hey i have an r33 gtst series 2, i have tein hr coilovers on it at the moment but the misses is complaining how ruff the ride is so i need to go back to stock suspension, i just wana know if there is any difference in series 1 and 2 gtst stock suspension, and what about if the suspension is out if a non turbo r33. I just want a cheap set of non height adjustable stock or aftermarket coilovers that maybe have slightly lower springs on them, the main thing is it has to be smooth like the stock suspension is. So does anyone know of any differences that i need to know about when im looking to find a set, and does anyone here maybe have a set they wana get rid of.

And while i am asking coilover questions i do have another question about the tein coilovers that i have in it now, they work perfect but one of them seems to be noisy but doesnt affect its performance though, its like i can hear it squishing up and down, and a front one is also doing it a little as well, there is no oil or anything coming out if them and they work perfect its just some have developed a noise, maybe it just simply needs a clean or service or lube in the right spot i dont know, but i would like your opinions cos i wont have any need dor them after i put a new set in so i will probably sell them or try swap them for a stock set

Aftermarket coilovers are illegal so most people will keep their stock suspension just in case they need to get a roadworthy certificate. Even so, most sets of stock suspension will be flogged due to age.

 

My friend has bilstein (either b6 or b8) shocks and whiteline lowered springs in his R33 gtst. Super comfortable and excellent handling with not much body roll. And they are also legal. I would try to get something like this if i were you.

yeah my tein height adjustable ones passed roadworthy a few times and they didnt say anything about them, but i was just after a cheap set of stock ones right now, already shelled out a heap on doing timing belt and replacing an exhaust manifold that had broken in half, so cheaper the better

true GTSboy, but wouldn't hurt to keep an eye out for 2nd hand set for a good price.

Mick I think it depends where you get the roadworthy but usually it's not legal. You're gonna have to be patient if you want a good stock set. Keep in mind that your car will feel like a boat, i had to go back to stock suspension temporarily and it made the car feel horrible. Good for launches though.

    • I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators. 
    • Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?    
    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
