Anyone out there go the Works package on their R32 GTSt???

If so are you having trouble with axle tramp thru 1st & 2nd gears.

It has never bothered me before as i dont generally go spining wheels, but in the next 4-6 weeks looking at punting the car down the 1/4 mile.

So decent traction would be nice, plus im scared im going to tear/break something as the axle tramp gets pretty voilent if i try to balance the wheelspin. If i just gas it and let it spin until it gets traction then it barely axle tramps, but is a hell of a lot slower.

soften up the rears... should get rid of it a little. I had the same issue (dont have a whiteline kit) with my suspension... the rear shocks were way too hard and causing massive axle tramp and it bounced like a mofo! ppl shit themselves when they were in it cause they didnt know what the hell was going on... softened the rears with turn of a dial... bam! a lot smoother.

You won't break anything via axel tramp, but its annoying I know.

Yeh damn annoying, and it may be a coincidence but i have sheared a lower rear left control arm, where the arm meets the tubular steel that encases the bush.

Got new ones and welded some gussets to ensure it doesnt happen again.

If budget permits in the next 2-3 months i am considering HKS coil overs, i was most impressed after having driven an R33 with them.

As for softening u the rear shock , that would require re-valvingmy Bilsteins, not very appealling. I may just live with it or continue to try different tyres.

Ive got the subframe bushes as well, Whiteline actually used my car as the test bed for the R32 GTSt kit, so our cars should be close to identical suspension wise.

Can i ask what wheels and rubber are you using, are you using their recommended rear alignment settings

I run dunlop fm901 on the steet and run 540s when i drag my car.

I dont know the wheel alignment settings as im slack and have never got it dont, manily because im not in the process of making all new upper arms and hicas removal so everything will need to be done when it fit it all.

Hi, i got the whole whiteline package a while ago, i must have got it right after you tested it cause i got it for free labour and 25% of parts, since they were still checking out the settings and whether they could go lower....etc...

Anyway, i had very very bad axle tramp before the kit, but my shocks were pretty much rooted back then...

After the kit (with their recommended settings) i still had a bit of axle tramp sometimes with 17inch wheels and 245's at rear.

I have gone back to 16inch stockies, and dont really get much tramp at all but i havent really lauched hard for a while though...ask me on thursday ;p

In hind sight i should have gone for adjustable shocks instead, but its too late now for me...go adjustables...

Oh by the way, why does my car handle better with 16's??? and

205/55/16 tyres?

Oh by the way, why does my car handle better with 16's??? and

Before i got a 2nd set of 17s and big front brakes i use to borrow a friends stock 200SX wheels, my car felt terrible when using them.

So i take it your going to Eastern Creek on thursday? Ill be there but not sure in what capacity, my car needs a wheel alignment, new exhaust gasket, and new plugs, plus the usual fluid changes, so Wednesday night looks like being a late one.:D

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
