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,

SKYLINE(Kym).... :aroused:

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.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
