Hi Guys,

Does anyone have a whiteline works package on their R33? I was wondering how this rates compared to other popular setups (Bilsteins, tiens etc).

Has anyone used this setup in a track environment?

Your thoughts on this are appreciated as I'm looking to install this soon.

Cheers

Whiteline works = Whiteline handling pack + Bilstien shock + Whiteline spring..

I have the handing pack installed, and attended a few track days, best money spent. And I currently have bilstien shock + whiteline spring installing, will let you know this afternoon when I pick up the car..

I'm looking at installing the entire whiteline package - Camber castor, springs, shocks, front and rear sway, strut brace, hicas bypass.

Sidewaymambo - Yeah i think the handling pack will do wonders when i have it fitted.....i was up against a bunch of porches and ferraris last track day....

To Morlock and all,

I fited the original whiteline sway bars several years ago(in actual fact we sent Jim our bars as samples so the first ones could be made,these were run with std shocks and lowered springs-too low and the car handled very good.)however the ride was hard to say the least and we were suffering premature tyre wear so we up graded the whole package to bilstein coilovers, whitelines new adjustable sway bars f&r,camber caster kit to the front and double camber kit to the rear.before fitting these i manufactured a hicase bypass kit to eliminate the 4wh steer.To say the car handles is an under statement,its firm very positive, turns extremely well.Mind you the ride height was brought back up on Jims advice to somewhere around the 445mm mark (wheel centre to guard lip) as i had these all fitted by Steve Cramp(manta racing and bmw-gtp fame) i had the car corner weighted and he achieved near perfect balance with corners coming to within 3kgs of each other.

I cant recomend this package any stronger than i have its the best monery you can spend on your 'liner,forget about any of the jap brand shockers as they are way to hard for our very inhospitable roads we have here in aussie.

Regards,

SKYLINE (Kym).......

currently i have a whiteline handling pack + rear diff brace + front camber kit installed on my ER34, running on stock shocks and tanabe variable rate springs and toyo trampios r1r hybrid tyres.

i've only ever used whiteline products on my cars (full works pack on my wrx) because jim and the gang are top blokes and i've always got great deals. so i can't comment on them vs aftermarket gear.

track performance is fantastic once you've dialed in the right settings. currently im running the recommended castor settings, 1.75deg negative camber in the front, hardest rear bar and close to softest front bar settings.

initial turn in is fantastic, nuetral to slight understeer coming out of the corner and predictable througout. body roll is not totally "flat" through the corners but that would mean sacrificing my street ride.

can't afford coil overs at the moment, but im not really fussed either, the way its handling now is great. should comment that spirited drives through the national park and such can get very bouncy but im really happy the way my suspension handles it. very compliant. says ALOT for a decent set of variable rate springs.

i've got tein flex coming in but i am also getting whiteline struts and adjustable control arms (i think)

would you recomend it being a good choice? i only have 153rwkw and it will most likely stay like that for years to come, but at least i will be able to turn quicker and smoother :D

hopefully sauvic has a skidpan day soon after they are fitted so i can learn to play with the settings

Say I wanted to fix/replace my rear end suspension with something from Whiteline (Im interested mainly in drags but also light track work). . . what would I be best getting? (It's a daily driver).

      Rob's S Chassis track cars. Now with more s15 and less 180sx

      A little more work this week.  Fitted astra power steering pump in the boot with a lowe fabrication bracket. Gave the pump a good clean, fitted Anderson plug and high pressure fitting. With the intercooler being flipped under rad support factory headlights weren't going to work. Ordered a set of origin battle lights, they arrived so got them test fitted. Will require some fiddling to fit nice but was an easy quick option for now. And today we pulled out the manual Rb gearbox and test fitted a ZF 8HP50. It will fit with some casting tabs cut off and small tap of the tunnel with a hammer. Pick up the adapter plate Wednesday so hopefully all bolted in Friday and measure for tailshaft which will be a 2 piece. Been doing a lot of ecu, pdm and tcu loom design so when comes to wiring it in a few weeks will all go smoothly.

      FYP. Sadly. Even bolt cutters wouldn't take 2 sec. But in the days of 18v angle grinders, nothing is safe.

      One piece driveshaft I would recommend a dual CV setup otherwise stick to OEM. I have heard most one piece driveshafts cause excess vibration otherwise. The transmission grind I'm quite familiar with. You can try shockproof gear oil, otherwise you need a new transmission. The shifter is extremely simple on these cars. If you want pull apart the assembly and replace the plastic bushing but I doubt that fixes anything. The tail light issue is very common, unfortunately new tail lights are long discontinued. The trunk antenna going up always is because your radio doesn't have a true power antenna control, just remote amp power signal. There is a blank switch plate that you can pop out and install a switch for this or alternatively source a head unit that has proper antenna control. Throttle body sticking you have to disambiguate by disconnecting the cable and seeing if the linkages are the problem or something else. There is a procedure to adjust them, refreshing them is also somewhat involved if that's the issue. I have dealt with many of these issues. Old cars really are fractals of problems. The more you fix the more you discover there is to fix.

      Welp, you've got a long list of experiences right there. I'd say you're on the right path.

      That's correct, suits my requirements a bit better. Sure there are also numpties there, however it's generally a different vibe and more my kind of vibe.
