Im particuarly looking at blistein shocks/lowered king springs combo but an open to other varieties. So if anyone here has this set up or any other coilover suspension who would be kind enough to take me for a ride in there car to make my decision easier that would be great.

duc.

whiteline? they used blistein shocks anyway, and design for australia road.

Other wise i will say nismo S-tune, similar price.

I believe nobody have more data about our nissan than nissan, they will always has the best balance between ride quality and corner ability.

yeah that may be true tin but i think you have misunderstood my post. I would like to ride in a fellow sau members line who has this setup so i can judge whether to go with them - whiteline/blistein or jap aftermarket coilovers aka tein/kei office.

I have Tein HA, they are a firm ride (sometimes too firm on rutted roads) but if the road is half way decent they handel very well.

An added benifit is available if your passenger is well endowed (bouncy, bouncy :boobies2:)

Nozila,

Unfortunately my car is off the road with an engine rebuild at the moment(and wont be back for several more months)However i can tell you without any hesitation at all that the whiteline package is as good as you will get,i have the complete package on a serII96 r33 and it drives like its on rails,its also got their latest offering in the adj swaybars,the only thing i didnt put on it was the pinapples as i didnt want to transmit too much drive train noise thru the shell.I will add that it doesnt pay to dump the car too low as this does affect the ride quality( ie thats not saying dont lower it,just not too much!)Also of note is that i dont run the 4whl steering anymore and this makes a big difference as well.

Hope this will help in your decision making,if i can be of any more assistance just reply....

Regards,

SKYLINE(Kym)...... :D

Guy(and Di),

Yeh, the stiff suspension has a great effect on large boobs,Sue and i mapped a cruise once out towards Mannum for svd and i made her drive topless on the way back(it was great!)My only complaint with Di is she is always covered up completely--- if you've got flaunt it!!!(HINT!)

Regards,

SKYLINE(Kym).... :aroused:

Nozilla, what r u changing suspension for drift, drag, track????. I have setup a r33

for track but still driveable just on S.A roads. The car has PSS9 bilstiens bump/rebound and height adjustable lowered the 25mm now sits 115mm too much lower screws with camber/castor too much. Full whiteline bush kit adjustable castor and rear camber. Rear blade adjustable 24mm solid sway bar 124% increase soft setting rear is 16mm hollow standard. Front blade adjustable

24mm solid sway bar 44% increase hard setting front is 22mm hollow standard. Tyres r Bridgestone RE55 semislick DOT rated (road legal) in WT soft compound.

If u have a standard R33 to compare I would be glad to take u for a ride.

yeah mate i have standard suspension. I notice that your profile states that you have a gtr, wouldnt that make a difference in the handling as opposed to your setup in a gtst. But yes i would much appreciate a ride.

    • For your application, where you'll be at that 1/2" size or perhaps larger, yeah, excellent. Although not if you need a tight bending radius anywhere, because the corrugated stuff is not anywhere near as flexible as rubber/teflon cored stuff. But for turbo oil lines? No. Too big. They just don't do the corro stuff down at the ~1/4" ID size that you'd want, and if they did the OD of it would probably be a bit too fat for fitting it into the tight spaces available. I use hoses like that all the time for fuel gases (LPG, NG) and liquid fuels (HFO, diesels, waste oils). When we did the London Olympic cauldron, with the 204 individual burners on it, we had miles of the stuff (although a lot of that was teflon core). A bunch of that crap is still cluttering up the workshop, more than 2 years later!
    • Would something like this be an option  https://processhose.com/products/configurable-metal-hoses/1-2-in-t316-stainless-steel-annular-corrugated-configurable-flexible-metal-hose-assembly-with-ends-t304-single-braid-masterflex-af5550.html I'm looking at this for replacing the OEM EGR when installing a aftermarket intake plenum 
    • The once piece tail shafts with cv type joints on either end are the ones that end up vibrating and the vibration is caused by the cv joint binding as it turns, I’ve also seen them explode from the binding 
    • Take this with a pinch of salt, it's from someone (me) who got annoyed with turbos entirely. I hated aftermarket lines. If I had the option to use hardlines with whatever turbo I had - I would use them, 10/10, 100% of the time. The only reason people go larger, heat resistent, shielded lines etc is because they have to. And yes they don't last forever. Even if you spend big bucks on all the best heat shielding money can buy, with the best heat resistant, fuel resistant, oil resistant, radiation resistant hose, they get stiff and break down and just don't last the way a metal pipe will.
    • Unfortunately I am quite literally halfway across the globe. So all sources for parts like that are far away for me. What do you mean by that exactly?
