Can anyone recommend suspension modifications for an R33 GTS25T for track days, ie., Supersprints? Better still can anyone recommend a Skyline specialist to do the work? I live near Nowra but I guess I would have to go to Sydney to get same.

I have fitted 17x8's with 235x45x17 street legal competition tyres but the car has stock springs, shocks and ride height.

Hi Paul SM,

Whiteline have a suspension kit, details on the web site. 2Rismos car was the development car so you might want to pm him to see what he thinks about it. The kit should be able to be sent to pretty much any suspension shop since the developments already been done.

I have the Whiteline kit im my R32 GTSt, and very happy with it. If you are looking for a road car setup that will look after you on the track then it is a good compromise.

That said i drove an R33 with Nismo castor rods and susension arms, with HKS coil overs... and oh my god. On normal road rubber i was matching, on some corners quicker then the corner speeds in my car with semi slick tyres. But rides pretty hard on the road.

Either way speaking to whiteline would be a good place to start, i understand they are a distributer for Drummond coil overs as well if you want to get really serious. They should be able to find a setup to suit you.

Thanks Roy,

I have already been pointed in the Whiteline direction by two other members and have acted immediately. I had the full kit - springs, shocks, bushes with caster camber adjustment and adjustable bars installed by Selby South Coast.

July 20 and 21 at Winton will be the acid test.

P.S. you're right about the ride - it's very firm but I guess I'll get used to it.

      Nah, it's not the reduced knock margin. It is a direct mechanical effect of having to initiate the combustion earlier, while the piston is still rising, which starts to exert combustion pressure on the rising piston earlier, making the rest of the engine work harder to finish driving the piston up to TDC where the combustion pressure stops being a negative and starts being a positive. Your modern engine that only needs ~10° to make MBT doesn't waste the other 10 or so degrees of crank rotation. That's almost all of it. The difference in knock margin might go either way. Remember that modern engines to which you are currently comparing the long tractor engine (the RB) are now running super high compression, direct injection, tricky cam control and maybe even cylinder pressure sensors. You're not comparing apples with other fruit. It's apples and sea weed, or some other evolutionarily primitive vegetation. And remember, squish only really comes into play at the very end of the stroke. It certainly does good things, but it is not the biggest contributor to what's going on. It is quite possibly much less important in 4 valve head than 2 valvers also, because there is so much less squish available to a 4 valve anyway.

      Food for thought, a longer stroke motor would need less ignition timing vs. a shorter stroke motor requiring more ignition timing.

      Thanks Duncan, HART is only 10 mins from me (I did my bike license there), it'd be awesome if it ran these types of things.  Sutton Road does look good and they take fewer cars than SMSP which is good.  Surely you have enough land to lay a few million tonnes of concrete and some sprinklers D?

      I thought an engine that needs more ignition timing to make power is going to result in less power due to reduced knock margin? More time for the combustion to propagate -> more time for it to heat up the rest of the mix to detonation.
