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.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
