When you talk about the whiteline kit are you talking swaybars and bushes (handling pack)? It would be worth checking out the group buy section as there is an r32gtst buy on atm i think.

As for coilovers, there are heaps, i wouldn't recommend many of them for street work, as the spring rates are way too high. You are really just going to have to do a lot of reading and gather peoples opinions on the various types available and what sort of driving they do. Also consider the whiteline spring and shock combo if you will only ever see street driving.

The wheels are less important, sure the 34gtr rims are nice but they will be difficult to fit and are bloody expensive to boot, mainly because they look hot!. Some second hand jap lightweight 17's will be your best bet as far as cost/performance goes.

yeah thanks for that ill check the group by out now. im not really worried about ride comfort at the moment i just want my car to be a handling machine :pwned: (but ofcourse i dont wont every bump to shack the shit out of my car and course any damage to it).

thanks guys im gonna buy the whiteline handling pack, but they say to make sure that i get it installed by someone that knows about there products. Does anyone know whos familer with whiteline products in the brisbane area?? well with my choice of coilovers or seperate springs and shocks im still not sure what to do... ive said that id like my car to handle good now i realise thats a pretty broad statement, so ill try and explain it better... i want to take corners pretty quick i enjoy taking my car out to winding roads and getting some speed up + i also like do mountain climbs which consist of lots of tight and narrow corners.... i hope that kinda explained it a little better, thanks again for all your replies.

I'm also new to suspension in Skylines. Wat would be a average price to pay for Coilys? I'm looking for some coilys atm, but the BN kit's going on and going to make it damn hard to reach the right ride height with springs. Unfussed about Coilover brand.

    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
    • Hmm not really, I'd say its race car life or modified car life when you make 3 or 4 times the power Nissan designed the car for lol. 
    • I'll let others with more breakage chime in, but I can't think of anyone who had a problem with the standard centre plate before they had a problem with the standard gears - the plate generally just gets replaced for safety when the gearset is upgraded. As for the gearsets, its not like they are OK at 600Nm and break at 601. Their longevity is a combination of how much torque you are making and how gentle you are on shifts (or not).
