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

Chris

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.

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
