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...

Yeah wait till you move to Melbourne and get it done.

how far is bendigo to melbie anyway?

It is approximately 131 k's from Melbourne.

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.

Thanks for the help guys, much appreciated.

It's not the driving to Melb part I have a problem with cos I'm down there 3 days a week anyway, it's just that I need my car.

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
