Don't know if anyone has seen these, but Autobarn have some Whiteline springs for sale and i'm thinking about gettting some.

Should lower the car by about 40mm, and stiffen it up a bit.

Has anyone heard anything about them before? Has anyone ever used them?

Cheers, :lol:

Have a search in these forums Timmy. Sydneykid (well respected guy) uses em in all his cars and heaps of users here have them.

From what i've read here they are awesome for aussie conditions as thats what they are designed for whereas jap coilovers etc aren't.

The above is the first comment I've read that complains about them. I havn't got any but plan to as well.

As i said do a search and see what others think.

What i meant is that lowered springs with standard shocks are crap they kill your shockers!!.

i can hear them knock on the stopper when i go over potholes etc. makes me cringe everytime. roads are really bad in adelaide heaps of potholes.

I have whiteline springs in my line and as far as lowered springs go i have had no problems improved cornering slightly.

but i wish a had waited and got fully adjustable suspension. lowered springs are a cheap alternative

my bro has coilovers and the road holding is much better with them. and you hear no banging when you go over bumps. all in all much better

      That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc.

      Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?

      Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...

      R34 auto to manual conversion help

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
