I assume you mean the springs.

My front is about 20mm lower than the back, this was unintentional. I got a set of Whiteline springs which were meant to be the same front and back, but this is how they turned out. It doesn't look too bad, but I have a big problem with steep driveways and speed bumps.

On one steep driveway I managed to rip the bumper off 1/4 of its mountings and tear up the paint underneath :D I learned my lesson since then though and now I'm very careful with anything that looks even moderately steep. The big ramp and Broadway shopping centre where I go a lot to see movies *just* scrapes, but I think it's something I'm willing to live with.

I had the same with my fronts being 30mm lower than the back. I got some whitelines springs and now the car is fully level and it feels so much better to drive and getting outta steep drive ways is easier. Does it affect performance??? i don't know but i used to back off quite abit incase i hit a bump and the front dips and scraps....my cars new ride hight is 345mm measured from the centre of the wheel to the lowest part of the car. It used to be 315mm which mean i could even put my whole foot under the car :D

    • Yep, replacing all those hoses is kind of just bog standard if you're ever back there. Only hose on the back of the engine I have yet to replace is a vacuum hose for the wastegate. I'll probably do it eventually but it's in such an annoying spot.
    • I was actually just planning on replacing the fourth gear parts in the gear box that I broke … like the synchro hub or cone. And any other parts I need once I open up the transmission. That a bad idea? The rest of the gears feel tight. these parts shouldn’t be too much … just the labour here won’t be cheap. Just replacing these in HK would be around 2k aud including labour.    how much is a new r33 or r32 transmission?    thanks for the good info as usual       
    • I chose a bad time to buy, at the time there was no gtst's for sale in NSW and my options were qld, vic, or sa and not the greatest examples or too far out of my budget. Ended up picking this one from adelaide sight unseen and got a bit stitched up as you could expect but i dont fully regret it, its just a shame people cant be more transparent in this day and age.
    • IMO just buy a whole R33 transmission and swap the whole thing. Use a palm nailer/air hammer with a roll pin punch to drive the shifter rod end roll pins out. The rod end is discontinued so don't break it. Use gasket dressing on the OEM paper gasket instead of RTV. I personally would not pry on the shifter cover tabs, I broke one trying that instead of just smacking the side with a dead blow rubber mallet to shock it loose from the RTV the last mechanic applied. If you can't get the flanges totally clean and free of any residual RTV and/or you might have a gap that is bigger than it should due to flange damage use RTV on that surface instead of the OEM specced anaerobic sealer. Anaerobic sealer is most likely the right sealant for the job, it's just too easy to mess it up with too large a gap or bad surface prep/roughness seemingly. If you do rebuild what you have it's for a whole gearset that can take high torque. Don't bother with OEM at that point.
    • Little hose. Big hose. They're all waiting to kill the engine.
