I currently have 4 guys with Buddy Club suspension in their Skylines that I am supplying softer spring rates to in an attempt to get them some ride comfort.

:nyaanyaa: cheers :happy:

ok scrap that idea then can you put a quote together for me for every thing ill need to get better suspension for my S1 stag - the springs

figure i can just use my old ones (probly not the best but will cut cost a bit)

The Group Buy thread is the best place to start

I might be picking up a gtr rear cradle, susp, brakes, all of the above, really cheap too... I'll let you know how it goes...

what do i need to know in order to convert it...I have a bunch of mechanic mates up here with all the tools and probably all the knowledge i need, but i would love to discuss it with someone first. Take full advantage of the SAU collective wisdom.

I assume i will need:

mod certs afterwards

GTR rear end without HICAS for donor parts (which models are these - i assume it's the 34 only)

will the GTR rear driveshaft fit? or should i use the Stagea one?

I will PM Cruiseliner and SK

Has anyone here just replaced thier stock factory shocks with another set of standard ones. Although I would love to buy SK's whiteline/bilstien setup in the group buy I have just spent so much money on the car this year so far that I just can't justify anymore at the moment. Most of the bushes have already been replaced with whiteline ones anyway (by the previous owner) and with the new nismo kit bringing the car down lower anyway I don't have any intention on lowering it at the moment anyway. So I just want to replace the clapped out stock shocks with another set of stock ones. Basically just after prices and opinions from anyone thats done it. Recomended brands etc.....

New standard Skyline shocks cost more than Bilsteins last time I checked. The standard shocks won't have the valving to control lowered springs (check out this thread http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...=103158&hl) plus they will wear out pretty fast. Which is probably why your current (standard) shocks are stuffed.

;) cheers :D

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
