G'day everyone

I have been looking around trying to find out information about Shockers for my newly purchased

R33 Series 1 GTS-T 4 Wheel Steer AKA HICAS.

Im pretty certain the shockers are stuffed, but im not sure what i can replace them with

I have read different information Saying that it will need Similar Shockers to a GT-R in the rear.

Can anyone confirm what Shock's i can replace mine with (fingers crossed just a Standard 2WS GTS-T will be fine)

good but economical replacement is BC coilovers.

MSG 'boostn Imports' in the business trader section and he will know what you need for that car im sure

Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm hoping i can just get standard shocks, doing a fixer up on a budget, So will be more after second hand shocks that are compatible from someone who has upgraded to coil-overs

Kyb do new shocks to suit

Check part no.s on kyb website

Front something like 341287 rears 341222

The 4ws doesn't change anything in regards to shocks

Fronts are about 160 to 180 each. Rears about 140 each

Kyb excel g.

If you buy 2nd hand shocks they won't be much better than what you have. R33 are almost 15 years old now and most still running original shocks unless upgraded

    • Hey all, I'm sorry if this has been discussed before.  I have a 2008 Japanese import V36 coupe with nav but without Bose. I bought one of those AliExpress android screens, which for the most part works really well.  The only thing that doesn't work is the air con controls (well sort of) and the factory reverse camera.  The AC can be controlled fine but it doesn't report the change in temp and mode to the screen, and the volume knob/other audio controls from the panel don't register on the learning app.  I am pretty certain that the problem is the difference in the head unit between base model (Nav but no Bose) 2007-2009 coupes and anything after 2009.  Mine is the one with the blue connector all the way to the right as seen in this forum post:  The reason I think this is there is one wire left over that doesn't fit anywhere on this head unit, or in the factory screen which also uses different connectors to more recent versions.  I've seen the upgrade from OWC, and have sent the guy a message on eBay but no response yet.  I also don't particularly need the whole kit, just *maybe* an adapter for this one cable.  Did anyone else here have the same problem, or have any insight about what I can do to get this working?  I have been in contact with the seller but all they seem to be able to do is ask for more pictures and videos. Minor edit to add:  I have been researching and found a screen on Aliexpress that actually specifies my head unit in the listing, so these things do exist.  I will contact the seller to see if the wiring adapters are interchangeable with other screens.   Thanks in advance!
