Hey guys

Just wondering if anyone has a full suspension kit from whiteline on there skyline ?

Im looking at getting the $2k 'works' package but I have no clue about anything suspension related realy. I believe you get everything you need with the kit but is it all worth it?, Would I be better off spending the 2k elsewhere ?? (besides the dictionary shop :huh: )

From what i've seen of whiteline there pretty good, but comments from anyone who's got the full kit would be gr8.

thanks

For Datsun 1600's the whitline kits are on the money! :(

However, I have not heard much about whiteline kits for skylines. So I'm neither going to bag it nor am I going to say it's good.

The jap brands out there are pretty damn good! I have seen HKS hypermax kits go for around $1500 on these forums. I think this is a pretty good buy for a set of suspension that is touted as being one of the best drag suspensions going around.

Maybe you should get a price on a good set of jap suspension eg. Tein, HKS, APEXI to name a few and then make your decision.

But make sure you do the research. Ask around, as there are a few cluey guys here that might be able to help you.

Let's see, I have a full Whiteline kit on the Stagea, and one on the race R32GTST and one on the R34GTT. Plus we have one on the Prelude and the Integra. They are all great, everyone who rides in any of the cars comments on how well they handle and still ride nicely. That's on the road and on the track.

Maybe you should get a price on a good set of jap suspension eg. Tein, HKS, APEXI to name a few and then make your decision.

You can not compare a set of Jap brand name springs and shocks with a FULL suspension kit. None of those named above have stabiliser bars in the kit, or alignment bushes, camber/caster adjustment, subframe alignement bushes etc. The Japs try to do EVERYTHING with spring and shock rate, which is both simplistic and rather silly for Australian conditions.

Need more info? Do a search on Whiteline and Bilstein shocks (that's what shocks they use in the Skyline kits).

well that confirms it then, whiteline kit it is!

thanks :)

One other quick question, i was reading in some other posts you get the 'low' or 'super low' springs or something with the kits ?

I called up some whiteline distributors they didnt know what I was on about. Is this the case ? Id be looking at getting the 'low' ones if it is, i just dont want to order the wrong thing.

  • 2 weeks later...

my mate just had the whiteline works pack installed in his 33 gtst... the ride is firm but does not 'crash' into potholes or jump and skip over rough surfaces...

and the cornering? my mate put it best when he said 'it will now corner much faster/better than I can drive'

so yeah just get the whiteline kit and be done with it... i am saving up!

would the whiteline "works" package be suitable for drag? For GTT with appropiate settings and nitto drag extreme tyres. Will be running to4z with fully built engine and all the fruit to go...aiming for 450rwkw....is it possible to get any type of traction or just to much power?

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
