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).

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
