Hi mate

I meant to do this a few months ago but fell really sick and couldnt afford too being off work. But i have money now! I already have the bilsteins on my car so thats done. I have a s2 r33 gtst. ive just realised today the inside camber wear on my car is bad.. the inside camber on my rears is bald, so need new rears asap. and my fronts arent too much better, but i think can get away with them for a bit. left side of car wear is a bit worse than right too?

So i have $1k i can spend. What do you suggest i do? whiteline springs all round and rear camber kit?

Is the price list on the main page up to date?

Cheers

Rob

i have used SK on several occasions and i can guarantee you will never have more issues than i have had (not due to SK's fault BTW, where the model variant i have has different parts to other models) but he has been helpful and always provided the correct part AND spent the time talking through problems i have faced.

you will get your parts.

no doubt the pm box has been full.

Sorry for the delay in responding to PM's, they come in faster than I can answer. I have answered 27 since lunch time today, only 42 more to go to get up to date. If you haven't received a response yet, then please be patient I will get to all of them, as I always have.

:dry: cheers :w00t:

Thanks for getting my order together and getting back to me Gary. My car is almost at the point of being undriveable so the new suspension couldn't come sooner!!

Cheers

what's involved in upgrading swaybars?, is it as simple as swaping them over??

and a price for front and rear posted to briz would be much appreciated!!

SK,

I've got what looks to be king springs on the front of mine and original worn dampers. It hits the cut shorter bump stops often. Is fitting bilsteins likely to solve this or should I order whiteline springs with them?

Also I have the adjustable sway bars. They are set on medium all around. Would you recommend maybe hard on the back?

Thanks,

Daniel.

Hi Daniel, it depends on which King springs you have. The Lows are OK, but the SuperLows are not. So check the part numbers, if you can't read them then check the heights, centre of wheel to guard. Lows will be around 350 mm front and 340 mm rear, SuperLOows are around 335 mm front and 330 mm rear

Regardless, lowwered springs and standard shocks is a not a good idea. This thread explains why;

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...c=103158&hl

The Bilsteins have the rebound valving necessary to control the higher spring rates, plus they have more low frequency bump valving to compensate for the reduced travel that the lowered springs result in.

I usually start of with the front bar on full soft and the rear on the middle setting.

If it oversteers too much, then I move the front bar to the middle setting

If it still oversteers too much, then I back the rear bar off to the softest setting

If it still oversteers too much, then I move the front bar to the highest setting

If it still oversteers too much, then you might need some more rear camber and/or the HICAS is still working (get rid of it) and/or the rear subframe alignment kit needs to be set to maximum traction (squat)

OR

If it understeers too much, then I move the rear bar to the highest setting

If it still understeers too much then you don't have enough caster/camber on the front

:P cheers :)

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
