Hi,

I have read throgh the whole thread and I have some questions about this very interesting group buy.

Im looking to lower my GTR, but I want to have it as soft as possible. I have had other cars before with coilovers and they were allways to hard/firm. I wonder what springrate the whiteline springs are and which of the whitelines that is included in this package (control or flat out) ?

Anyone know the standard spring rate of the GTR (none V-Spec) ?

The bilstein shocks, how are they compaired to the standard shocks? 

Do I need camber correction when lowering the car with the whitelines ?

BR, Stefan

Sorry don't which ones are fitted - I would suspect Control

My car came from Japan with some Teins - these are way too stiff for me! The Bilsteins fitted as part of this group buy are quite firm and sporty over normal roads but allow the car to glide over speed humps - pot holes etc. My daily drive is a 2007 XR6 - the Bilsteins feel firmer around town than the XR6 but the Bilsteins rides the bumps like the XR6.

Do I need camber correction when lowering the car with the whitelines ?

After lowering the rear camber was too much - I fitted one set of KCA 347 to get the camber back to about -1deg.

I will have to look at the front camber soon as this is a little too much as well.

I would recommend you buy the bits from Whiteline and contact Gary Cook (SydneyKid) to purchase the Bilsteins - He has them valved to his specifications.

Hi Gary,

Is the group buy still available for R33GTR?

Is it possible with this setup to make it easily height adjustable? Something like a circuit kit for the shock.

If so would there be any real benefit in lowering the car for track work as all other suspension components would remain the same?

Thanks

Michael

Thanx for the answers Blk33.

    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋
