Hi SK,

Your inbox is full again :-)

I just wanted confirmation that you recieved the $543 for;

BNF27Z Front stabiliser bar Adj $219.00

BNR26XZ Rear stabiliser bar Adj $219.00

KCA349 Rear Subframe alignment kit $105.00

tnx

Can anyone tell me what the ride height is from center of wheel to the wheel arch for front and back with this kit please?

Customary setting is 355 front 345 rear. You can change them to be different if you really want, but it works best at those heights.

Just make sure the bump stops are trimmed correctly.

Oh nice, same as my current tein's. My new gtr with stock suspension appears to handle better than my worked gtr with tein suspension so I want something that handles better than tein but doesn't lose the current stance it has.

Ive got a set of KCA439 rear subframe bushes... I'm looking at making the subframe bushes redundant as they are shagged out but i also want better rear traction... Should have around 600rwhp soon

Now i want to set them at "Maximum traction" but this is only classified as "reduced" rear mount compliance which "All round performance" is "minimal" compliance.

What would be the better setting?!? Im assuming "Maximum Traction" will still use the front 2 bushes more than "All round performance"?

Well I finally got the shocks, springs and front swaybar in yesterday. Then I started bucketing down rain so we knocked off (were working outside dammit). Will drop in the rear bar and subframe bushes at the weekend, then tee up with Fulcrum to do the rest of the bushes and wheel alignment.

Took the car for a good spin this afternoon and was mightily impressed. Even with the standard camber and castor settings and the stock rear bar this kit is good. Damned good. We have some gnarly roads in my neck of the woods as the local council just keeps putting patches on patches. Some of the bumps have been here for twenty years. No kidding. The Bilsteins cope effortlessly with both multiple small ripples and big bumps. Ride is firm but not nasty. I highly recommend this kit to anyone trying to make up their mind.

One thing to watch out for when ordering for a GTS4 is to check your rear shocks. My car had the rear suspension uprights changed to GTR units at some point in its life, which caused some headaches for both me and Gary as I wasn't aware of this when I ordered my kit. GTS4's usually use GTS-t shocks at the rear. So, do yourself and Gary a favour and have a look if you're not sure about your car. The standard GTS4 has rear shocks with an eye at the bottom and the GTR ones have a fork on them. Apparently some guys change the uprights because there's a greater range of stuff for GTR's. If yours have been changed you just get the GTR kit instead of the GTS4 kit.

hey SK, received kit today, thanks heaps! just wondering if it would be possible to supply my usual suspension joint with fitting instructions? sent u a pm but your inbox was full, cheers!

hey sidneykid,

got my order for a R32 GTR and i have been sent R33 GTR fronts, thats what it says on the box.

are they the same stroke lenght, shock dimention and valving as the R32 GTR, if they are thats fine. but are they the right ones.

i second that question

yeah me too.

still waiting for a reply on the mix up.

As per the PM, there is no mix up, you got exactly what I ordered and it is correct.

:dry: cheers :w00t:

    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
    • The stock manifold is "mostly" divided. The divider actually has a notch cut out of it where it would meet the divider on a twin scroll housing. I have no idea why. But whatever the reason, it would cause some cross talk when used with a twin scroll housing. People do put twin scroll housings onto that manifold. But I'm of the opinion that proper twin scroll internal gating is...not really possible at this scale. You'd be throwing good effort (ie $$) after bad, when you really should be doing something else. Notwithstanding that.... I am not sure what the idea that you are floating has to do with the difference in comp cover position caused by the highflow using a shorter length core than the stock Hitachi one. Can you clarify what you meant?
