Hey,

The guy from adealide tyre power have recomended i take my car to a pedders to get some work done on it, and i was just wonderingif anyone has used one and their thoughts?

thanks

Used the guys at Pedders prospect about 6 months ago to check out the issues with my suspension on my VN Commodore. They nailed it down to a hell of a lot of dodgy bushes and a stuffed steering rack... they charged around $1000 to replace all the bushes, still havent bothered to replace the rack ;P.... dunno how good they'd be with R32's but I was pretty happy with their service!

Cheers

-D

Edit: I will however be taking the R32 there in a couple weeks, they only charge $50 or so for a full suspension/bushes checkout.

Never actually used them, but have had pleasant experiences when getting quotes etc. with Action Suspension at Edwardstown. Seem like they know thier stuff VERY well, and do a lot of suspension work for insurance companies/crash repairers etc.

May be another option?

get the $14 inspection so you can get a list of part needing replacing, also take it with a pintch of salt. they tend to over quote. I have new kyb's,king springs and sway bars. apparently the shocks are leaking already and the sway bar bushes are gone..haha about a year old and only done about 7k on road. but they did find my problem and i had that fixed by someone cheaper i sourced the parts myself. I did in the end replace my sway bar bushes to a stiffer compound but there was nothing wrong with the old ones.

the guys at adealide tyre power beleive something (forgot what, im sooo bad with names) has been pushed back and isnt letting me get enough -ve caster...

Heya

I think theyre probably referring to the suspension plate... When I crashed my r31 into a kerb, the entire plate was pushed back, it required unbolting from the chassis and the boltholes reinforced. Before I got it fixed the castor was totally screwed and the guys at Bob Janes couldnt prevent the wheels scraping the inner guard (I hit at 80kph or so, unsurprisingly the suspension needed looking at)

I'm with Madaz. Those plates dont just move... its possibly pushed back due to incorrect suspension setup but more likely to have taken a hit to dislodge it.

Isnt very expensive to fix, just has to be unbolted and rebolted (if the plate itself hasnt sustained damage). My panel beater/mechanic/handyman at the time fixed it within an hour one saturday arvo...

      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.

      There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.

      yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
