Mate, 1 piece of advice I'll give you is whatever suspension you choose make sure it's not too hard. A lot of people race out and buy the hardest coil overs and the biggest wheels they can fit and the problem with this is it just plain makes the car dangerous. The back wheels have no give and simply break traction and axle tramp under the pump. They also don't absorb any of the cars inertia during cornering and can cause the car to unsettle over bumps during cornering. Last of course is the ride WILL drive you nuts, far too hard! I've fallen into this trap and will never buy HARD suspension again unless the car was going to be purely a track car. Hope that helps.

I have the SK group but stuff in my car and the only place in Vic that its too soft for is phillip island... so unless your going to be hitting PI often the Bilstein whiteline combo is great!

I have never driven on the Tein super streets or the G4 stuff but I can tell you buying 'adjustable' coilovers is a waste of time... do some more reading on shock technology and handling and you will see what I mean

I have the Bilstien setup also however I have slighter stiffer spring rates than the SK GB. Car goes pretty well, just need to learn how to drive it consistantly at DECA :laugh:

my issues is the stock diff now. 1.5 way comming my way soon.

Tein: Great Japan quality. If bought through Fulcrum, they are re valved/sprung for Australian roads.

G4 Racing: Cheaper quality, not sure where they are made. Will not perform as good, in the long run.

Even though the SK gb kit are great, i still prefer my adjustability. I like the thought of adjusting the stiffness for various roads, events, conditions, etc. And the Tein EDFC makes it soooooooooooooooo much easier :D

I disagree with the coilover statement, height and dampener adjustment is very useful. Height is good for raising if the cops pin you and dampenr is great for fun/track days and other events.

Lance - What are you looking to get from your car? What will you be using it for?

Mate I was raped by Pettett last week and he was picking on my ride height. Now I know for a fact that it's sitting at 110mm at the pipe (lowest point) but he STILL gave me a hard time about it. The fact I can raise the car for testing is priceless. All you need is one assho|e cop like him and you'd have to get a lot more work done to raise non adjustable suspension. Now I know you'll say "make it legal ride height and you'll have no issues" but we both know that aint the case huh.

All I'm saying is the SK group buy for instance is almost the cost of a set of Tien Super Street (Fulcrum local stuff). I'm about to change my suspension and I know what I'll be choosing.

fair enough then!

yep you have to take the Bilsteins out to reset the height... but I have never been pulled over let alone hassled about ride height... I have mine set pretty high though, otherwise the tires scrub really badly on the rear guards... you should move away from Knox!

I know you've been raped... more than once... :)

lol

Ye i know that, but if you are sitting 110mm, why are you even raising it?

Your legal to begin with!

ive got tiens and they are pretty stiff.. but id rather a stiff ride (yeh i know that sounds gay) over bodyroll anyday

Only thr Jap Spec are stiff.

If you bought them through Fulcrum they would be ALOT better and comfortable. Yet the still have enough dampner ajdustment to make them pretty damn stiff.

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      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?

      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
