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

Cheers,

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.

    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
