Hows your $600 spring work Jethro?

Brrrrrppp! Lucky your shifts arn't too good anyway Jethro as you car might finish breaking in half!

Lets just say they work better then your dick does, by the sound of things....:whistling::nyaanyaa:

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha f**k

Did the wire cut mod. It certainly builds up the revs a lot quicker while braking now but I can't say I noticed a huge difference. I do have some big wheels on though and no (or insignificant) power mods though...

You can't receive new messages...

Remind me what size did you go for with the wheels? They were 19x something right?

Have any problems with fitment?

Saw them tonight. Great fitment.

From memory they are 19x9.5 +20, quite a bit of low and some slight guard rolling was done too I believe - Jase can correct me if Im wrong :P

TBH its still a slug off the line. from standstill to 30ish kph the response sucks....unless you've got nismo ECU and/or revving the engine with the brakes on...

The rental Tiida my wife is driving (her car's in the shop again) seems to go harder then my Stag from standstill...

of course, I'm redlining the damn thing and I look at the speedo and its barely reaching 60 kph...LOL

Yep as above.

Ultimately it just comes down to what height you want to run your car at. Chris aka spoolin12 runs the exact same wheel size (maybe a +22 instead of a +20, can't remember), with the same tyre (245/40 R19) and runs his car a bit higher. The rear wheels are flush (the rears were never really a concern, only fronts), and the fronts hang just slightly out of the guards.

Mine is that bit lower (still pretty high, I never bottom out except for on big spoon drains when any other car would, or during a hasty exit from the RAAF base the other day >_< ) so it's running that bit more camber. Front and rear they sit absolutely perfect. :thumbsup:

We rolled all four corners on my car - all it needs is the lip folded up. Now that mine is a bit lower now I don't even think that the rears needed any folding. Fairly confident I've never rubbed a guard, and IF I did it was under a fair amount of compression as I hit a dip in the road coming down one of the hills on Tregarthen Rd. Couldn't see any rubber missing from the tyre or left on the guard, so I'm not particularly concerned.

Long story short, they will fit, and look HOT. How well they fit comes down to heights. If you're going to run it higher (similar to Dale's heights in the BC BR thread, I'd probably go for a 19x9+20 or a 19x9.5+30). Really just comes down to preferences. PM me if you want to check them out one night.

hahah yep. It's a weight thing. Doesn't help that the last car I owned was an Evo with a 5 puck clutch haha.

I like the look I yours, just curious about your camber to fit them flush with guards thats all. Mine is about 10mm higher than yours and is running -2.5deg front and -2deg rear. And already seeing inner tyre wear with the limited km's I've done.

Whaaaat? Have you had a wheel alignment yet? I'll double check the print out tonight but I'm 99% confident that I'm running about -1.5deg both front and rear.

Well there's two columns on the report they gave me - "Diagnosis" and "Adjustment". My guess is that it's the Adjustment column (as follows)..

Front

Partial Toe: Left 0,8 Right 0,6

Toe: 1,4

Set back: -0°28

Camber: Left -1°52 Right -1°58

Camber dif.: +0°06

Caster: Left +6°58 Right +6°34

Caster dif.: +0°24

King pin: Left +7°22 Right +6°40

King pin dif.: +0°42

Included angle: Left +5°30 Right +4°42

Rear

Partial Toe: Left 1,0 Right 1,0

Toe: 2,2

Camber: Left -1°56 Right 1°58

Camber dif.: +0°02

I realised two things while typing that out.

1. I need to find my scanner.

2. You might have been referring to combined left and right camber on your car?

Just double checked mine. Not quite as bad as I thought but the rear is too much.

Front camber is L -2.09deg R -1.22deg

Rear camber is L -2.06deg R -2.01deg

The rear i would like at -1.00deg most and front I want to even it up at -1.22deg both sides. I installed offset bushes up from to help an waiting on the SPC offset bolts for the rear. Then I'll take it somewhere else and get it aligned again

Where did you get yours done?

Where did you get yours done?

Adelaide Radial Tyre at Holden Hill. They do a lot of motorsport cars and seem to have a very good reputation. They kind of dicked me around with times but the work was good and the price wasn't too high. :laugh:

Dealt with them on a business level before. I think I'll give them a miss and go back to Pedders at ridgehaven. Didn't have time to get to pedders when I had the m35 done and went to tyre power on north east road.

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
