wow not bad..

so wat exactly was needed?

The lower fork mount for the rear shock is 5mm wider than the bush, requires spacer which I made on the lathe.

I used the upper mount off the originals but used the rubbers off the BC's

The height on the rear is wound right out, this is as far as the springs can go. You could possibly run a thicker rubber spacer, or new springs if you needed more height.

I would say this may have been designed for an arx, do the actual mounts change position on those compared to mine?

hm.. very intresting..

ill find out more about it in time

Looks good Scotty. The rear is very low.

From what I have read there is no difference in the components between the RS and ARX for suspension.

I would love to rip the wheel off one. Anybody around south east Melb with an ARX? :P

So what gives the ARX its height if the parts are the same?

It is the springs, shock and wheel size.

If you want to send me your VIN I can check some of the part numbers be your car and mine and see if they are different.

You mentioned that you used the mounting on the rear from the old shocks. I had to do the same with the Bilstiens also.

Hi Scotty, if you still need to see an ARX, let me know...

Currently in the UK, but will let you know when I am back...

Keep an eye out for a silver ARX, it should be locked in the garage....

Drop around for a coffee if you like.

    • Hi all, I’m currently running a str pipe hi low hks exhaust and downpipe. Was wondering if I change out muffler to a titanium one will it change the sound of the exhaust? Plus I have always liked the look of the titanium pipes … anyone have recommendations to one?    side note already have titanium intake pipes. 
    • I looked up my other car that is a R33 GTST series 1.5. Anyone able to confirm what a Aero Form Bumper is?     (1G) 2 Door Coupe; (2GK + 11V) RB25DET; (4B) 2WD HICAS; (7F) 5 Speed Manual; (14G) Super Fine Hard Coat; (15U) Large Rear Spoiler + Aero Form Bumper + Rear Wiper (Aero Selection)
    • Ha ha, all good! I've almost caved in and realised I'm buying one.  I know myself well enough by now that I will start chasing ADHD butterflies half way through building it and not finish it so I'm better off spending the extra money buying one instead of making one just so I can get into straight away.  I would very much enjoy making one as fabrication is probably a strength and definitely a passion but I don't want that to be at the detriment to the car I'm ultimately building it for! There's some pretty good ones around for ~$1100 at the moment so I think I'll just go that way.  At the end I sell it or as mentioned, get another project to make further use of it! Thanks gents.  
    • That link was very helpful thank you.
    • That is the option code, not the VIN. Regardless all of that production is considered series 2: https://gtr-registry.com/en-ecr33-vin-table.php
