I know a lot has already been posted on this..but I would like to get confirmation.

I dont really want to lower my car but I would like to get a bit more dampning ...As I read it..R33 GTR shocks will fit the front and R33 GTST shocks will fit the rear. Has anyone done this? ie retaining the original springs and using good (aftermarket) GTR/GTST shocks.

Cheers.

Yep, the GTR front and GTSt rears will fit, but the shock rates (especially at the back, due to the extra weight of the Stagea) will be completely out of whack.

There's not reason why you can't get Stagea-specific shocks for your car and just set them up to the ride height that suits you. Whether they are Sydneykid's Bilstein shocks or something else is totally up to you, but just make sure that they have suitable damping to make sure that it accounts for the weight of the car itself as well as the extra carrying capacity available. Otherwise, you'll be changing shocks too often as they wear out prematurely.

LULZ!!!!

Nah, its just that this question has been asked before and a shitfight ensued that was quite entertaining.

Having said that, welcome to teh peanut gallery. Can I borrow that pic of Aunt Mary?

Popcorn?

OP

your an idiot

LOL, go Ian :D

I'm gonna go out on a limb and assume that post was directed at me...Ergo,

You aren't even worth the sustenance that can be scavenged from the rotting bowels of a dead bat in some subterranean abyss. Do your keepers a huge favor: commit suicide by flushing yourself down a toilet, you victim of mis-prescribed medication.

As Ellen Glasgow once remarked: "He knows so little and knows it so fluently."

Lol, its so funny that you cant read, or maybe you just dont know Internet abbreviations.

OP means ORIGIONAL POSTER

not random person that feels to talk.

I'm not done yet, this is way too much fun.

*shrug*

the fact of the matter is, you have nothing to contribute to this (or any other) thread, your lack of knowledge, tact or usefulness as a human being classifies you as a complete and utter oxygen thief and your attempts to justify your arguments prove to me again and again that you are an uneducated, inarticulate waste of resources

Oh, and excuse the f**k out of me for not being "down" with all the latest hip language you young folk of today use, but the fact remains that if you didn't insist on clogging up all the legitimate threads asking legitimate questions with your loud mouthed, bullshit theories then people would probably get useful stuff out of a search, instead of having to wade through pages and pages of you proving to the world exactly how much of a special needs bobble headed moron you actually are.

    • If the RB29 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.
    • Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.
    • Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice  
    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
    • My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
