Got a quick query; are the Whiteline springs with the group buy kit (both front and rear) a better buy than say Tein S. Tech Lowering Springs to suit the WGC34? Can anyone comment on this please?

Also, how would the Whiteline front camber set compare to the Tein front Fixed camber kit?

Lastly, can anyone confirm whether R34 / 34 GTR rear shocks only will fit in the rear of a Stagea?

Cheers for your thoughts...Brendan

I don't think i will. He's supposedly got a really good reputation, it'd be a shame to put a black mark on his record. i'm going to take the car back for an unrelated problem anyway, and i'll mention it to him so he knows to look out for it in future

Hi Brendan. suggestions to your questions follow;

1. Yes, Tein are well know for having rediculously high spring rates, like most Jap suspension. The shocks have simplistic valving and are also very harshly valved.

2. The Whiteline polyurethane bushes are adjustable, and have sufficient compiance so as not to cause excessive NVH or cracking at the location points.

3. Nopwe, GTR's have forks on the bottom of their rear shocks, Stageas (except 260RS's of course) have bushes, like GTST's.

Check out the Group Buy for more details

Hope that answered your questions

:) cheers :)

I have TEIN coilovers, but as stated, i haven't had a good run with suspension until now. what i have noticed is they're very very stiff, but when i have full load i don't notice the car bogging down much more than when it's empty.

probably means they're a good spring for heavy cars. they work well for me, as i do carry around a bit of stuff half the time.

Thanks fella's. I had read about your problems Termianl, thats why I was after an opinion for tein vs Whiteline. I dont do a whole load of carrying, so Whiteline will be the go for springs.

Regarding the rear shockers - I bought a full set of KYB shocks and Tanabe springs, for a R33/34 GTR. The fronts are forks whilst the rears have bushes...... wasnt sure they'd fit that was all.

Ive now been pretty much assured that they will, just got to put the correct springs on. Plus the camber, plus castor, plus swaybars, etc etc. :angry:

Never ends!

Cheers - Brendan

well i took my car for a drive thismorning and it's still pulling violently to the left. maybe the toe in was a symptom of another problem somewhere else. this is starting to really sh!t me off as the original guy who put my suspension in has a really good reputation for working on expensive and high performance cars.

god damn......was it that way B4 the installation?

might have to retrace the installation?

doesnt it shite you / stress you out when there is a major problem like that going on, and it seems out of your control?

good luck Mr-T.

Well thanks to Marc2 spending some time on my car one day, i've now found the reason my car pulls to the left. i know rear camber is factory at -2 degrees. when i got my whiteline bars installed, i had a camber kit installed which can reduce this amount to -0.5 degrees. what has been found is that my RL cambre is -2.28 degrees, and RR is

-1.43 degrees.

To add insult to injury the front camber is also way out, with FL -0.36, FR -1.15 degrees.

Anyone have any theories how my camber can be so wacked out even with camber kits installed to create MORE camber than facotry?

Also, none of these can be adjusted any better, they're at the full capacity of the kit

Very interesting, need a bit more information.

What are the centre of wheel to guard measurements?

I have played around extensively with our Stagea and this is what is needed for each height increment;

Standard (100,000 k's) height is 385/375 mm front/rear

360/350 mm needs only the standard rear camber adjusters

350/340 mm needs 1 front camber kit and 1 rear camber kit

340/330 mm needs I front camber kit and 2 rear camber kits

That is to get the front to 1.0 to 1.5 degrees negative and the rear 0.5 to 1.0 degrees negative. The 0.5 degrees tolerance is because every car is different.

:rolleyes: Cheers :P

Are the stock springs on stagea's generally Dark Blue/Blue??

Have a little bit of a look round mine yesterday whilst doing the stereo install, and noticed my springs are dark blue. Generally l thought nissan only used black springs

Sooooo ..... any idea's on what they are?

Will have to measure your car against mine alex when l come round ... might try and come round before l put the new wheels on (as in keep the stockies on), as l somehow think 19's might throw the height out a bit!! :) :lol:

Nope, the centre of wheel to guard measuremtns are the same regardless of what diameter wheels are used. That's why we use that as the reference measurement in all cases.

:D cheers :D

,22 Nov 2005, 04:13 PM]Just wanting to confirm, the part no's for the whiteline springs are:

Front springs -- 83139 (23139)

Rear Springs -- 70191 (20191)

Nope, fronts are supposed to be 83159, rears are corect at 70191. I am working through fixing all the listings at the moment.

If you have 83139 please PM me and I will arrange for a swap.

:rolleyes: cheers :D

    • Before you blow your car up, have you checked you've made all the correct modifications to the wiring if you're still using the RB20DE loom?   Some things to look at: The pin used for the map sensor on the RB25DET, is the same pin used on the RB20DE for the Ring Gear Crankshaft Position Sensor, no idea what you've got it plugged into now. The turbo pressure control valve solenoid you're talking about on the RB25DET, the same pin is used for the Variable Air Intake Control Valve on the RB20DE.   The factory manual has the wiring pinouts in it for you to check everything. It also has the diagnostics process to read codes out. In addition, there's a great table that shows what sensors and what actuators not functioning will relate to which signals. And Nissan confirm the as everyone else has from experience, the Solenoid being disconnected won't cause a fuel cut. However, the turbo pressure sensor being missing / wrong, WILL cause a fuel cut. https://www.nicoclub.com/service-manual?fsm=Skyline%2FR34-Workshop-Manual-English.pdf
    • I've been hunting info on the G Series II - this is best I have found so far(Link below). Still waiting on the G35-1150 comp map, kind of very keen   So how do we go about getting precision on that little table of yours ?   https://turbosbytm.com/sites/default/files/product/technical-info/Garrett-G-Series-II-Product_Flyer 25 30 35_1.pdf  
    • yeah I get ~0.6L per session into the catch can. very ethanoly. It ends up overflowing out the breather of the catch can on circuit days too even with a 2.3L capacity catch can and I only drain out ~0.6L max. So every session I have to come in and drain the catch can, which is a hassle. So this is me cracking the shits and doing everything I can without removing the motor (back of head sump drain/breather and oil restrictors off the table). plans short term are: full length splash plates remove oem cam cover baffle add foam and reinstall at -10 or -12 AN fittings to the side of the cam covers down to the sump (luckily I already have fittings in the sump) Yes the ~340,000km unopened motor is probably not helping things
    • I'd use any fuel safe foam....mine went in 15 years and 15 rebuilds ago, still getting reused I'd have to say I don't understand swapping to studs to fit a particular baffle unless you are having a massive blowby issue, and even if you are addressing crankcase not head breathing is probably the next step.
    • BTW, the reason I came in here to "update" this list was that the Garrett G Series II range have been released and I've updated the list with their flow details if you're curious to check how they fit with previous Garretts and other brands The G-Series II G35 990 looks like a banger...
