Gary,

When installing the whiteline rear springs - i had to go to the third highest circplip groove on the strut before the spring would even touch the top hat. Is this normal? ie I had to go to the second highest circlip groove to get a better height.

Adrian

Yes, quite normal, I run mine in the top circlip groove.

:D cheers :D

adn will also damage your shocks over time due to reduced stroke travel, they have hte possiblilty to heat up too much from the short strokes.....

No it won't, the shock doesn't care what part of the stroke you are using. In a mono tube shock (like a Bilstein) it still holds the same amount of oil, just different amounts above and below the piston.

In a twin tube shock, when you lower it excessively, the excess oil is transferred into the outer tube. This places more oil between the inner tune and the atmosphere. But oil transmits heat better than nitrogen, so the shock would in fact run cooler, not hotter. The temperature difference being so small you would never notice it on a road car of course.

:D cheers :D

Hi there Sydney Kid,

I was put on to this thread from a mate as i currently need new suspension for my R33 GTR. Not very mechanicaly minded so alot of stuff here is giberish to me.

So basically can i get a quote to for the best setup you think would be good for my car?

Cheers....

try pm'ing around or start a new thread to see if anyone who has ordered SK's kit in the last while still has relatively good shocks to use left over from an upgrade.

just checked SK's profile guys

FYI

In Topic: R33 Gtr Bilstein & Whiteline Suspension

Sorry for the delay in responding, especially to PM's. The video card in my home PC died and it took me 4 days to find out what it was and fix it. So I am about 110 PM's behind at the moment and trying hard to catch up. Add that to the workload at Superior Suspension (12 to 14 hours a day, 6 days a week) and it will take me a few days to answer everyone.

Hang in there, if you have transferred money, it's safe, I am not going to run off to Brazil with it. You won't miiss out, the Group Buy isn't going to end soon as I have spent some time with Bilstein securing the shock supply for a couple of months at least.

Advanced warning, I am off to the US for 5 weeks from 1st October to 5th November. Checking out some east coast action, Detroit, Chicago, Daytona and the SEMA show in Vegas. So when I don't respond to PM's or emails in that period, I am sure you will understand why.

cheers

just an FYI on his behalf so we know what's going on

we can still order i am pretty sure but i believe SK is under the pump at the moment

Just keep trying to PM him...

I stil can't get though

His last activity on the site was on 24 august so i'd kep checking his profile till it appears that he's been online - then send him a PM and hope that he's seen to some of his Messages :D

Chances are i presume he won't be able to get your order in in a hurry though...

but here is my direct deposit details though in case you want to send ME the money :kiss:

bank

branch

et alia...

I'll send you a lollipop, a paperclip and some spare postage stamps:D

hahahaha

Yes... I have found that some images which have 'disappeared' can be found in his SK's profile - this may or may not be the image you're after:

I thought I fixed up all the links in this thread some time ago. Certainly the price matrix is working for me. Anyway, PM me for details and Matt will get back to you ASAP.

Cheers

      Have you done your thinking backwards? 3 bar, 43.5 psi pressure drop being the presumed specification for an injector, means you need 3 bar upstream when they are firing into atmospheric pressure, and more upstream pressure than that when on boost (you add your boost to your rail pressure to maintain 3 bar across the injector) and you need..... less pressure upstream when you have vacuum in the manifold. So, presuming that you're idling at -10 psi, then you only need ~23 psi in the rail. I realise that I did not need to say all of that to you specifically Matt, once you'd realised your mistake. It's mostly there for complete clarity for others.

      Have you reached out to the guys at Spool Imports? They are a Ross dealer, I can imagine they would have the rings just sitting on the shelf (I could be wrong).

      Back for more after 18 years - and where are the longnose R200 LSDs?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There's one for sale at Grand Auto Wreckers in Lonsdale (SA), for .... let's suggest the sum they're asking for will make you cry. You may have to embrace the idea of modifying the rear subframe to accept some other diff. You could probably find a way to wangle a shortnose into there, with a custom rear adapter and some sort of shenanigans to relocate the front mounts. This has probably already been done by others, so there might be some guidance available as to how easy/impossible it is, out there in the googles. But you possibly needn't restrict yourself to Nissan diffs if you're going to contemplate that. There are similarish Toyota diffs, possibly some Euro ones, possibly some Seppo ones.

      The ball joint taper and arm taper have to match angle and diameter, but just doing the bushes is a much better option.....seems like the industry moved to "it is cheaper to replace the whole arm than take on the labour for changing this bushes", glad the aftermarket supports it

      Gee she looks a bit rear heavy in that first pic! Sounds like a great project with the kids, but as I guess you know R series stuff is getting hard to find and pre that is pretty much impossible these days
