Whiteline or kings?

Cheers

Rodney

83159 Front springs

70191 Rear Springs

all whiteline part numbers and ordered through SK

does the suspension from a 260 fit onto a s2 manual stagea?

need to swap out coilovers for pits, and if i can borrow from a guy in perth and just need to make sure it fits,

i tried to read all of this thread but its full of a lot of bullshit......

Yes it will fit

Well after a week I have had a shatter (Axle Tramp)over the front left hand on power and only happen once now and than now So I had a mate look over the car and test drive the car a for a few days and say I maybe up for new front bushes.

I going to get another wheel alignment check done to the car again tomorrow from a different company as it was only done less than 2k ago just to iron out that it not toe or some thing like that's an easy fix and put it on the Peds suspension check

Well after searching for hours I cant see if for sure that the Front and Rear bushes for a S2 are the same off a R33 ?

If they are dose any know where I cant get some ASAP within Sydney as I have notice from SK and other have posted white line has part and Adj rod bush but would like to get my hand on a full front and rear bushes kit as I may as well do the full car.

Nope, fronts are supposed to be 83159, rears are corect at 70191. I am working through fixing all the listings at the moment.

If you have 83139 please PM me and I will arrange for a swap.

:blink: cheers :D

so are these a standard hieght spring or a lowered one? can anyone confirm?

I have a rs260 stagea with teins in it and need to get standard stuff in it to pass over pits as well.

You sure that series 1 manual fits?

I've read some of the forums and know that r33 gtr fits the front but not rear.

How close to standard will that make it?

What will fit the rear. I only want it in for a week at most then put my old suspension back in.

If anyone has any they want to sell let me know.

Thanks

33 gtr will fit yours - its the auto's that need gtst rear struts

the valving is different so it'll handle averagely but will get you over the pits

also, manuals only came as s2's (except for the 260rs's)

manual s2 shocks will also fit

so will the r33 gtr fit the rear or what? I've got some r33 gtr front lined up but need to complete it with rear?

yes the gtr rear will fit the back of a 260rs

but it won't handle propperly

R33 GTR shocks will be fine you prob won't notice the difference, you may find an issue bolting them in though as the strut tops on r33 gtr rear shocks are wider than on stageas. you might need to find some different strut tops.

FYI I have custom modified R33 GTR Greddy Type S coilovers in my Stagea Type S and I had custom fabricated rear strut tops as the GTR ones would not fit.

I haven't read through all 41 pages of this rich thread but just wondering if anyone with a S2 manual is using S15 knuckles?

The ER34 we used in Formula Drift was using M34 front tubs (direct replacement on the ER34) custom length S15 coilovers and S15 knuckles, etc.

Has anybody bought Bilstien shocks or similar to suit their S2 Stagea recently? Needing a full set for ours!!
Here's a set - should still be a good price even with freight:

http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/C...n-318175180.htm

Had a chance yesterday to put the Stagea up on the hoist for half an hour and have a look around. I will post up some pictures on Monday, I left the camera in the workshop. Some things I noticed;

The front shocks look to be the same as R33 GTR, as is the rest of the front suspension

The rear shocks look to be the same as R33 GTST (eye at the bottom)

No HICAS, yahooooo

The front stabiliser bar is 22 mm hollow, like an R33 GTR.

I am fitting a 24 mm Whiteline adjustable bar (Part #BNF27XZ)

The rear bar is 19 mm and solid, like an R33 GTS

I am fitting a 22 mm Whiteline adjustable bar (Part #BNR11XZ)

The front caster bushes are the same as R33 GTR, it definitely needs mores caster (it was getting the front end wanders at 170 kph)

I am fitting some Whiteline adjustable polyurethane bushes and adding about 2 degrees positive caster (part # KCA332).

Ours sits a little rear down (maybe carried stuff in the back a lot)

Has around 2 degrees negative camber, which is more than the standard adjusters can remove

So I am fitting some adjustable Whiteline bushes in the rear upper arms (Part #KCA347).

The front looks OK for camber, should have a little negative when I lower it.

I didn't remove the shocks to check the spring rates, I will do that when I remove them to swap to the Bilsteins. The front springs look to be a similar rate to R33GTR, the rears are different though. I will machine a couple of extra circlip grooves into the Bilsteins so I can lower it just enough.

Hope that is of some help :type:

No HICAS, yahooooo ? Hi-cas was the nuts on my 32 ! WOULD LOVE IT ON MY sTAGEA c34 , even faster cornering , if you have the C34 Jap Stag then the front wheel track is 1"narrower than the rear , my understeer even on 12" rims was horrible , 2 inch apacers to the front cured it !!

Massive increase in rear sway bar to 24mm solid helps! Also have 20mm spacers (maximium legal in NZ) on front.

Hi I got Bilsteins with Eibach lowered springs for both the front & back for my Stagea a while ago from Japan (import monster).

The front part numbers are;

Front Bilstein shocks 1199 BE52590HO

Front Eibach springs 6345001

Haven't got the rear numbers handy.

I found that I had to cut the bump stops approximately in half to prevent the front shocks from bottoming out due to limited travel with the shorter springs. The springs are about 2 inches (50mm) lowered. All good now, drives much better.

I haven't fitted the back shocks and springs yet.

You might consider coil overs front and rear - I bought a set of BC coil overs from Just Jap for my manual S2 RSFour S and have found them to be excellent on the road and brilliant on the track. Obviously they are height adjustable and have 30 settings from soft to firm. They're dead easy to fit and cost less than half what you'd pay for HKS.

I didn't remove the shocks to check the spring rates, I will do that when I remove them to swap to the Bilsteins. The front springs look to be a similar rate to R33GTR, the rears are different though. I will machine a couple of extra circlip grooves into the Bilsteins so I can lower it just enough.

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
