Traction Tyres at Rowville.

Been there for a wheel alignment/balance. They know their imports and have set up plenty of suspension for rally/track cars.

I think they also recommended by SydneyKid (who sells the whiteline package) so they know their stuff :laugh:

took my car to traction tyres in rowville.

Not really the friendliest of bunch, i guess i was expecting full-on motor sport enthusiasts who couldn't stop talking about it.

Anyways, got a wheel balance and alignment, got rid of the steering wheel shudders/vibrations i was getting at say 90km/hr+, so fixed that up, so on the freeway she's nice and stable.

Um... didn't really notice much else of a difference. Although, the R34 doesn't have a lot of adjustments options from factory. I can't remember exactly, but the front doesn't have say camber adjustment, or something like that. So they adjusted what they could.

Drives straight, fixed shudder on the highway, so yeah, was a good job. And the other thing to mention is that not all places are setup to do 4WS alignments, etc. Obviously these guys are.

Yes, SydneyKid does recomment them. I've been very keen on his suspension kits for a while, but just the $ issue. But yeah, if i get the kit, i'll probably take it to Traction Tyres just because they are closer. But i've spoken to Chris at Centreline a couple of times, and he's super friendly, and was completely cool with giving good, in-depth advice over the phone.

odd..my experience at Traction Tyres was great.

They had a seperate person specialised in brakes/rotors and we discussed the various pads/rotors for my style of driving.

Fixed my vibration at 100km/h and was always happy to answer any of my questions about suspensions/brakes.

Traction Tyres(rowville) ftw :laugh:

SE, I can think of Strutfit (Lance is an older bloke and knows alot of old school stuff, but he is well priced and will chat your head off)

He is in Dandenong, Ive never had him do anywork, but he has helped out a few of my workmates with alot of stuff. Could be worth a chat to see if he is interested in helping you out.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
