Front are ID 100 and Rear ID 080

also have a rear assist spring (i think they are assist they are at the top of the coilover) with ID 040

Why get Swift springs from Japan when you can just go down to the place who are going to be doing your alignments etc and use that as an opportunity to discuss what you want and get them to source the springs for you through Kings etc. Why gues and experiment with Japanese sourced parts when your local place to assist you....god knows some very quick tarma cars come from Perth....LF Performance etc springs to mind

Its not a issue buying springs from swift, as i know the length and spring rate i want (will buy from US as it will be cheaper atm)

But before buying spring i would like to know what the spring rates i have just incase i can use them

do they have a part number on them? I know the eibach's do, just type it into google and you get the spring specs

no part number just what a posted aboved

im assuming that is the dia of of the spring wire. will shoot off an email to swift usa and see if they can help me

brad what die set bender would you recommend?

for starting height, i would have thought standard ride height would be better than anything, assuming nothing has been drastically changed initially.

speedwerx. All Aussie made and possibly one of the best die set press benders I've ever used. ( I've used alot of them too)

Tony direx is the owner he runs the business from his shed and his son locally machines

and fabricates all the benders parts.

They are air/hyrolic or manual. Tony currently stocks die sets up to 2 3/4 but has 3 and 3 1/2 in testing stages currently.

From memory the bender is around a grand and each die set is between 500 and 700 bucks.

They bend everything including stainless, 4130 and alloy.

Wait up your building a "track car" and not even putting a real tire under it???

I think your building a catolouge " tough" street car that might go to the track.......

The guys have made the exact suggestion I did about buying springs locally from someone who knows what theyare doing as opposed to guessing yourself when you have no idea, which seems to be an ongoing trend.

At the end of the day I can see three or four guys in here making good suggestions, ash, Troy, marlin and savman who I'd regard as actually having an idea. It's your money to blow and far from any of us to tell you what to do with it.

Every page seems to have a question about a component with a list of catolouge choices, guys suggesting better components or brand choices then you buying the catolouge, finally not being happy with the finish anyways.

I don't get it... Why ask just go buy the parts YOU want.

Building a caR isn't a popularity contest, no one cares if you have the fanciest looking track car out there. If it or you don't perform it becomes a joke.

My rant is over.

Moral of it go buy what you want and set it up how you think is right.

Or take peoples advise and speak with knowledgable bussiness' about buying the right parts and doing the work right.

At the end of the day it is my track car... i can do what i like regarding parts and how i build it.

Just because you or someone else suggest something doesn't make it the right or correct way, there is more than one way to achieve a goal.

Quantum Racing Suspension recommened using Swift springs with their coilovers, i know the lenth of the spring and what size OD will fit so know i just have to pick a spring rate its not rocket sciense and im pretty sure i can do that.

and regarding the tyres, i have a limited budget... my current tyres are shocking and need to be replace i couldn't afford to buy both semi and new tyres for the gtr. And as i mention the car is street driven by my old man so the priority was street tyres.

I ask for advice to get a good overall view on the matter, then make my choice from there...

i'm not here to get rant or lecture from other members about why they think im doing things wrong, i ask for help on matters to help me understand the "issues" better

Its not lecturing, you ask what is good so we tell you, you then pay it off and do your own thing anyway.

not so correct... i took people advice on the engine and leaving cams stock and just getting a set of cams gear before i get it tune.

spring rate i plan to use 10/10 but have since change to and will be getting 6,7,8 and playing around with them.

rims size and offset i have listen to what djr said regarding what fit and doesn't fit and have bought rim to suit the semi (when i get the cash for a set)

Turbo took people advice regarding turbos and are looking for gt-ss or garrett similar (whatever is cheaper at the time i have the money to buy)

Suspension arms etc took people advice and going to start stock and then get some track time and then buy only what i need to improve the car time (rather than buying out I.K)

I'm trying to understand why people don't think i listen to people i have change alot of the plans due to people advice.

Also as i mention don't know why i need to pay a suspension place, to get me my springs for my coilovers. I know most places in perth won't have much experiences with the brand. and i have the spec for the springs just need correct spring rates to be order (why pay for a market up on the springs when i can order direct from the company and save some cash?)

Just be aware a lot of people are putting in quite a bit of time to try and help you Kaido, and I guess it's natural to not want to feel like your efforts are for nothing.

It's not compulsory for people to share their views, knowledge, or information, but when they do most people want to feel like they're not talking to a brick wall, and that some of its getting through.

:no:

fair enough, i understand and are very thankful for all the help and input people have share and put into this topic, it has save me time and money from doing things backwards.

I know i can come across like im not listen but i am honest :D

On i more important note:

with whiteline adjustable swaybars, which setting is the softest? is it the adjustment closest to the bar or the one is further away?

So what is a good base setup for the sway bars? Middle F and R?

Go softest to start off with. it's very easy to alter at the track with just a jack and two stands.

Softest is the "outer" most hole, ie, furthest from the bar.

The information in this thread is getting taken in by alot of ppl like myself who are building track cars without all the shiny bits, so i hope you all don't think its getting ignored as it is extremely helpful!

    • The cross sectional area of a circular hole scales with the square of diameter. So a 2mm diameter hole is 4x the area of a 1mm hole. Not double. The 1.7mm hole is nearly 3x the area of a 1mm hole. You do not need restrictors at both ends of the oil supply line. If you have new, additional restrictors at the turbo end, that you did not have before, then you do not need a restrictor at the inlet end.
    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
