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.

heard wilkinson were good also heard they were expensive. Anyway thanks for giving me a starting point :P

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...

Wangaras a little for. Want somewhere i can drop it off catch a taxi to work and not have it cost me a fortune. But bayswaters good i might get my folks to drop it off - its near them.

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.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
