hey guys,

i gathering info as to what suspension to put on the car and would like to know if any of you who has aftermarket suspesion are able to help. Im particuarly looking at blistein shocks/lowered king springs combo but an open to other varieties. So if anyone here has this set up or any other coilover suspension who would be kind enough to take me for a ride in there car to make my decision easier that would be great.

cheers,

duc.

whiteline? they used blistein shocks anyway, and design for australia road.

Other wise i will say nismo S-tune, similar price.

I believe nobody have more data about our nissan than nissan, they will always has the best balance between ride quality and corner ability.

yeah that may be true tin but i think you have misunderstood my post. I would like to ride in a fellow sau members line who has this setup so i can judge whether to go with them - whiteline/blistein or jap aftermarket coilovers aka tein/kei office.

I have Tein HA, they are a firm ride (sometimes too firm on rutted roads) but if the road is half way decent they handel very well.

An added benifit is available if your passenger is well endowed (bouncy, bouncy :boobies2:)

Nozila,

Unfortunately my car is off the road with an engine rebuild at the moment(and wont be back for several more months)However i can tell you without any hesitation at all that the whiteline package is as good as you will get,i have the complete package on a serII96 r33 and it drives like its on rails,its also got their latest offering in the adj swaybars,the only thing i didnt put on it was the pinapples as i didnt want to transmit too much drive train noise thru the shell.I will add that it doesnt pay to dump the car too low as this does affect the ride quality( ie thats not saying dont lower it,just not too much!)Also of note is that i dont run the 4whl steering anymore and this makes a big difference as well.

Hope this will help in your decision making,if i can be of any more assistance just reply....

Regards,

SKYLINE(Kym)...... :D

Guy(and Di),

Yeh, the stiff suspension has a great effect on large boobs,Sue and i mapped a cruise once out towards Mannum for svd and i made her drive topless on the way back(it was great!)My only complaint with Di is she is always covered up completely--- if you've got flaunt it!!!(HINT!)

Regards,

Nozilla, what r u changing suspension for drift, drag, track????. I have setup a r33

for track but still driveable just on S.A roads. The car has PSS9 bilstiens bump/rebound and height adjustable lowered the 25mm now sits 115mm too much lower screws with camber/castor too much. Full whiteline bush kit adjustable castor and rear camber. Rear blade adjustable 24mm solid sway bar 124% increase soft setting rear is 16mm hollow standard. Front blade adjustable

24mm solid sway bar 44% increase hard setting front is 22mm hollow standard. Tyres r Bridgestone RE55 semislick DOT rated (road legal) in WT soft compound.

If u have a standard R33 to compare I would be glad to take u for a ride.

yeah mate i have standard suspension. I notice that your profile states that you have a gtr, wouldnt that make a difference in the handling as opposed to your setup in a gtst. But yes i would much appreciate a ride.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      By Kapr · Posted

      The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.

      Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

      The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week

      Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
