Hey guys,

Can anyone recommend a good cheap lowering option for my R33 GTS-T (1994).

It has been suggested to me to get a set of King Springs and lower it with them.

Not the Super lows' , but just enough to make it look a bit slicker! About 30mm.

I do intend in the future (12 months or so) to get some Tein adjustable suspension, but until the pesos materialises I would like a cheap alternative that won't make the ride to stiff as I drive it 500k's per week!!

Look forward to your responses.

Cheers,

J-Flash.

thats as cheap as it gets mate.....other than choppin ur springs which i hope nobody does anymore:D:D good advice is to shop around for prices and ask if peeps know anyone if u know what i mean. my mate scored a set of brand new kings for $150 on all corners of a mates mate.....and we spent a good couple hrs puttin it in....BARGAIN!!

MR_Fanny,

Did ya lose any smoothness in your ride. Does it hit the bumps any harsher!

I'd rather do nothin' if the difference is significant.

Thanks for ya comments. Ya couldn't get me a set at thta price could ya! wink wink nudge nudge.LOL

At all cost do not chop your springs.... Get a proper lowered springs like King Springs you won't regret it.  

Get a progressive rate spring, it will stiffen up under heavy load/cornering but is comfy for cruising.

i lowered mine with r33gtr front shocks and springs(bolt straight in)

back shocks were fitted with gtr springs

front is 50mm lower than standard

rear is about 30mm lower than standard

lots of gtr shocks floating around cheap coss everyone fits flashy shocks to them!!!

ride is actually better with these fitted than standard

cheers

I can go one better...

Meet HOTLNE... a perfect example of what not to do to your car... this mucus coloured R33 sporting vinyls that were bubbled, wrinkled and peeling off, also had a unique modification of NO SPRINGS.

yes the driver had the car sitting on its tyres, and drove around with no springs from the 2003 VIC Glo Show back to whichever rock it crawled out from under.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
