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

Then PM me if you have any questions.

:O cheers :woot:

that thread is for people with half a clue about suspension.... sif i know what i need ? so for my question, what do i need with out the springs? and how much for every thing you're about to tell me i need

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

    • Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks
    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
