Hi, I got my car regoed today and man did it take ages, the girl was inspecting it and she goes not much room in the engine bay, your airconditioning takes up a lot of room, I didnt have the heart to tell her that was a turbo she was looking at, then she couldnt find the engine number, 15mins later someone came out from outside to help her, she said it was good it wasnt modified, I laughed to myself looking at adjustable suspension, pod filter, big exhaust, mag wheels.

Then she asked if it was a 2003 model, I was like err no, its a 1993. with stamp duty, appointment fee, slimline plates and rego it cost me $1113.

My car has nismo adjustable suspension(r33 gtst) and it has the numbers 1-4 on the top off the strut along with like a phillips screw to adjust and I was wondering does anyone know if they adjust height or what?? I can post a photo if it will help when I can get one. It also has an Excedy puck clutch in it that handles up to 450hp, does anyone know what they are worth??

Cheers.

Dazz

that's for the damper, you probably want it on softest setting - aussie roads ain't good for jap suspension.

my set of hks coilovers are on the softest setting and they're still fugging uncomfortable.

To adjust the hieght you'll need the tool. Jack the car up and take off the wheel, there should be a ring over the thread that u use to adjust the hieght. Turn this ring to adjust it with the tool (up = higher, down = lower)

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
