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).

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.

      Skyline v36 350GT sedan hunting on idle

      By Robot · Posted

      Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣

      After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
