implies the possibility of other wires doing the same. I had my power steering die, because the wire that runs to the solenoid valve on the rack runs in the same loom as the power wire for the O2 sensor. And when the O2 sensor/wire did something stupid and burnt part of that loom to death, the only indication was the shit(ter) fuel economy and the heavy steering. It took deep excavation of the looms in the bay to find the problem. Not wear through in that case, but similar shit.

      Ah, I thought he'd wired it to one of the spare ECU inputs! Too long ago since I read that post, ha ha. I've been arguing with radiators, harmonic balancers, alternators and rust since reading it.

      Correct. The ECU cannot read oil temp. (Well, I think it probably can in some situations. I did have the thought of potentially repinning the ECU when I was doing oil pressure). I am using this into the MPVI dongle, so that the MPVI dongle can read oil temperature. It is attached to a VDO gauge which is obviously calibrated to whatever curve the sender actually is using. This would be easy if I could setup a table of voltage to temperature like many sensors, but it appears I cannot do this and can only setup the transform rule which appears to be Input (voltage) x Multiplier, and add an offset. This to me means it MUST be linear. So it may be a complete waste of time wiring this into the ECU. The idea was that the MPVI3 has standalone logging. I wanted to use this instead of a laptop with serial cable (for wideband) for long datalogs. Given the wideband also has electric interference, I may never trust this either in a world where the serial wideband and the analog output wideband do not agree. Last time I did a trace I could see the two wideband traces follow each other, but one was a little leaner than the other. I plan on playing with voltage offsets and actually driving the thing to see how close they correlate. If they never correlate... then, well, maybe I'll never use either. Ideally I'd like to have the Analog wideband read ever so slightly leaner than the serial one, because the serial one is 'correct'. Tuning the car to be ever so slightly too-rich would be the aim. Not needing to have a laptop flying around in the footwell connected with cables is... an advantage. About the only one from the forced upgrade to MPVI3.

      Hopefully not, since he knows the fuses work ha ha ha

      I don't think he's got it on a gauge and on the ECU. I think he's got it on the gauge and on the HPTuners DAq thingo. Remember, we're talking about oil temp here, not something that the ECU is actually interested in for its own sake.
