what spring rate is the sydneykid stuff? and is it much different to the whiteline? tein's are 4/4, and take 10weeks... sydneykid is proving impossible to order thru, so looks like i have to go thru whiteline, got two blown shox :thumbsup:

just confirmed for my spring rates yesterday. They are 8kg/mm for the front and 7kg/mm for the rears. This is for the Tein HA made specifically for 260rs and the vavlving changed over to oz specs.

Sydneykid's kits use Whiteline bars and Bilstein shocks, and all the info (part numbers, etc.) is in the beginning of this thread or the other (group buy) thread, so if worst comes to worst and he can't be reached then you should be able to source most parts quite easily.

are his revalved? if not, i will be ordering 33gtr fronts, gtst rears tomorrow, worry about the rest later.

Goldzilla, you dont happen to have a contact number for him by any chance?

-Ryan

look you have to wait for good stuff. If its a bad stuff you dont have to wait like a moroes suspension you can get it anywhere.

Just wait for Sk get his setting and you are set for a few years.

No, I don't have his number unfortunately Ryan. But I have met him and spoken to him extensively, and he knows his sh!t, so like Yudi says, it'll be worth the wait if you order through him...

getting bilsteins new for now, as driving on blown shockers isnt exactly sensible, then going to do the rest of his package and get a guy i know to valve the shocks to match.

-Ryan

Are just going to cange the shocks only? or with the springs? I suggest you do both at the same time. Sk has moded the valving as per his own calculation. If the guy you know is good enough to do the calculation then go ahead. If i were you probably i would just go and buy a heap ass shock to whack it in first and wait for Sk if you are that desperate. I assume the stag is your only car?

Wjat im trying to say is dont waste your money just wait for Sk man. I think its well worth it.

just checked SK's profile guys

FYI

In Topic: R33 Gtr Bilstein & Whiteline Suspension

Sorry for the delay in responding, especially to PM's. The video card in my home PC died and it took me 4 days to find out what it was and fix it. So I am about 110 PM's behind at the moment and trying hard to catch up. Add that to the workload at Superior Suspension (12 to 14 hours a day, 6 days a week) and it will take me a few days to answer everyone.

Hang in there, if you have transferred money, it's safe, I am not going to run off to Brazil with it. You won't miiss out, the Group Buy isn't going to end soon as I have spent some time with Bilstein securing the shock supply for a couple of months at least.

Advanced warning, I am off to the US for 5 weeks from 1st October to 5th November. Checking out some east coast action, Detroit, Chicago, Daytona and the SEMA show in Vegas. So when I don't respond to PM's or emails in that period, I am sure you will understand why.

cheers

just an FYI on his behalf so we know what's going on

does any body know that castor rod bushings can be replace easily or not? say cuscos castor rod with whiteline bushing. or once the bushing is shagged you have to throw away the whole thing?

http://page14.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/s67417831

In the link above items, are they the so call caster kits?

Hey Yudi, re-use original castor rods, Whiteline castor bushes part # KCA332/$150 a pair approximately = to suit 260RS series 1, (dunno about series 2) from any Whiteline dealer. Noltec equivalent (dunno part #, phone Wilkinson Suspension, Perth WA for part #) They quoted $75 a pair approximately. Original bushes tight, used a mandrel about 0.5mm less than dia of outer metal ring on original bushings, start to move/press out at around 5 tonne, press in easier with "must use" white grease supplied. Just have to keep 'em correctly aligned until they "pop in" is all.

I used guide rod through centre offset adjusting bush to sorta keep things in line plus oversize mandrel for install, until poly bush was more or less in place. Also decided pretty much where I wanted centre (offset drilled) locating bolt/castor bias to be before pressing everything together. Take care not to damage fine threads on rearward fixing studs during ticklish re-assembly. Have fun. No problems yet but next job in that department will most likely be reco/renew power steering pump. Sure does load up steering felt through steering wheel.

Cheers >_<

Hi Wicksy,

we are talking about the front castor rods right? You mean Wilkinson Suspension, Perth WA have the adjustable bushes for the 260rs for $75/pair? Does it make a lot of difference? in terms of handling after having more castor? let me know

Yudy

more positive castor makes a difference although stageas will only let you wind on a smaller amount than skylines. worthwhile investment.

i have the noltec adjustable rods rather than whiteline bushes.

why would you rather have Nolec compared to the whitelines? cos of quality , pricing? Whats the part number to Noltecs?

    • 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
