The time has come to upgrade from the standard suspension on my 32 gtr, I want a sensible package that I can use on the street and the track.

I've used DMS before on another car with reasonable results, Every car I've riden in with Japanese coilovers has been to firm, to firm to soke up the bumps on any back roads I feel.

Does anyone know the cost of the 40mm DMS? short of calling them.

Who else knows GTR's, Quadrant?

....and what are whiteline doing? I thought they were re selling DMS but I've been told they're not anymore?? Is there something I should know about?

Does anyone have any suggestions?

I'll most probably use whiteline for the rest of the gear and have it fitted locally.

Cheers

Simmo

I take issue with that. I have HKS hypers in my car and they handle but are too stiff. I am about to go fully soft (12 levels of adjust).

If I had unlimited money it would be Teins coils with the ****pit electric control box... 16 levels of adjustment... ON THE FLY!

I've got Whiteline coilovers with 50mm DMS shocks on all the softest settings, they are great on the track and on smooth roads but too hard for country roads and I spend a lot of time on them. They handle fine but the ride is just too rough

DMS is about $3800 (50 mm) this does not include pilowball tops. Most of the jap stuff like Jic magic is about $3500 including tops. DMS will work out about $1000 more! I will have a locally manufactured product which has its advantages. I'm positive DMS can provide custom spring rates also.

Any comments? :S

Simmo: I agree, I would go 50mm rather than 40mm if you'r going to do any track work, also I think the pillowtops are essential. As I said the ride is a bit rough for me on rough roads and I spend a lot of time on them.

However you can swap the complete suspension over in about an hour so I am using stock suspension with Whiteline sway bars and I swap the suspension over for track days or sometimes just for a change.

    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
