Sorry! But anyone that uses CUT springs is a farkin dipstick IMHO.

For that matter, anyone that uses ANYTHING made by Pedders isn't much different either.

Go ask Pedders what their spring rates are and they REFUSE to tell. I have a set of N12 Pulsar lowered (30mm) pedders springs, I took them to Allsprings in Liverpool NSW and had them measured. With this information I then contacted Pedders and their technical dept told me the springs were exactly what I wanted when I said I wanted about 200lb/in. Funny that their own springs only measured 135lb/in front and 120lb/in rear, sort of the reverse for good handling in a FWD car.

Go ask them the specs on anything they sell and they will not give any other answer than what you provide them with. Not company policy to give out the specs they say!

King Springs are the best off the shelf, followed by Lovell's and both companies don't hide their spring rates. In NSW the legal lowering is 30mm MAX, but there is more to it than just buying a set of off the shelf if you want your car to handle as well. But if it's just looks your looking at and normal day to day driving go buy a set of Kings.

Someone on Ebay Item number: 220187413233 is selling a set of 4 springs for $235.00 which is a pretty good deal.

Cheers, D

If you have no joy finding springs on ebay try calling King Springs Gold Coast office and they can custom make you a set, cheap...

I got my "super low" springs from them and all they were, were stiffer than the factory ones and the same hieght so i got 60mm shorter ones made with the same spring rate and it's all sweet.. i think i paid $200-$250 for the lot.

What ever you do don't any Pedders crap

      braided lines for the turbos

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy Haven't really thought of that yet, but you are right. If the hose was damaged it should be absolutely pissing by now. I'll put some heat sleeve around it for good measure since I'm already removing the line anyway.  Maybe I'll put on some of the stock hardlines if I ever fully remove the turbos again. Maybe when T51R modding the compressor housings? Might be a fun mod on GT28s for that "fake single turbo" effect.

      Update 1: I did some work on the car already before finalizing this post and my "issues" list. I dropped the Tomei exhaust in favor of the HKS Hi Power Silent. Sounds nice and I can actually hear myself think now. Also gives me a realistic chance to legally drive without silencer inserts. A bit of cheating was necessary to still be able to mount the Top Secret style diffuser. Some malusage of washers and a bit of "convincing" toward the brackets and exhaust hanger seemed to do the trick. The shaky steering wheel has been resolved as various suspension components were worn, like sway bar bushings and link bars. Most notably the two steering tie rod ends. Had some trouble finding bushings because my sway bars are not OEM thickness, 23.x up front and 27 rear. But non adjustable, so no aftermarket I suppose. Maybe they are nismo units? Turbo oil drain hoses were definitely still the originals and are new now. Wasn't the cause of the turbo oil leak sadly. Currently removing the rear turbo because of it, I suspect the braided oil feed line is the culprit. This issue needs to be dealt with so I can work towards actually getting the turbo setup legal and inspected. Two new issues to add to the list as well. Rear Main seal is probably leaking. Time will show how bad it is, I don't really want to drop the gearbox right now just for the stupid seal. Could fix a few other things in one go once I do that. Front right driveshaft grease is going past the cv boot, so at some point I'll fix that too.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok so no 4cyl clutch... Yeah it is a factory manual. So if iam correct i need clutch and flywheel too? I can use something that suits something like R32 GTST?   EDIT: https://www.ebay.com/itm/224291042776 Is this ok?   EDIT2: i maybe forget to mention this(dk how important it is) but the trans will be behind RB25DET NEO(iam doing swap) It will be there for a little while. Iam planing to do bigbox or BMW tranny..

      You're probably right about that one. Thanks for your suggestions, I hope I don't need a new 3rd brake light. Although wiring issues might arguably be worse. Right now I'm in the midst of a turbo removal because of my oil leak, other problems are going to have to wait for now.

      Hell, I know that much. So far I just put it off as "part of the deal".
