hey trying to fit my old wheels that fit fine on my old skyline (94 gtst) on to my newer one (96) but after i fit i rolled out and then there was rubbing -__- the wheels are 18x 8.5(235) front and 18x 9.5 (245)rear offset is +37 all around they clear the calipers but i think the control arm was very close on the front lik few mm from the tire. All my old car had was rolled gaurds and coils this one has king springs on the front and i think it is to low with them, would puttin stock springs back on the front fix this problem? will they fit again?

So roll them already!

Possibly, but if they rub now, they CAN rub with higher springs, it just takes a bigger bump for it to happen.

So in summary, roll them :laugh:

ok sounds good, should i just put the stock springs back in the front because it only had kings in the front not the back and then roll them as well and just wait for coils. Also anyone tell me how much it is to roll, i was told go tech9 see them any other ideas iam sure some people on the forum have there own roller or something...

usually about $50/corner.

how low was your old car compared to the new one? there is no difference in guard width/hub in S1/S2, so if it fitted your old car, there is no reason why it wont fit the new one (with the same mods of course)

well i think the front is a bit lower easy lik 1/2 inch but the back isnt so i think stock springs needed and then a roll. they are back with there rightfull owner i should never have sold them in the first place they are to sexy with the silver paint :P

soooo if anyone has some stock front springs laying around they wouldnt mind selling/giving me you know what to do ^_^

      High temp brake fluid?

      By Komdotkom · Posted

      Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!

      Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!

      Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

      HKS Vcam Step Pro Issues

      By believer · Posted

      I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
