hey all,

relativly new to WA and am trying to locate somewhere with all the bits required for a manual conversion on an R33.

tried most places in the phonebook that look like they may stock nissan / jap parts but no luck ... a couple of places have some shipments due to arrive in a few weeks.

just wondering if anyone could suggest anywhere else i could try ?

cheers in advance

shannon

Didnt you used to be in SA? think I remember seeing you on the boards from time to time over there?

Anyway, the first place I would be checking, if you havent already,is C-Red.

Not sure of any other places, but if you get really stuck you could try the likes of D1 Garage over there.

R33 manual conversion (the boxes esp) are in quite high demand, thus they can be difficult to track down.

good luck.

hey steve ... how you been? yeah i used to live in SA, moved over here a lil while ago with work (still the same company)

i tried c-red but they seemed to be quite expensive. i have tried chasing all the gear down back home and could get all the parts for a (reasonable) price but would prefer to buy local incase of any drama's ...etc

in saying that i have scored a g/box today from interstate, but for the price i couldnt pass it up :P

so still searching for the rest of the bits required, not in any rush ... unless the auto decides to explode ha ha

philta,

cheers for the info mate! have spoken with ken @ hyper ... was quite helpful but im looking to save a few $$'s and have a bash at doing it myself. no better way to get to know your own car!!

I am 99% sure all the bits are at japan parts plus as I have been helping out while Raj is in Japan.

I have quoted a few half cuts and motor/box/ecu from a R33 so I know the bits are their, cant say what they will cost.

Raj is back tomorrow so drop a line to 0894932191 and see what he says, containers he just packed leave in a week.

They can do the conversion as well if required and have a very good hourly rate so ask him on that as well.

Nigel.

    • Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.
    • I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.
    • I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.
    • From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.
    • They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
