Suspension Workshop Recommendation - Alignment, And Bending My Struts Back


Recommended Posts

gday fellas

got a r31 gts1

struts are different to a normal aussie r31 as the gts1 came with import type strut so as to fit bigger brakes (100mm caliper bolt spacing)

anyway, lower left strut has a VERY slight bend. so slight you cant see the bend in it, but it is rubbing the tyre. control arm is not bent, everything else is fine. no one in sydney has a spare pair, and the ones available interstate are $550. not an option

can anyone recommend a place to bend my strut back into place. i know of east coast, any one else?

** already spoken to heasemans/sydney shocks. will be getting my shokcs in this car rebuilt there, but they said dont bother coming until the strut is straight.

appreciate your assistance

cheers, mark

forgot to mention

will be getting all 4 bilstein shocks in my gts1 rebuilt at heasemans

however, they said do not bother coming until i have a straight strut

so yeah, sorry, forgot to mention that part

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
