glad i'm not the first person to say it. was trying to clean my LMGT4s, used that cos it is 'gentle' but honestly i don't think it even would clean my hands...

Got a spare set of wheels sitting in the garage taking up space. Getting rid of them. Specs: Front: 17x8.5 + 30 Rear: 17x9.5 + 40 PCD: 5x 114.3 Tyres on fronts are BRAND NEW Kumho KU31 (stretched) Tyres on rear are pretty much bald. Condition: One is pretty much perfect - newly repainted. The other three have light gutter rash, I think light enough that a simple powdercoat would fill them out. the VOLK/RAYS stickers on them are peeling so will need new ones too. I bought these wheels AS THEY ARE from the previous owner. I never put them on my car as soon after, I found a better set of wheels and bought them, so these have been sitting in my garage and now I'd rather have cash in my hand than wheels in the garage. These are genuine, they have the stickers on the back + FORGED in japan etc behind the hub. Pics are from previous owner, as I'm at work right now - but I can assure you they are exactly as they are in these pictures. I will also get a few more pics of them in better lighting. Price: 1700$ negotiable. Location: Sydney, (northern) PM me if interested - interstate buyers welcome, freight paid by you (I think it'll be about 80$ judging by previous rates?)

Give Me A Ride Or Opinion (Please!) - Bilstein Or Coilovers

Give Me A Ride Or Opinion (Please!) - Bilstein Or Coilovers
darksky34 replied to darksky34's topic in New South Wales
I asked 'wholesale suspension' (a distributor of King) and they said ~30mm drop from stock height. This was for the 'lowered' springs (there are also 'standard' and 'super low' and 'raised'). you reckon I should go with other springs? any other recommendation? SK told me that he did a test (recently) on the Eibachs and found it wasn't suitable for our roads, which is why I looked at King. -

^my budget is ~$1500. So your GTR Bilstein setup isn't on-car adjustable? I guess for some people there's really no need for it to be adjustable like that. People like me. I won't be getting Eibachs as SK has informed that their spring rates aren't as suitable to Aussie roads as King spring (for example) are. -
R34 Gtr Vspec Nur Aluminium Pedals
darksky34 replied to cooke24's topic in For Sale (Private Car Parts and Accessories)
just received mine yesterday, roughly 2 weeks after postage. can verify this is genuine product and a good seller. Cheers Richard -
Alright guys, time to make final decision regarding my suspension. It's come down to: Bilstein + king springs OR HSD coilovers (recommended by a few mechanics I've spoken with) OR Cusco coilovers (undecided on model yet) These are listed in no particular order, though Bilsten and HSD are more in my budget I think. My purpose: Street only, will never/rarely hit the tracks. Want comfort and handling as top priorities so obviously a compromise will have to be made regardless of what I choose. Is anyone able to give me a ride in their car with Bilsteins+Spring setup? I haven't actually been in one and would like to see how it is, especially as my mechanic said they would still be a bit harsh for AU roads and thus still recommended me HSDs. And budget is ~1500$ as evident by choices listed. Thanks for your help!

Wheel Alignment Advice
darksky34 replied to jhjones's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
Thanks GTSBoy. Great post above me. So i guess it's a good idea to tell the mechanic to check the HICAS tie rods for bends, assuming the rims themselves have been hit on the kerb by previous owners!? -
