Hiya sydneykid,this be my firsty ever SAU post.Just signed up.

Anywayz I have an R32 GTS4 which is currently suspended by Skippy the Bush Kangaroo on Acid.Not my choice.Was like that when I bought it a week ago.

Sooo,what I want to know is can you supply a kit to sort this evil critter out.I want everything and I want it now.What do you recommend.The car is for road use.Will be contacting GTRgeoff for one of his HICAS lock bars.I intend to do it all once and do it right before I spend all my money misbehaving.Also if you can recommend a workshop in SE Qld that would be great.

PM on its way

:P cheers :P

Ok, so I've finally found the right thread to post in... SOrry about this... I'll learn to read a little more before posting.

hey sk...

My JIC coilovers are rattling and looks like they need a rebuild. I need to get rid of them I think. Mackay has really shitty roads, but I like a low car. Is there a setup possible for this? I like my car at a weird height - the Front slightly lower then the back (looks meaner I think heh)

Anyway, for the moment I just want to replace the coilovers because the cash storage isn't that great at the moment. Its a 1996 GTS-T so it hasn't worn many of the parts out just yet.. (pedders checked)

What would you suggest? I attached a few pics of the car to give you some idea of the height.

The measurements at the moment are (from center of wheel to edge of guard)

Back - 335mm

Front - 320mm

Hope I'm not being a pain in the ass.

What will I need?

thats cool.

Hey, do you have a recommended Height setup between front and back?

For example, my front and back heights are 15mm different (back is higher), could this cause issues with types of driving eg. Dragstrip, and daily driving?

Front Castor Kits. Are they adjustable or preset at 7 deg?? Will they only work with the Bilsteins or can they be used in conjunction with stock or other coilovers?

Gidday Mafia, this is Garys recommended settings which you can get with this kit

For the street here are my recommended settings;

Front Camber -1.00

Front Caster +7.00 (slightly more on the left to offset the drift to the gutter)

Front Toe 0.00

Rear Camber -0.5

Rear Toe 2.00 mm in on each side

For the track;

Front Camber -2.50

Front Caster +7.00 (or more if you can get it)

Front Toe 2 mm out each side

Rear Camber -1.25

Rear Toe 2.00 mm in on each side

As you can see the big change is camber, what most the guys do (me included) is to use the Whiteline camber kits to adjust the camber when they have the car jacked up to put the track tyres on. Just get the wheel aligner to mark the amount of rotation you need for the 2 settings. Then you simply rotate the offset bush for the right amount (track or road).

The Group Buy Bilsteins have additional circlip grooves added so you can set the height you want before you fit them. There are 6 grooves 8 mm apart and I can tell you the height that you will get from each groove. Keep in mind that GTSTs handle best around 350 mm front and 340 mm rear (centre of wheel to guard).

    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
    • thanks GTSboy. My confusion at the moment is i am trying to locate the ignition, ECU battery power and the ECU negative The closest thing i can find is the for the S15 on Page 8 of the Wiring Specialties web page https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9F33_M_GgENQnZ6STMxVmVNd1E/view?resourcekey=0-eZ4nNRwRoqa1qvKlWWHm8A I cannot find the same diagram for the R33 RB25DET Series 2 dash plug pin out.... Do you know what the Pins? or know where i can find the same pinout diagram for the RB dash plug? Thanks for the advice on the box... i like a 6 speed so might be on the lookout or the box now.. a topic of discussion for another post...
    • Will have a look at that. I cant see any leaks 
    • Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.
    • Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
