Spacers on, so much less hover-car-ness

Also some more plasti-dip action (rear gill things)

Also tried my kakimotos on (won't clear brakes without spacers)

Really wish i had a full set :(

(looks high because the suspension hasn't settled, and its pretty high susp too :P)

Have mainly been working on fixing up wiring under the dash, installed gauges, electronic boost controller and removing more sound deadener. Also mounted new wing, and working on front splitter to balance aero :)

Looking good fellas!

I've seen your car out at Shaw(?) a while ago Funz and wondered what was happening with it, good to see you post, you should start a build thread. What's the purpose for the car...sprints, circuit racing?

Before I call an engineer, can anyone tell me if height adjustable/damper adjustable coilovers can be engineered in Tassie and if so what requirements do they need to meet?

I've looked through the Vehicle Standards Bulletin 14 but this only talks about changing from one suspension design to another (i.e. double wishbone to McPhearson strut), there's no mention of specific requirements that a coilover shock must meet.

Looking at BC BR Type RS which don't have pillowball strut tops or adjustable camber plates.

Hmm that's interesting, I was of the impression you could but wasn't certain which is why I was asking. I'm sure I've seen cars advertised saying they are mod plated for coilovers. It might be best to just speak to an engineer, thanks for the input though, I was hoping someone might have been through the process already who could give me a definite answer

For anyone interested, I spoke to an engineer today who said you can get a mod plate for height adjustable coilovers providing they cannot be adjusted below the minimum ground clearance of 100mm.

And just to cover myself....talk to the engineer you plan to use before purchasing new coilovers ;)

Maybe call the guys at Drummond, proper motorsport shock and spring set and aren't designed to be super low. Mine feel light years ahead of the previous Japanese brand coils that were in the GTR.

so over xmas period i had mandatory leave period so decided to have a proper crack at cleaning up and painting the interior and cage. Managed to find paint in a can that was near spot on to the original interior colour which was good, even a green paint that was so close to my cars colour lol

(remember, I'm not a professional painter, it's not the best job but looks 100x better than it used to, and also.. im lazy)

Also gauge wiring is nearly done, only need to wire up the source wiring to the DIN rail to run everything :)

    • Hi guys, I’m new to the GTR scene. Picked up an R33 GTR earlier this year that needs a lot of love. I’ve been going through the hot side, changing all the gaskets and while it was all off I managed to score a set of -9s. It still had the stock ceramics so I was pretty happy to get the 2860s.  I live in a small country in the pacific with 0 performance car scene. No dyno’s no performance parts, let alone stock parts for a skyline. I order everything from Australia and do it myself. This means I’ll be running the stock ECU. Maybe down the track I’ll get an aftermarket set up and do a remote tune.  Will the car run -9s on stock tune safely?  I have a very heavy foot so I really hope so 😂   thanks guys   
    • perfect, no rush to address the leaking bush then, it's not doing much/anything
    • I'm not sure if it will bolt up, but.... I'm reasonably sure that the ID of the runners is somewhat smaller on the NAs. So it probably wouldn't be a good match at the flange where the top and bottom meet. So that would be a reason to not do it. And the skinny runners would be the bit you're keeping, which would be a reason to no do it. You'd want the big runners if you were doing any work to swap stuff. Why not just use what you've got, like nearly everyone else who has +T'd an NA? You don't need or want the TCS throttle or other stuff that is specifically DET inlet/crossover.
    • lol already been put in temporarily 3 years ago
    • Makes sense. For actuators, if the pressure itself isn't adjustable, that would mean I'd need to think about 2 different actuators with 2 different pressures on paper in order for them to work at the same time if the turbos behave differently. So measure the difference in psi needed to move both, and then get an actuator to match that difference. Assuming I cant get rid of it by adjusting the arms.  You're exactly right, never happens in gear 1 or 2. I can occasionally get it in gear 3 if going uphill but its very small. Only ever in 4 and 5. Seems kind of backwards that one of the points of VCAM is faster spool but if it introduces shuffle then it actually slows spool down.
