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.

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
