Mine is an R32 2 Door with Cusco Zero 1 Suspension, 3.5" turbo back exhaust with 4" canon, Stock type M body with GTR front bar, GTR bonnet and GTR front Grill.

Edited by --{TRYDIS}--

the cusco zero 1 arnt ment for sydney roads lol i like them heaps ive got alot more handling capabilities but each pot hole u go over, each lil bump feels like hell which aint too good for em aswell. overall i rate them highly but sydney roads are shit house.

I've got bilsteins (sk group buy type thing) and they are the best for the money by far. I've also got big arse sway bars, 2 way diff, and supergrippy tyres. So it turns rather good.

But yeah, whatever you do DONT GET PILLOW BALL STRUT TOPS!!! They are horrible bastard things.

i have a similar setup to dangerous daveo. Jic coilovers rebuilt with bilstein insertsand eibach springs. 6 k front 4 k rear. i like it ..works well on the street and track. also s13 adjustable swaybars and strut braces. also turns rather good ! hehe (tires are my weak point at the moment.)

I also have SK group buy stuff with his Bilsteins, whiteline springs, pineapples and sway bars. Also Cusco Adj rear camber arms, cusco adj caster rods, cusco tension bar, and a Nismo front strut brace with brake cylinder stopper.

For the Exhaust I have a CES split front/dump pipe (hpc coated), magnaflow 3" metal cat and kakimoto 3" cat back.

The only body mod I have is a Nismo grill. It all seems to work pretty well. I can't speak highly enough of the suspension setup for road and track.

i heard lots of people told me top pillow ball mount is good. they r 4 camber adjustable. Can u tell me wats wrong with em thanks.

Will the r32 2 door exhaust with on 4 door ? i also heard GTR front bar wont fit 2 4 door.

Thanks

People say pillowball mounts are good because all the Japanese stuff comes with em. When new, they will provide a bee's dick of an improvement in handling, once worn (doesn't take long to wear) they will be knocking like crazy and be worse than bushes.

Camber tops that have adjustment will do nothing on double wishbone suspension cars, the upper and lower control arms are what control the camber.

My exhaust is off a GTR, so yes a 2dr exhuast will fit, I think they're a tiny bit shorter though, not enough to worry about, mine fits fine.

Well I've got the GTR front bar on my car, so I'm gonna say it fits :)

Nah, it doesn't line up perfectly with the guards, so it bulges a bit at the front, and you need a GTR reo or to cut yours up.

If you want to do it all properly, you'd need GTR guards and GTR indicators. Might need headlights aswell, but I'm not too sure

Basically what salad said. It seriously drives me insane the knocking Im putting up with now, and I just had the bearings pressed 2months ago. Its not worth it.

i look in some pics tat r32 doesnt have top pillow mount rite ? Im thinking 2 get HSD HR coilovers do they have top pillow mount on them ? is the pillow can be rebuild ?

Thanks

in japan... and for drift...

we usually run the standard coilover...

CST, KST, Blade, HKS.... they all use the same coilvers they just slap there name brands on them...

for the Cefiro (S13 same) just shell out about $750 on average for a set fully adjustable blah blah... change the springrates (F:10k R:8k) and your good to go...

and for exhaust... Its Dart Izumi all the way... BUT since my exhaust is half SR half Cefiro its 80mm all the way back with a DI Twin tip... and a Apex EVC flap sandwiched after the J-pipe. so basically loud flame spitting kaos...

Not sure what you mean by the first question

Yes, HSD HRs come with pillowball/spherical bearing tops

Not sure about rebuilding, but if it can be done it wont be cheap...

So is HSD HR good 4 street, circuit and drift ? which model is better then ?

HSD HR is OK for street, seems to work well for drift, not sure about circuit. But you can get much much better than HSD, they are a cheap coilover aimed at a price bracket, so they will skimp on things to meet this bracket. Same with all cheap coilovers/shocks.

    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.  
    • No, you're wrong, and you've always been wrong about this. The Nismo has 2 sets of openings. One is a real 2-way, and the other is a 1-way. There is no 1.5-way possible with the ramps that they offer. A real 1.5-way does exist. That Cusco stuff I posted is a prime example. If the forward drive ramps are, say 55°, and the overrun ramps are, say, 30°, then you will get about half as much LSD effect on overrun than you do on drive. It is real, it realy works. OK, you're slightly right. The Nismo has 55° and 45° ramps on the 2-way, so it does offer less LSD effect on overrun. But, I think that just means that they've (probably) sensibly established that you do not want actually equal LSD effect on overrun. You just want "quite a lot, but not quite as much as the drive LSD effect".
