Been around the forum for a fair while, thought it's about time I actually do an "introduction" given I am a bit more active + own a skyline now..............

Name is Chris, currently living up in Townsville, QLD - Thinking of relocating but not 100% yet.

I own an 1995 R33 GTR - Non Vspec. Has around 126km on the chassis, original motors fate is unknown, it was given a Stagea 260RS (Series 3 R33 GTR Motor) which has ~96km on it.... Was bought from Nigel - "BIT SUS". - http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/350754-r33-gtr-midnight-purple-340kw/

Absolute dream to drive, ppg box makes it a lot nicer and the powerband is great! (yes -10's are late but still very nice)

Track will happen when I can get to one Pat, cheers though. I'll be happy once it's all sorted motor wise then onto ECU / Fuel system.

Kyle, :thumbsup: same would be said about you and yours. no homo

    • But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?
    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
