Oh god....how horrible do those feel

had to put it in for regency and oh god was happy to change it next day

Doesn't feel horrible at all. I haven't driven a skyline with aftermarket suspension parts so to me it's actually nice after coming from a car that had suspension hard enough to crack the chassis which is one of the reasons I fairly reluctant to lower this car..... just don't want to go back to a harsh dumpy ride.

I think that my stock sus was shagged but i was so much happier when i had the normal sus in and the stock sus out.....felt so much nicer

with the stock sus i was hopping sideways once i would hit a bump/hole

I've asked this elsewhere ...but I'll ask here too ...

My tiptronic box has failed (solenoids) and I'm carrying out my manual conversion earlier than planned, so haven't quite done my homework.

Does a GTR manual box or GTS4 box bolt straight into the Stagea? No mods to tailshaft or mounts?

I'm aware of the other things required, like: drill out plate for shift stick, change over pedal box, need clutch kit, change over center console, change over handbrake etc. But are the boxes the same length and all?

Anyone? ... >_<

hey Pete, got your message but didn't have time to call you back. Sucks you couldn't come to Kadina - bloody weak excuse though! >_< You missed out on a huge one bud - was an absolutely blast, despite the weather.

Yeah I got 4wd spec standard suspension on my R33 >_<

I have stock suspension in the 32 aswell, but its new stock suspension (previous owner did it). It feels fairly stable on the road, but I have been told by people behind me it suffers from a bit of body roll. And no doubt it would feel alot better with something decent in there. So, are coilovers actually defectable? - bit confused on that one.

Good luck with the manual conversion Ruby!

hows this.

i paid for a fuel pressure regulator on ebay, the seller lives in henley beach so i initially requested to pick up the item. i got no response, so i thought fk it, ill pay the $15!!!!!! postage just so i can have it in my hand.

i waited 2 weeks and the item did not appear, i messaged the seller about it. all i got was gaurded responses like, i definitely posted it and the seller was a little rude in each and ever message. For the following week i intermittantly dropped into both of my local post offices, but they had no records of recieving the package.

i messaged the seller again asking for the details from the aus post reciept, so i could lodge a service complaint with aus post, but got no response for a week and a half, so i thouhg fk it, my $$$ is gone so i left negative feedback, along the lines of OK communication, however item not recived.

the seller had the nerve to ask me to revise my feedback (within 10 min of me posting it! ).

i have just written this to the seller... you guys reckon its ok to send?

** DEAR SELLER**,

im curious about the comment you left on my feedback "the item was definitely posted +post office has confirmed postage". you never confrimed that for me, or gave me the postage details from your reciept for me to follow it up. It amused me that i was waiting for days for a response to a message requesting postal details, but your reply to my feedback was almost instantaneous. I feel the negative feedback is valid due to your reluctance to directly assist me with the information that you have. on a side note, using the postage calculator on the aus post website http://www1.auspost.com.au/pac/aus_parcel.asp when im am generous with dimensions and weight (20cm square, and up to 1kg) standard postage from 5022 to 5048 is $7.20 not the $15 charged, this could have all been avoided if you would have allowed me to pick the item up as per my first message to you after winning the auction. Please let me know why you wish me to revise the feedback.

hate it when ebay morons screw you over.....i was searching ebay for a rechipped ecu to suit my auto turbs r31 for ages with no luck...went back on the forums and a guy in henley beach had one...i asked how much...he said he just upgraded to a haltech so he had no use for it so ...$30??...i said ill be there in an hour...lol...i reckon yur letter is quite valid but....go kick his ass

They legit if you get them welded at a legal height so they cant move up and down, and i think they may need to get engineered with that.

Seems fair to me, i would have done something similar too.

They legit if you get them welded at a legal height so they cant move up and down, and i think they may need to get engineered with that.

you dont need to get them welded at legal height.

get them engineered with your car and then they are legal and dont need to be welded, adjust the height accordingly .

if you get done for too low , raise the coilovers to legal height , go to regency , present engineers report and your fine.

my mate has his r33 engineered with coilovers.

only time they need to be welded is if you go through regency and get caught with coilovers in :P

    • 2 more things I have to work out Easy one first...can anyone describe how to pull the fuel pump and sender from a 33? I can feel there is some sort of mount and clips but don't have a manual and don't know the trick......if not I'll spend some quality time in the boot witha lighter tomorrow. Second question is harder.  He had changed the upper plenum to a plazmaman but clearly got to a point with the vacuum hoses where he said "f**k it, I'm going inside for a beer" and never came back to that job because it was a mess. Am I right to think that I need: 1. Pre throttle (16mm nipple on inlet) to AAC's main 20mm fitting as the main pre throttle feed 2. ACC has a second 13m outlet joined to that 20mm fitting which I think is the pre throttle air supply for the cold start valve? 3. Cold start valve's outlet fitting then goes to Plenum (to bypass throttle?) There is some adapter on the back of the ACC with 2 fittings (13mm and 10mm), do I run the 10mm through a 1 way valve to the Brake Booster (4) and the 13mm back to a 13mm nipple on the Plenum as the Idle control (5)? 6. Run a 6mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart BOV to the Plenum? 7. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Fuel Pressure Reg to the Plenum? 8. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart Boost controller to the Plenum? (Wastegate already has a pre turbo pressure source running to the solenoid then the wastegate on the other side of the bay)  Any help appreciated, the GTR is quite different setup and while the Stagea also has FFP it is different again. (And no Dose, I'm not pissing it all off and putting a ethrottle on it....)
    • OK, onto some questions to try and speed up the process a little. Does anyone know what core this Garret is? I know it is a high flowed standard turbo but nothing else about it. Tag says OK 0169J - 446179-5032 Same question for the injectors, I don't know what they flow and ideally can work it out before it hits the dyno, they are a mustard yellow side feed
    • Quick side trip into the engine externals, alternator and PS were in place including tensioned belts, but the PS was dry (my guess is he had the steering rack reco-ed). Filled it up with Transmax Z but it will need more bleeding once the engine is running no doubt. BTW I've said before, I don't know what kind of soft animals you have in the city, but out here they breed the rats tough. I bet they were disappointed when they tasted synthetic ATF.... Coilpacks are Splitfires with a factory loom in reasonable condition. I didn't pull one put I bet the spark plugs are new as its a new engine
    • Onto intake pressure test. I have a Raceworks (damn brand thieves!) pressure test adapter that lets you apply pressure through a standard tyre valve and comes with a pressure gauge.....I just blocked off the other end immediately before the throttle body. Applied 30psi....and the turbo intake immediately popped off with a bang. Sorted that but it was still leaking, turns out there is a pinhole leak at the BOV adapter that I'll have to find a local place to TIG up. I'm sure it makes SFA difference with such a small leak but I want it to be right. Everything else up to the throttle body was good. Also cleaned and oiled the KNX cone filter, and this is the AFM if anyone can identify it (car runs a PowerFC)
    • I'll send you a message, but until I know what is OK (and anything that isn't) its kind of hard to work out a fair price. BTW I'm just helping out here, ultimately it is Mel's call what she accepts but I know it will go sooner or later.
