Ello,

Im currently looking for a set of used coil overs for my 93 series 1 R33 Gtst.. Anyone have any recommendations on where I can find a set at a reasonable price?

Also does anyone know if you can just install coil overs made for an R33 GTR? (as alot of website label the coil overs "Suit R33 GTR")......

Thanks,

GTR 1's won't fit mate. I've bought a set of Tein Type Flex for my ECR33. They seem like good value. I ordered through a Japanese company and should be here any day. The cheapest Tein's are the Super Street and they should do a good job. Nengun's prices are competitive.

Have you spent any time in a car with Jap Brand coilovers? They mostly seem to be way too hard for Aus roads. I went local Whiteline/DMS and in my opinion even they are to stiff for local roads. They handle fine but you get sick of the bangs and jolts.

GTR ones can fit. What you have to do is to chop the base eye bolt fitting off your stock shocks and weld it onto the base (between the forks) of the GTR shocks. The height of the shock is the same in most cases (as far as i know). If it saves you say more than 20% the cost, then i'd do it.

Thanks for the advice, and i thought i was asking a stupid question! lucky i asked before buying.... :wassup:

Heres another quickie,

My cars a little bouncey atm, just wondering if i raised my car up an inch (back to 2") would the car still bounce like a rabbit on heat? I know the shocks are on their way out....

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
