Well don't quote me on this one and some of the other guys may be able to give better recommendations but when I was looking for suspension on my VL Turbo I went to W.A Suspensions in Osbourne Park.... They seemed to know what they were talking about and had a wide variety of cars in the workshop at the time... From your family car, to supra's and such , to a dragster and even a cop car...

Don't know how they rate in pricing our the brands they stock these days though...

Hey Niz,

Wa suspension is doing my suspension as we speak, a good friend of mine Rob works there and he has been so helpful so they definately deserve a fre plug, oh and also C-red came to the rescue aswell! thanks Jash!

C-red is a bit out of the ossie park area but i do recall Jash saying he can get some sweet coilovers, i have borrowed some nice HKS coilovers at the moment from him, maybe give him a buzz and see how much he will sell a set of em to ya for, do ya puupy eyes thing Niz, Jash will love it I am sure....:uh-huh: :bahaha:

I did a lot of calling around when it came time to fitting my koni shocks to my s14.

Most expensive was WA suspensions be far - they were double the price of anyone else...I am not exaggerating either.

Wilkinsons and C-red were the same price, actually, I think C-red were a little cheaper. I ended up getting C-Red to fit the gear and I am happy with the job they did. If I was getting an alignment done, I would probably go to Wilkinsons.

Wheelsworld are good too I have heard, John always has time to sit down and explain everything about what you need to you in very plain terms.

Wilkinsons are very good...the best IMHO.

Don't know where you heard they were expensive as that definitely is not the case.

Peter knows what works and what doesn't and will not sell you something you don't need unless of course you want it.

For example he did some minor tweeks to my Rex and it placed 12th outright at MC motorsport...only hi po cars on "race rubber" beat me so he knows his stuff.

Cheers

Hmmm these guys arent bad.... The dealer I bought my R33 from uses them and I have had my car serviced there a couple of times... never used them for suspension work though...

need suspension done haha but will need wheel alignment after Jash probably get it all done at the one place. Hows your suspension stocks looking at the moment?

Wilkinsons Bilensteins are 2 1/2 weeks away which if im going to MC's with some of the boys are not close enough so I'll try WA Suspensions.

      Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
