Setting up my R33gts-t for drifting, basically wondering if anyone people could give me some input, maybe you have set yours up for drift suspension wise, an can talk about your setup. Wat you think should be done next? Going to get myself a hicas lock bar. Been looking into tie rod ends to get more lock out of steering, however havent located R33 ones yet does anyone know if R32 ones are suitable for R33. What suspension would you go for Konis/ Blistein/ Tein or maybe something else, i want to be able to rebuild them if necessary, (heard a place in queensland will rebuild tein :Bang:) looking into blistein an koni cos i got some mates who got some pretty good contacts with thoughs companies.

Current setup

-Rear adjustabble whiteline swaybar (22mm on hardest setting)

-Rear cusco strut brace

-Front whiteline swaybar (24mm)

-Front GTR stru brace

-Cusco castor rods (positive 6 degrees castor)

-Car came with lowered springs (suspension should be next)

Cheers Tim

good set of adjustable coilovers....either tein or cusco or juc...there heaps of brands, I think even whiteline make some, with some pillow ball upper mounts. I have tein HA's and there rather stiff, good for drift!

Floor brace an roll cage will make the car even more rigid.

Nismo 2-way mechanical diff would be a nice addition

set of pineapple bushes for the K frame, an better g/box mount

better clutch ready to take a pounding

camber kits for the front arms, better camber kits for the rear (with more adjustment)

215 width tyres on 9inch wide rims an a Nardi steering whell an your set :D

:D

thanks abcent

i already got a 2way mechanical, tomei its very nice. I got some uras pineapples in there as well, heavy duty clutch, got momo steering wheel, an 3 sets of stock rims. Yeah tein been proven so thats a pretty good option just heard no one will rebuild in melb. heard of very few cars running koni or blistein, they would be a better option for me due to a few people i know may be able to get cost right down and rebuilderble. Yeah would definately be up for a floor brace had trouble locating one second hand, roll cage would be nice but dont really want a bolt in cage would like a fully engineered one $$$$ pretty exspensive. But know one can answer weather r32 an r33 tie rod ends a compatible???

    • yeah i agree paint match stops it from standing out so much, oh that's actually really good to know i was wondering if it would help with air flow now actually having an outlet in the bonnet. Will have to focus on ducting into and out of the radiator now to make the most of it.
    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.  
    • I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
