"A workshop" (Not Centerline, as in actually NOT centreline) I wrote my car off as most know. Bought new car, cool Moved perfectly working suspension from old car, to new car at aforementioned workshop. They weren't damaged or affected in the accident in any way. Get car back, front is mysteriously low. Like, super not right. Take them back, ask to adjust height this time and not have a 45mm rake which didn't exist on the previous car. Front was like 325mm center to guard, rear was like 365 center to guard. Specified heights on old car was 355/345. Anyway, was told the fronts were maxxed out. Then was told they were "able to be fitted because dis-assembled/re-assembled" and heights are good now. But they were fine before, in the same model of car. After that, the fronts are crashy as, they will slam into bump stops over speed bumps, as though the shock has nearly no dampening at all... though the height is right. Also knock, creak, etc. Never really got a reason why this occurred. Just a lot of handwaving when pressed for any details. Hence wanting to go elsewhere for a 2nd opinion on the shocks by someone who will know Bilsteins back to front. Was planning to go to Quadrant for this, but have had other car issues in the meantime

Actually I didn't have issues... then I HAD issues after taking my suspension to a very well known shop that isn't Centreline... ......so, looking for someone who actually knows Bilsteins.

I had/have some issues with my suspension (bilsteins) Was considering going to Quadrant. Seem to have plenty of good reviews. Seems like they know Bilsteins well as well, which is what I'm after.

That alone is enough to make me consider an EFR, even if the GTX is 'similar' in the range I have mine. If the wheels really are that light, and the transient response really is as amazing, it stands to reason that anti-lag would be far 'easier' to activate. Makes you wonder what'd happen on the limiter under load though

It would appear I had the best viscous LSD in existence because this Nismo is worse in every way (currently). I would however wager over time my viscous would flog out with 400rwkw and this Nismo will break/wear in. But currently having it skipping while going around an 80kmh bend isn't really providing more grip for me, given my Viscous didn't actually single spin at all Even though I had the Viscous diff, and my Nismo box had the Viscous part number on it, I was told I absolutely needed the half shafts as the center in the box would not fit my original half shafts. So no light shed there as to which center to actually buy. Mine is the GT, not the GT Pro. Would recommend the GT Pro, if only so I could make it lock less (for me)

Hi Folks Set of LMGT2's in 18x8 +33 and 18x9 +39. These are 5x114.3 (or 10x114.3 really) and have offsets that will fit a stock-guarded Skyline pretty decently. Unsure on how it'll fit on others, absolutely welcome to come and test fit if you are worried. The tyres on the rear are some very shagged/not very legal AD08R's, the fronts have a new (as in 300kms new) set of 235/40/R18's that I was planning to keep and use later on my new rims, so I'll remove them for sale unless you're willing to pay extra as the tyres are depressingly expensive. They are used and have clearly had some gutter grinding on them in the past as they're 20+ year old rims and thats how these things happen. Do have the center caps and new Nismo stickers if you're in to that kind of thing. I suppose I was but I didn't end up putting them on. Photos of car show how they sit on my 34 with 2.3deg camber on the front and the 235 AD08R (265 on rear). Located in VIC, will ship if need be but I'd rather not.

Unpopular answer: What you have is actually the best/most fun setup long term. Anything more than what you have the "fun" to "BS/Cost" ratio goes massively, massively down.

To add to the above post, I have 18x9.5 +27 all round, with 265/35/R18 AD08R (supposedly a little phatter than most) on all 4's. I have -2.2deg of camber at the front and about 1.5 on the rear. The guards DO need to be rolled/pulled a little to get these to fit. After driving around for a week without this being done there were many bad sounds and long strings of rubber peeling off tyres and such. I don't think this would have been a problem if running 245's like above poster ^---- The rear does tuck in under compression (I have a large amount of squat in the rear of my car when on the fun pedal)

Yes indeed I did lol. I got it right as I saw GTSBoy's post >.> I am a bad person. But yes - ONLY the R34 Series 2 manuals have a helical from factory. This is 8/2000 to 2001 models (not many in AUS but they do exist). I have a series 2 myself but it's an auto. Also fun, many many plugs and sensors are different to the S1 because.... reasons? All signs seem to point as GTSBoy said, the center is a different part number only because it has to mate to the helical half shafts. I suspect the GT Pro model number is the same for all cars as it comes with half shafts to suit. But again this is a suspicion there.

Where oh where are all these elite guard rolling people available on a whim? Never seen a service so not-responding to contact attempts!

Yep, the theme breaks it. Works fine in default theme, the dark theme is no good. Funnilly enough its only the forums HOMEPAGE that breaks. Works fine if you are in a subfolder.

I can't seem to load this page on Edge at all. Just attempts to load SAU.com.au/forums over and over then gives up saying the page can't be loaded or "there is a problem with this webpage" Works fine in IE, Chrome, FF. Dunno if reported yet but hey now it is!

Hi Folks I am after a set of rear drag rim/tyres that will fit a R34. Something along the lines of a 16" rim and a MT ET street. You know, the kind you have in your shed and bought and used once and then never again kind of thing and it's just sitting there. Sell to me, so it can continue the cycle of life after it sits in my shed after being used a few times! Please PM if this applies, Cheers!

farken too right m8

Simon that is tune man lol I can't imagine having any modded car with an ECU I can't touch now, would be required from everything going forward, SO worth having!!

I've left my car outside recently, covered in frost, started at 5am, water temp was something like ... low. Like "I should really consider the viscosity of this water going through engine" low. I.e, nearly frozen. Started fine. It's not really very hard to find out. What it needs is trial and error and most people aren't going to take their car back from the tuner and be happy to play with cold start settings. I was and I enjoy that so it was relatively easy to take the time to test but I can understand not wanting to pay $150 an hour over a course of a few days to get it bang on. Most people are happy as long as the thing actually starts. I am too, but I also had the tools handy to make it better, so I did that. I agree with you re: 270rwkw, housemate has S15 with 265 AD08R's on it and I say "stop there it's fine". Nice, responsive, grip, excellent. 400kw peak power at 4500rpm and holding that peak till 7500 is great but unless I run drag tyres (and a wheelie bar) up HWY it won't translate to much forward momentum. It does have its benefits once you have grip mind you, i.e where 4500rpm is 4th gear. Though it would be pretty lolsy getting up on 2 wheels on a traffic light drag. May have to go birds hunting.

The same? The only oddity I've ever noticed is that from switching between E85 and 98 it seems to bring up some kind of residue that likes to clog my fuel filter (which is removable and cleanable). To be honest though, having 400kw at 4500RPM is kind of pointless (cause grip) so really I should be just running 98 all the time cause there's no practical loss of anything in switching between them. Trying to tune them though you notice quick smart which is the better fuel. That alone makes me want to daily it on E85 tbh, its just a far better fuel, the car is just far, far happier to run on it. Smoother, way less charge temps on intake, etc. I'd personally want to use it when driving hard even if the power increase was 0. As for winter start being problematic, is an E85 myth. Couple of cranks (literally 2) and good to go.

OK.. I should re state. It is STILL running.

my car is working its time to start making massive changes

I am looking at this myself as I was wondering if I can get close with 9.5 +27. I have -2.2deg camber at the front, and happy to roll and maybe even flare guards if the price is right to get it done. As you have it, how close is it from being feasible?

Ahhhh. Looks a little like that guy was running thinner tyres than me. May get away with a spacer if there's any other 34 GTT'ers out there reading Any idea on what they actually weigh?

What exactly did these fit on? I have 18x9 +38 rears and I put them on my front to test and it didn't clear the inner uprights (with a tyre on the rim). This is on the front of a R34 GTT. Otherwise would probably buy these asap cause light weight pretend racer over here.

Enough to wear down a set of AD08Rs, actually!
