Hi,

I'm looking at replacing/upgrading the suspension on my R32. Having trouble finding anyone to supply the gear. Bal joints for examples. Tried Peps, and Whiteline. They were no help whatsoever. Can anyone recommend a supplier for suspension parts? I'm in the newcastle area. Any recomendations on adjustable castor and cambers kits would be nice too. I'm looking at replacing the whole lot so any advice would be great.

Tones. :)

How far do you want to go and do you want to stick with poly bushes or rose jointed arms?

For poly bushes most of the regular auto parts stores have association with 1 or 2 manufacturers. Repco can get you nolathane, auto one can get noltec, supercheap can get superpro, autobarn can get whiteline (superpro in a different coulour and duro). Thats just off the top of my head as i spend so much time in these places :P

For rose jointed arms, you generally want to stick with quality gear. For jap stuff Cusco and kazama will do the job. I rate cusco very highly after having travelled 80k + with a second hand set of cusco castor rods and they are still good.

Locally, tuneagent has some nice gear if you stick with the top of the range stuff, as does drift motorsport (forum sponsor). I have to get a few more km's on my rear upper arms before the drift motorsport gear gets 2 thumbs up, but it looks the business and replacement ball joints are available.

repco can supply nearly all of the replacement bits eg. ball joints, tierod ends, rack ends. and we deal with whiteline, noltec, fulcrum(tein), nolatane go see them they should be able to help you if not i can get all the numbers and supply them to you if need be.

    • 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
