Hey guys just looking on eBay at these and saw two different prices, on closer inspection each one was labeled differently. The more expensive one said "With upper mount kit" and the cheaper on said "Without upper mount kit"

I have an R33 GTS-T Will i need the upper mount kit for my car or not? I don't know heaps about suspension so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks very much.

The upper mount kit is not mandatory because you can use your existing upper mounts from your factory suspension on the new coilovers. The more expensive kit includes these and does not require you to use your existing upper mounts.

also got another question, Whats the difference between

TEIN SUPER STREET DAMPER KIT

TEIN SUPER STREET COILOVER KIT

They look different but look like they do the same thing, and they both also say the same thing in the description

thanks

The damper kit is just the shock absorber without the spring.

The coilover kit is both the spring and shock absorber.

The top mount is an adjustable unit so you can adjust the cast and camber of your wheel. I forgot to look at what car you were driving before I hit reply but you don't need it on most cars and if your car has double wishbone suspension it wont do anything as the camber is controlled by the upper control arm.

    • All I can say Duncan is good luck and I hope that Neil did not run any E85 in Cheryl. I have recently experienced the full spectrum of fuel tank issues in my R33's that had been caused by E85 and contaminated fuel. When you take the cover off the top of the tank and have a look inside you will get an understanding of how easy it will be. Best case situation is clean fuel with minimal contamination. My GTR was like this and it was a very simple operation to just grab the fuel pump carrier bracket and slide it up and out of the tank. My three GTS_T's had different levels of fuel contamination that was probably caused by E85 in the fuel.  In the worst case all of the metal components in the tank had rusted to the point where there were pieces of rusted metal swirling around in the tank. This required the removal of the exhaust, the tailshaft, the complete rear cradle and the fuel tank. The components in the tank were that rusted that it took days to get the fuel pump carrier and the mounting brackets out of the tank. When the tank was finally cleaned, everything inside the tank had to be replaced. With the tank all back together I could then reinstall it in the car along with everything else that had to come out. Good luck and I hope that you find a clean tank.    
    • It is a two door. It is black and also still has the OEM wheels and stereo. Exact model would be KR_R32RGFEL_SS According to GTR-Registry.com is a 2 Door Coupe; RB20DE; 2WD no HICAS; MT.F5; (11L) Projector Headlamps and Fog Lights; (12_) Electronic Active Full Auto Air Con (Climate Control); (13-14SS) V Selection -- Which seems to be accurate description of my variant. Will try to upload a few pictures soon. The OEM wheels look like the below image. Image is taken from the goo-net-exchange website.

    • Welcome Gabriel. At least your car has a glorious RB and not the shitty CA18. As MBS206 mentioned all the good bits can be added later. Two doors or four?
    • And half of them have been converted to turbos.
