New To Sau

[Shazz]

Hi everyone,

as the topic states i'm new to SAU. I have owned quite a few heavily modified cars in the past, but have always wanted a GTR.I purchased a lightly modified R33 GTR V-SPEC about a month ago. The person I purchased the car off had let it go a little and I've just about got it back to a respectful state now. It has the following modifications:

black & red leather interior

Nismo 320km/h dash

various interior gadgets nismo shifter nd handbrake etc

Greddy front mount intercooler and pipe kit

Greddy lightlweight pulleys

N1 roller bearing turbo's

Apexi pod filters

3 1/2 inch turbo back exhaust

candy apple red rocker covers

R34 GTR wheels

I have big plans for the car, as i suppose as everyone does when they first buy one, but im currently trying to make a decision on which coilovers to purchase, as that is first on the hit list. Shortly followed by a new alarm system.

Hi Shannon.

Looking Nice indeed.

Since you mentioned coilovers thought it couldnt hurt to get some help!

Depending on your plans - you will need to go different set up from word go. If you are chasing BIG power you will need something fully adjustably. Camber/Caster/Toe.

Reason being - Big power application will obviously struggle fro traction (no tooo bad in 4wd though). So by adjusting toe out just a touch and a good small amount of castor, you will get the car to hunker down under accelaration & actually be straigtening the wheels for awesome straight line accel.

If you want something OEM feeling and just plain versatile, a set of Nismo S or R tunes are the way to go. A little bit set and forget, but nismo just get things right!

Best of luck

the end goal for the car is to abtain 600hp at atw, which is why i was leaning towards coilovers, but ill have a look into the nismo s & r tunes. Thanks for the heads up

Big numbers. Another one to remember is the bushings.

With that sort of power hitting the ground make sure you cover off on some strong bushes.

Good topics in the vehicle specific forum on here about it.

thats big power. Make sure you check the vehicle specific forums on here and find out what bushings others are using. If your going to put new coilovers in then might as well do this at the same time.
