Installed my whiteline swaybars + bushings, hardrace camber arms & BC Coilovers. Put on new wheels. Volk Ray GTCs 20x10.5 + 18 front + rear. I'm thinking it needs to be slightly lower with a lit

i traded my old wheels for them on gumtree, but ebay has a varrstoen seller which seems legit.

had some basic coilover i found on this page but might upgraded later on to bc's

all i needed to do was rolled the guards and had to shave a bit or my rear bumper lip inside and also camber

hope that helped rawzz

Thanks Mate.

Yeah I ve sent messages to varrstoen aus via their website and ebay page but no reply. I wanna know whether any of their te37 or ce28 reps come in 2 tone ( polished dish and black spokes).

i used to chat with that guy, forgot his name though. Varrstoen is quality rims and if ur not a brand whore or after a seriously light weight rims then its the way to go. any of their rims comes in matte black as standard, any other colour , even custom will cost extra 100$ per rim, so do ur math :). order from varrstoen website directly is a bit cheaper. if you google u will find his number :).

actually, just found in an old thread, here is the details

Tell them to get f**ked mate. Theyre just a tad jealous they your doing something different. Im getting the same off people.

I know a guy in the states who has done it in a sedan. But in aus i think youd be one of the first if not the first. I rekon a supercharged V8 with the whine would sound tits.

F**k what people say. Its your car, your choice.

Good on ya man!!

Cheers mate, appreciate the kind words!

Didn't want to spend the money on the crappy VQ donk.

Originally was just gonna be N/A with a big cam and nitrous but bit the bullet and going turbo.

It's got a built manualised TH400 behind it.

Im swapping to the stagea VQ25DET donk. I dont mind VQ power actually. It has its own unique sound and qualities. If i had the choice id got VQ over RB. Id go a rotary over an RB. Just so common and over done here. I can understand VQs arent to everyones liking tho and this will be awesome.

What state are you in? I know that in Qld, a car can't have an engine with a displacement greater than 3 times the cars weight, with a turbo or supercharger.

I was contemplating a 5l V8 with a decent turbo but the rules up here wot allow it.

Biggest I could go was a 4.5L then add a turbo - which is still tempting.

One of the guys up here put an ls1 in a 33 and then realised, far too late that he can't boost it. Just a bit of a heads up mate.

Thanks Justin,

I am not in a hurry so I didnt bother calling them, just emailed to see what they have but they seem that they are not checking their emails.. :) will give them a call when I am planing to get the wheels maybe next month.

Do you happen to have the SAU forum user ID for this guy by any chance so I could PM him?

Thanks

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By V35Newbie · Posted

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By V35Newbie · Posted

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
