So, I went for a blast in the car tonight, up and down black mountain and mount ainslie (twice).

Holy f**king Shit. My car sticks oh so much like glue now, it ooozes confidence in a corner. I figured i'd have a fairly different beast to drive, but this was just ridiculous.

I had a friend come for a ride and he simply couldn't believe the sheer amount of grip i had (he drives a WRX, slightly modded).

This was just SK's Bush kit (the lot, camber, caster front, subframe and 2x camber rears). Roughness of the car hasn't really changed, But its so much tighter now.

Unbelievable.

Highly, HIGHLY recommended. Best $800 i've spent on a car, ever.

how much is it to get fitted, so this is just bushes???

Couldn't really tell you, Ask Marc2. I had a ton of other work done as well.

And yes, all i had done was the Bushes (bushes were about $800)

Edited by nsanity

bushes are pretty good value. theyr a C U Next Tueday to change though.

I redid all the bushes in the datsun before i changed all the suspenion over and the amount of flex you shed just from having things sits tight in there spot rather then flex and jiggle around is phenominal. I used Nolathane bushes.

2nd best value thing to do to suspension is bushes.

best value is sway bars by miles.

I fitted the full kit to my 33 about a month ago. Marc2 did the bushes and wheel alignment. I went the whole hogg, shocks, springs, adjustable sway bars and all the bushes in the group buy. Also fitted a front strut brace and HICAS bar. It completely transformed the cars handling. I love it. Like nsanity said, highly recommend it. Also saved about $700 just on parts alone.

    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
