Greetings all,

Been reading on here a lot and finally got around to joining. Well to be honest, I was finding all my answers here but have a problem I can’t figure out. So thought I would officially join, be a part of the community and hopefully pick some brains. In the meantime my ride is:

1993 R33 GTST with:

GTR body kit - installed previously 

3” exhaust - installed previously 

Coil overs - installed

Upgraded brakes - installed

Upgraded clutch - installed previously

R32 ECU with Nistune - in process of installing 

Walbro 255 fuel pump - installed

550cc Injectors - to be installed 

HX35 turbo - to be installed

FMIC - in process of installing

HID headlights - installed previously

etc.

Welcome, sounds like a sweet car. Pictures would be cool... (if you have some) [emoji16]

Brakes are not too crazy. Just went with the 350Z Brembo conversion. Pretty easy to do and rotors and pads are easy to get here.

Pics will be coming. It had been sitting awhile before I bought it and in need of some attention. It’s in a few pieces right now as I work on it in between work and life.

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
