I have a set of what I believe to be GAB coilovers, to suit an R33 GTS-T. They are height and damper adjustable (rears via a knob on the base of the shock). Red with alloy tops.

These came with my car and I drove around on them for a couple of months before switching to Tein Super Streets cause I wanted a softer ride.

In decent looking condition, but I think a couple of the shocks need revalving, because when they were on the car they made a bit of noise going over bumps and my car used to bottom out when going over big bumps at speed. Just being honest here. Other than this, they drove fine.

Fairly firm ride (probably stuffed shocks combined with typical harsh Japanese coilover spring rates). They handled very well (less body roll than my current Teins) and the ride height goes quite low. These are pretty expensive coilovers when purchased new, a proper Japanese racing coilover...but I have no idea what they'd cost to revalve...so make me a lowball offer and I'll probably take it. They're just gathering dust with me. Located in Victoria but can post interstate. Will post up pictures if someone is interested.

Cheers.

sheet balls - I would have paid more than $100 as long as the top mounts are OK and fit a 2.5" ID spring.

Waiting for the next set of shagged coilover for Skyline (no matter which model).

    • 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..
    • The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.
    • Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
