yeah I wouldn't plan to be parking there. it will be surrounding streets basically whatever you can find. maybe do some skyline car-pooling? :P

dontfeelcold and silhouette are in.

Hi all

Looking for a bit of help, and was wondering whether anyone who has a R34 GTT (preferable) or R33 GTST with SydneyKids group buy kit installed, could give me a quick ride in their car (passenger of course, but if you're willing, driver is also okay).

I wanted to see first hand how the setup deals with crap roads, bumps and so forth.

I am not so concerned with handling because I know it is already top notch, so dont need to be shown how well it corners and so forth.

Can anyone possibly assist? It would be much appreciated!!

Thanks

Hey all,

Firstly a quick intro...

The names Jonathon and i work in the motorsport and development division of Bilstein Australia, which is located within Heasmans.

Thanks for the interest you guys have shown in the night so far. It will be good to see you all come along and pick our brains and check out our facilities and what we do.

One thing Beer Baron hasnt mentioned is that there will be a BBQ dinner for all the SAU members attending. This is included in the night so theres no cost! :(

As for parking, there is limited parking available both out the front and behind. I would recommend coming down the lane at the back as the driveway from the princes hwy is a front spoiler killer. You can also park on the grass out the back if you can get your car up the small gutter.

Anyway, see you all there tomorrow night. :P

Cheers,

Jono

Thanks Jono, I should have mentioned it, but it either slipped my mind, or I think last time I spoke to Neil we hadn't confirmed what we were doing exactly bbq wise.

i finish work at 7ish, would get there at around 730 or just after, would this be a problem?

Even though the skyline has a complete setup from Heasmans looks like i might have to drive the swift because one injector on the line isnt firing properly..

or should i burble it down there and hopefully get some advice, get it looked at in general?

Thanks

Ed

they wont be looking at peoples cars to give specific advice. it's just a general info session. so yeah it doesn't matter if you come by skyline, swift, scooter or skateboard.

I have 3/4 of the kit in 33 gtst

the shocks, springs, sway bars and front castor

If we have time can take you for a test drive, I'll drive though :thumbsup:

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
