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.

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.

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
