there is a group buy on r31skylineclub for some H&R springs with matched bilsteins, have you seen them? would they suit your needs? I had similar in my 31 with swaybars, was a good drive.

King spring low.

front 3.2kg/mm

rear 2.9kg/mm

Why are u running r33 springs in the rear when s13 coilovers fit right in with very little trubble.

s13 coilovers also fit in the front with some moderfercation (i.e diffrent parts)

also allows you to run r33 gts-t front brakes.

Yeah I had the same thought you did and brought some s13 hubs and arms then worked out it was to much to spend for very litle gain.

The r33 struts in the back is because a mate had 33 struts sitting there out of a half cut and just decided to give it a go and it worked well and when he stripped the car I grabed the whole diff, struts and arms it off him for my car for $150 because i wanted the 3.7 ratio and another set of arms to put my new bushes in

and as for the front end it has white line springs, kyb shocks r34 gtt brakes so I cant see the point in spending all the money to go to s13 front end. ill profer to spend that money on swaybars

Ah your front end is very simier to my old front end but i used r33 gtst brakes and had k-mac adj camber caster top hats. yep get some bigger sway bars, strut brace, cusco brake master cyl brace ($110 from powerplayimports under r31 house) and nolerthane bushes and it will handle realy good

can you shed some light on yuor rear end i.e pics im a bit confused

All the bushes are nolithain and yeah Im allready looking at swaybars, strut brace and the cylinder brace.

How hard were the camber tops to install?

As for the rear end well its a long story but a mate got bored and did it on his budget track build (I.e. under 4k build of pintara rb20det, ebay t3t4 turbo kit, r32 front brakes, weldy you get the idea) and it ended up in my car when the bushes went in just to see how it would go in my car

Im a bit hesedent to post photos due to looking a bit dodgy but the set up has done about 8k worth of driving, 4 track days and 3 drag meets with no signs of problems. tho there might be one in my build thread \/

Can you send the pics to [email protected] then.

as for the camber tops its pretty easy.

remove the front spring assymenbly fromt he car.

then atach sping clamps (they compress th springs)

compress the springs so the tension is take off the top hat.

then undo the nut in the center of the top hat and remove top hat.

install k-mac adj top hats re do nut release thenions on springs and reinstall

get wheel aliment

that easy

then to adj jack car up losen the 3 nusts and move the spring around.

      Thinking of getting a Q50 300hp and just tuning it instead of getting the Q50 Red or 400R

      By 180 wanabe · Posted

      So next year I am looking at upgrading from my VE SS bomadore ute to something more refined.  I wanted to stick with a V8 but not anything German or Australian, either a coupe or a sedan. So if I wanted anything newish that limited my options to either the Lexus RCF which I quite like. But with the price they demand and a kid on the way a 2 door coupe is probably not going to be the best idea. The next best thing would be the ISF but the newest models are 2014 and commanding over 60k and even the older 2008 models in ok condition starting around 35k is kind of bullshit. So I figured if I could not have the noise I could perhaps make do with easy power. Enter the infinity Q50 or Skyline equivalent. The price difference between the 300 and 400hp models seems a bit crazy. Right now there is 300hp Q50 one on carsales from a dealer with 61km for 27k drive away. If I wanted to get a 400hp Red or 400R car the prices seem to start at 43k From my limited research it seems that the only differences are that the 400r/Red Red runs more boost and a more aggressive tune. There are are turbine speed sensors on the turbos. Has 2 pumps for the water to air intercooler. Runs an engine oil cooler. I'm guessing that the exterior trims might look a little more sporty as well. I had a lazy look for upgrades to bridge the gap on z1motorsports They have kits that upgrade the water to air heat exchanger as well as the coolant pump which should give a non Red/400r better intercooling temps than the stock Red/400r. I added an engine oil cooler with a thermostat as well to try and make things as close as possible. Obviously the ECU is going to need a tickle. Having not done much in the way of research they also sell a ECU flashing tool with pre loaded tunes that are supposed to boost the non Red/400R by 100hp which adds 1k USD to the cost. The total cost of the parts @ the current time including shipping and taxes worked out to be $4350 AUD. Personally I would rather get the car tuned on a dyno which would probably add more cost Assuming the worst that you got a workshop to install the new parts I would guess no more than 5 hours would be required in the worst case @ 5 x $150 per hour = $750 So the total cost could be around $5100 So for easy number 5k + 27K = 32k I guess that would leave some change left over to swap out the open diff and fit a LSD Any thoughts?

      Blow Off Valve Is Causing Car To Stall!

      Right, not sure why I thought it to be a lean spike. It might be fixable with modern card-style hot film MAFs which have some design features to avoid counting reversion flow but I've never tried it myself.

      I'm only going to hassle you for posting links to images. It's against my policy to click links that could be some nasty payload. Sadly, you need to make 9 more posts before you can just stick the images directly in a post, unless @PranK sees this and bends the rule for you.
