Thanks for the feedback bro.. Just a few follow up questions; 1) The shocks they have priced me are Monroe suspension. Are they any good? Am I better off buying a different set? 2) Follow on question; where would you recommend I can have a look at a few other options? A website perhaps? Thanks!

Hi guys, I got a full suspension check done on my car (Series 2 R33) and they have found the following things I need to get replaced: Ball Joint (all 4): $304.00 Front Shockers: $660.00 Labour: $300.00 So obviously this is going to cost me a bit to do. I was just wondering if someone here could let me know if this is reasonable for what I am getting done? Or maybe suggest a place where I can buy the parts myself and have them installed if they are charging me too much? I would appreciate any input here guys. Thanks! dex

Thanks for that guys..i will look into those suggestions. Im guessing the 'pssh' sound is not normal then?

Hi guys, was hoping i can get a little help regarding the suspension in my r33. Firstly, is it normal for the suspension to make a 'pssh' sound when going over speed bumps etc? It sounds like air escaping or something? I also hear a creak sound from the front right, like when the suspension compresses? And a hollow thump sound from the rear left, like something rolling around in the boot. i heard this is also suspension related? These sounds are only evident when taking slow speed humps etc. If i were to replace some parts of the suspension to fix this, what exactly am i looking for? And at what cost? Apologies if these are silly questions. Im not very mechanically minded (although learning slowly) The skyline is my first car after owning motorbikes for years. Thanks! Dex

It was a fun night..was honestly the hardest I pushed the car in my 4 months of owning it! Was great fun unleashing it a little. Yea, me and scott lagged a little behind (hope I wasn't slowing you up Scott haha..I might need to be the last one in the group next time!) I need to get some new tyres before the next one..I totally couldn't trust my shitty chinese Hi-Flys for alot of the twists haha. But boys - your GTR's looked incredible. Cheers!

Already looking forward to it..wonder what the final count will be. This is my first time tagging along so it should be great.

Awesome! I should be there!

I would like to meet up for a drive / wash (will be my first!)..so anytime you have one on..count me in =) (From Mentone)

Thanks so much for the replies guys! I will check out those sites for some pricing. The do luck might be the way to go actualy, the slide seems very big.

Hey guys, I am wondering if someone can help me! I am after a rear bumper for an r33 series 2. I saw one on the street the other day and it looked great! It's a little hard to explain it, but the rear bumper looked like a drift style one with 'fins' running down it. I honesty don't know how else to describe it. I swear I have seen a photo of one on these forums..I just don't know the name of it! If any of you guys know the name of it, and possibly where I could get one it would much appreciated! Thanks, dex

I am also interested in knowing the costs involved in installing a few gauges (2 or 3)? Anyone with a rough estimate? Cheers!

Wow, I feel a little embarrassed haha. Thanks heaps for that guys

Hi guys, Could you please tell me what this knob does. (see Pic). Its the variable knob on the left side, with the incremental dots. I thought it might of been a dimmer for the dash, but it doesn't seem to do anything? Thanks! Dex

Just found out...child restraints or something....grr..ok need to remove them and everything to get some speakers in there

Hi guys, I just got myself an R33 - and I am loving it!! I want to install a pair of rear speakers, but am a little confused! I have attached 2 photos with what the situation looks like back there and there seems to be these 2 black brackets, that (to me) don't appear to be doing anything? Can you guys let me know what they are for? Could I just remove them to install my speakers? What else would I need to do to put a pair for 6 inch speakers there? Thanks! dex
