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).

thanks so much. I'm going to fit the shocks, and then get pedders here in mackay to install the castor and camber kits with these settings.

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?

Work with any brand of shocks, springs, whatever.

Every car is different, but somewhere between 6 degrees and 7 degrees is the normal result.

Thats a bit extreme isnt it?

Nope, 8 mm eacd side is extreme

:) cheers :banana:

The current out of stock situation with R33GTST springs at Whiteline is expected to be fixed by late next week.

:D cheers :D

how much would it cost just for the bushes out of this kit?

Prices are on page 1 (the front camber kit has had a price reduction);

Nissan Skyline

R33GTST

KCA331 Caster Kit $110.00

KCA348 Front Camber kit $183.00

Freight $20.00

Sub Total $541.00

:( cheers :no:

I'm after some subframe alignment bushes, just one question.......... How easy are they to put in, do i need any special tools and does the suframe have to come right out or can i get away with just dropping it down on a jack and slipping them in?

Thanks

Aaron

Hi Aaron, installing the rear subframe alignment bushes takes about 20 minutes, it's an easy DIY job and no "special" tools are required.

:) Cheers :)

Hi Gary,

I am interested in the group buy and have a few questions:

I drive a R33 GTST sedan, currently I believe they sit on some aftermarket KYB shocks that came with the car. Measurement from centre of wheel to guard is 365mm.

Current ride quality is pretty bad, as I belive the shocks are on the way out, as rebound is becoming non existant.

Anway my questions are:

1. If I was to purchase the Bilstein/Whiteline kit which items will I need or exclude from the group buy set, given that I have already installed:

- Noltec upper outer front control arm bushes with adjustables

- Noltec front radius rod bushes with adjustables

2. A stupid question: At the lowest height setting, from my understanding, this is achieved with the 3 circlip grooves 8mm apart =24mm lower from the standard 350mm, how will the ride be? I gather this correlates to the set-up of the whole suspension?

Thanks for your time.

well I will be getting a set of swaybars off you Gary for my R33 in the next few weeks

How long am I looking at after payment has been made to you.

also what would you recommend in the way of sway bars for a street R33? and did I need any other thing to fit these to the car?

I take it this will stop a heap of body roll in the car????? and stiffen up the backend .

everyone says it is a good mod for the R33 in the supension department.

how much would be looking at for both bars (fixed/adjustable)

cheers

Fixed or adjustable ones.

Hey SK,

interested same as above delivered to WA

Are the swaybars you offer modified from the whiteline specification?

or are they the same if I order from whiteline?

Interested in the adjustable ones

Suggestions follow;

1. No problem, orders over $500 aree freight free to anywhere in Australia

2. Yep, they have extra adjustment and on some models unique diameters

3. Nope, you can't buy Group Buy spec bars from anyone else

4. No problems, PM sent with details.

:no: cheers :laugh:

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
