Gab Coilovers Suit R33 Gts-T

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).

      Comfortable replacement seats for R32 GTR

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      As strange as this sounds (as they are fixed back), my Bride Xero CS seats are the most comfortable seats I've used.  I vote go genuine.  The only downside I've found is on very long drives, you can't reposition your body while driving. So even though its comfy, being locked in the same position eventually becomes uncomfortable. I find myself stopping every 3 or so hours to stretch my legs on long drives.

      You don't have to be bored driving a Camry. Not based on the way that a couple of f**king Ubereats/Didi/othersortofmethaddlednightshiftattheservicestationrecentimmmigrants were piloting them on the way to work this morning. f**k me dead!

      FWIW, the Bride reps are really nice to sit in. The only complaint I have, other than the tear in my bolster, is that the velcro used to hold the backrest cushion in place, up under the headrest, is a little obvious and intrusive and could probably be done better. I don't know if that is a "feature" on the genuine ones also though. I haven't looked at a genuine one like the ones I have, only some of the older models. The other thing is, even though I bought the CF ones, I think the CF is really just decorative, over the top of the same FG as the normal seats. And so they really aren't light. Between the solidly built CF/FG seat, the steel frame in the recliner mechanism, and the solid-arse seat rail, they are probably heavier than even the stock seat. They are a serious lift to get in and out of the car.

      Yes, and so the barest minimum power target is the one that makes the most sense. Massive power is fun, but you can only use it for 1.5s at a time, and only every now and then. Medium power levels allow you to enjoy the car far more often and for longer. 500 engine HP is just below 300 rwkW which is about the maximum that is sensible for any street car really. And for a 2.6L six, it will still leave you with a decent boost response and some sort of linearity of power delivery. As you get up towards 400rwkW the onset of power tends to be increasingly like a cliff and you need drag radials to keep the ground in proper contact with the car, and.... it's just not a car for driving around any more.

      I already reached that conclusion myself after reading up a whole bunch and watching various videos from multiple sources. Don't know yet how I'd best manage that with the least amount of headache. Probably pulling the sump and just welding on a AN10 adapter or something. I also think it's healthy to take most opinions with a grain of salt, because experiences differ wildly and especially Aussies - when talking about RBs - don't know a world below 600whp drag builds. Personally I doubt I will ever take my R33 racing, so it's going to be a street car with the occasional spirited drive. Hence why I am (so far) under the impression that I'm going to be fine with a stock-ish engine for a while.
