springs dont do shit, they will give you basically same ride hieght but stiffer better to do it once do it right even get second hand coils if you can should be under a grand. Otherwise you'll get springs be dissapointed and go get coilovers later on

Ha!

Springs can do good.

Like you said, 2nd coil overs is another option.

Find a decent set and fit them and you should be fine.

springs are ok, usually not without new struts as well though then ur talking cheap coilover prices.

spose could just chop springs works for the commo boys..

:blush: Rolla boys love that too, chop, weld, skidz!

You can compress the springs, they heat it up and compress it down and let it sit till it has cooled down hence it becoming lower.

Import Monster will have a 2nd hand set of coilovers and that's the proper way of doing things.

Hehe!!

Kye gave me a link to a place in Bendigo that does suspension, and they quoted me close to $700 for just the King Springs to get it down 3cm.....plus labor (That's the cheapest they have) and was over $1000 (Supply only) if I wanted the Tein S-Tech springs, asked about coil-overs and he pretty much ignored that I even spoke!

So I think I'm going to just leave her as is for now til I move to Melbourne, It's so expensive to get anything done up here.

$700 a rip for kings springs to be supplied and installed

even $1000 for just the supply of s-tech's

id say the prices are high becuase of where your located atm, try traction tyres, centreline etc from the recommended workshops thread when you move to Melb

would be much much cheaper imo

You could get BC coilovers for not much more. :)

Benders is only an hour and a half away from Melbourne, just watch for the cops around Kyneton, they get all sooky when their missus knocks them back...

You guys know where this little hole in Victoria is quite well. I can get from Bendigo to St Albans in 1 hour 15 minutes....

Scotty- lol yeah they can be a little sooky, but Sunbury cops are bad to, when I had my BMW was getting pulled over all the time...

cop: That's a expensive car for a p plater

me: thank you

Cop: Racing wheels?

Me: There not racing wheels, Rodney Jane Racing is the brand...and they came with the car.

Woah thats way expensive for the springs! Yeah Bendigo has its downsides sometimes. Went to se suburbs to get my car resprayed. Was quoted $4500 just for the rear quarters here! And because Im a girl and have an import Ive found no one takes me seriously. If I had a commodore and wanted to cut springs and put in fully sick neons workshops would be lined up :D

I know that feeling Kye, The guy at the tyre centre totally ignored me, and spoke to Brenton. These days I just take him with me and let him do the talking, it's much easier then being spoke to like you don't even speak English.

I get sick of the amount of "fully sick" Commodores I see in Bendigo. I'm also very tired of having burgers/drinks tossed at my car, or people shouting "Get a real car" at me.

Did you only get charged so little because you chose a basic colour?? My mums thinking about getting her Lancer re-sprayed the poor car looks pink these days.

I think I saw you on the weekend, your Skyline is a Metallic Silver R33 with a wing right??

Speak to Thuy from J-Imports about some coilovers (and anything else you may need). He has sorted many people in this club out for parts.

He should be able to find something for you from Japan or locally (new or 2nd hand) at a very reasonable price. Just let him know you're from SAU, drop a few names about the place and you're in.

I'll PM you his details.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      By Duncan · Posted

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
