You cut in the groove, so use the 350 mm position.

:happy: cheers :laugh:

350mm position for the both front and rear right?

Do I have to move the groove down to set ride height to 355/345? I thought it already set up for 355/345 when got deliverd from jamex?

By the way Gary, whats the progress on my standerd strut tops?

Cheers

Yes, the Bilstein circlips should be in the 355/345 grooves. But every car is different.

PM sent regarding standard strut tops.

:( cheers :laugh:

No problem with going for just rear springs and shocks to start with. Just set the circlip heights so that it doesn't look funny (rear down) with the lowered springs in the rear until you get the fronts. PM sent.

:) cheers :)

All good things come to those who wait. Finally received my Bilstiens for my R33 GTST. It was worth the wait. They have completely tranformed the car. Even though I am only using the standard springs and sway bars my steering is now much lighter and body roll has been reduced considerably. Thanks Gary for your help.

Got my springs, shocks and camber kit today.

Thanks Gary for arranging and keeping me informed through the process.

I am sure the other members from this group buy think the same. Hats off to you.

FYI

I have factory springs and shocks - of which the springs have been cut to give 340mm ride on all four corners (and 345mm on one corner!!!)

Needless to say it bottoms out, the ride is extremely harsh, and you can feel every bump on the road. The car has done 100k kms.

The previous owner from Japan didnt do the best work... *BITCH SLAP*

Once fitted I will post my thoughts on the new ride "comfort" so others can read about the difference this kit makes from the crap handling I had before.

Received the sway bays yesterday the 19/3/07.

Big thanks to Sydneykid for organizing the group buy and doing such a good job of arranging things and thanks to Jamex for providing such good deals.

I look forward to fitting these to my car :P

Sorry all, I have been out of action for 3 days, somebody gave me a nice little virus. So the PM inbox filled up, but it has been cleared now. So if you could n’t get a message though over the last couple of days please try again.

For those that did get a PM in before the overflow, please be patient I will get to them all sometime today (or tonight).

:laugh: Cheers :rant:

      New R32 owner soon

      Hard to say, just pop the rocker covers off and have a look if you think it's cammed. You probably need to replace the valve cover gasket/half moons anyways.

      From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 😢

      Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.
