Hey B-Man Just quick question, you mentioned that you installed your coil overs yourself. An easy job you said. Can you possibly advise on how exactly? Thanks heaps

G'day All, Firstly let me apologise for posing this question again. I have searched the entire forums trying to understand the suspension lingo, however have no fricken clue on what the hell each mod does or more importantly, how it affects the ride. So where to start. I'm about to purchase a completely stock R33. Wheels and all. What I want, is a car that corners and holds traction really well. I come from a land of Commodores, and they handle like absolute shite. So what should I get. The hype has been without a doubt, with coilovers. WTF are they exactly!?! I know the symptoms, excellent road handling with a really hard ride to boot, but does this suit my application?? I don't know. I see so many threads mentioning the sway bars to reduce body roll. Well thats good, thats what I want, but will coil overs answer these problems? How about strut braces, how do they come into play. Oh yeah, and what the frick is a pineapple!?!? Or camber or dampers. Moreso, how will changing it benefit handling. I guess, I want an overall solution. I have checked threads, the whiteline website, and numerous other suspension related pages, however nobody can give me a straight answer in laymen's terms. So yeah, basically I want something that will assist in making the R33 handle really well, ie, corners and holds the road really. Well. People tell me coilovers are the answer to everything, are they?? Again, thank you to all who reply. I apologise for my ignorance but hopefully I can gain some valuable insight here. Scotty

Hi Bounce, PM sent. Cheers!

G'day GR8NES, Email sent. Basically said, if you have the single din dash tray insert, can I have first dibs on it. Thanks.

Is it still for sale? If so, please email me on [email protected] with some pics. I'm in Melb, so I have no problem in dropping by to check it out. Thanks!

Hi, Can you please advise on the Pioneer, 8450 or is it 8550, cant remember, the one with the sliding silver face. Thanks heaps!

May I ask, how hard are they to install? Couldnt find your previous thread, but may I ask, how was the ride, handling etc. how many km's have you done with them. Your honest answer would be greatly appreciated. Can you also do COD to melb Thanks

Hey dibigbolf, would you mate possibly have the single din insert with the cover. Basically the ash tray but bigger that fits in the dash. pm me with price. Im keen. Thanks,

Hey, Do you have the single din insert. I know you said ash tray, but still, here's hoping.

Done, I'll pick it up from you asap. Were abouts in Melb are you from. I'm from the South eastern side. Can we catch up. I have work and class today. But how about after that? Thanks heaps PM again if you like

Hey, you mentioned that you have a series 1 el gauge, you mentioned that the cluster is stuffed, but how about the actual white gauge itself. I mean, can I use them on my own cluster? Also could you email me a photo. My email address is [email protected] Please PM regarding prices. Ps, I'm in Melb also, can COD be arranged Thanks heaps!

Thanks Zman, I did check out autobarn. But they don't have one that I want. Ie, with the door etc. Antsy I know, but yeah, DROOOZ©®™ and luck CR@ZYM@X!!!, how much were you thinking of charging? Thanks.

Hey DROOOZ, I sent you an email. Did you get it. Thanks again. CR@ZYM@X!!!, err just bought a R33, so to answer your question, no I don't really have that much right now.

errr, anybody?? Pleease!!

Hi Southo, Thanks for all your effort in obtaining this information for me. I guess, yeah I'm keen to prevent it from getting it stolen, and would only like to track purely as a contingency. Thanks again, and I look forward to your reply.

G'day Surreal, Errr, hmmm, could be a slight problem. Then again, what a great incentive for a road trip! Oh well, dAVE, if you can provide the details of ASR, that would be fantastic Thanks all!

Surreal, Can you tell me where you had it done for $150. I live in Melb, so I'm hoping you;re near by. If so, can I have the details of the place. Thanks!

Hi Dr_Drift Would you happen to have the side and rear skirts still. If so I'll take, them. Please PM so that we can discuss. Thanks.

Hi, Not too sure if you have these, but do you have the flaired side skirts and rear skirts? If so, how much would you be willing to sell them for? Please PM me? Thanks!

Hi QIK78U Can you please advise if you have any R33 series 1, side and rear skirts? If so at what price? Thanks heaps!

Hi gtrken & ice180 I concur with you both, all it comes down to is WHO you are willing to hand over your money. Craig and Geoff are without the doubt the most knowledgable importers in this industry. Services, quality of work, is much of a muchness, so you'll end up with the same regardless. So back to the point, Kev, stop procrastinating and get off your ass and do something about it. I understand that time is running out, so given all these other people's opinions, what excuse do you have left?

Southo, Thanks for your comprehensive reply. Your input is greatly appreciated. Given you comments, I think I will err towards the NavTrak system instead. I guess my final comment though, given that there is traking, is there also an alarm component? That is, with the rrp of $1950, does that include like a siren, immobilisers etc. I mean, it's great if the car gets stolen, but what about preventing the car from moving at all? Of do I also need to purchase an external alarm again? Thanks.

Hey, Can you please also send photos to [email protected]. Where abouts in Melb are you? Thanks.

Good Afternoon Kev, As promised, here's my two cents. Firstly while I spoke closely wit Geoff, I ended up getting my car through Craig from J-Spec. There were basically two reasons why I did this. Regardless of where I went, the service, auctions, cars and prices would have been relatively the same. What tipped my over the edge was that Craig actually lives close to us and I could actually meet him in person. Sure I can appreciate that the majority of the importers can work online given their reputation, however for that extra peace of mind, it doesn't hurt to meet with the man. Now as for Craig's service. Let see, I consistently hounded him on a daily basis nominating cars that I wanted to bid on, he also went to the effort in looking at other cars in car yards to possibly find a deal. I actually came close to buying a car from a yard, which would have ended up cheaper, however this one came up first. Being naive on the importing process, many a times I would ask him dumbass questions, as well as sending him SMS's all throughout the night, he did not seem to mind at all. Now I'm sure Geoff offers the same quality of work. But I guess, what erred me to Craig was that he was at least he's in the same state as I am. Hope this helps. Thanks,

Hi All, I tried to do some research on all tracking products, and the other product that is raved about is Navtrak. I presume its pretty much the same thing, however can anybody give an objective view on any differences between the two. Apparently Navtrak boasts that no car has ever been stolen with this system. Again 24/7 monitoring is given for the same price however was developed by the Brant alarm group. (make the Nemisis alarm that comes standard with all new WRX's) Anyway, so which one is better. Anther question I have is that given that tracking is done via GPS, my concern is what happens when the car is parked underground. The concern is, will tracking still work when it's a few floors down in a car park? I've tried to scour the forums here, but nobody can give me a straight answer. Can anybody here please advise? Thanks in advance.
