Hey guys,

Which springs should I get for the R33... I pick it up tomorrow YAY! It has spanking new 18" rims with stock suspension, 4 W D hehehehe..

So just wanna chuck on some springs to lower it a little, not too much, dont want to have to "plan my driving" but want it to look nice ;)

King springs quoted $450 fitted with wheel alignment

Pedders $610 fitted with wheel alignment

Whiteline springs? $295 a set on UAS + fitting?

What do you guys recommend!!

And also how long do they take to fit? is it hard to do it yourself *shivers*

Springs are easy to fit. Just make sure that you have some spring compressors (pretty cheap at kmart, supercheap etc) or someone really strong to compress the spring for you ;)

http://www.horsepowerinabox.com have king springs for R33 at a pretty good price and a wheel alignment from Pedders or somewhere afterwards would be cheap.

Install the springs yourself and save some money. Should take you around 1-2 hours tops to change all four springs.

This is how you get your car to handle properly. Springs is but one of the necessary ingredients.

Hope that helps

hi hippy, im actually sticking with the teins. I can order genuine Tein springs for the coilovers or have them made by industrial springs. As my dad knows the boss there that will be the cheaper option. (genuine Tein springs made to my specified spring rate are about 300 a pair!)

so my kings lows are for sale again i guess! Did you get your suspension sorted yet?

      Out of curiosity, how do you cover up the inspection hole? Surely it doesn't sit open like that, right? With grime and dirt coming in and oil going out?

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything
