Hi,

I have Koni adjustables on my R32 GTS4 and also have my suspension lowered,

the ride is very rough and rigid (good for the track but not the West Suburbs) :)

I am getting the suspension raised slightly but also want to put some better

shocks on it and need your advice on what you think provides the best ride

in a 32.

Opinions are great - as so far I've heard too many opinions from people

who don't know too much about 32s.

Thnx :D

Probably more the spring rates that have been used :D

Could be you need something a little softer in the front and rear and you will be set.

Mine is like a rock, kidney bashing everything i get into it!

Give Ralph a call down @ Tru Track Suspension.

He is in Nth Melb, helped me a number of times.

often overlooked but check your tyre pressure

if its mega rock hard you can try loosing some pressure

30psi should be soft 35psi should be good all round and 40psi will be rock hard

you might be able to find a comprimise

I personal have taken my car to CentreLine Suspension (Thomastown), refer to my sig below for details. The guys there are great and have taken good care of my car.

Personally i would recommend a set of Aust delivered Tein-Supper Streets. That's that i have recently purchased and with the limited use i have experience so far (car has been off the road for 10 months), they are far better than the other two sets of coil-overs i had in the car.

I'd recommend some TEIN FLEX coilovers, great for street use and moderate track use.

Plenty of adjustment and won't cost you a great deal. People have commented how well it rides compared to other brand coilovers.

I am currently running a set in my R32 and have had no issues since installation.

Feel free to come around and have look if you want to get an idea of what they are like.

You will always get a bumpy ride with lowered/harden suspension.

As Abu said You can try a set of Tein Flex cuz they have the damping force which is adjustable to give a more comfortable ride.

I have CUSCO Suspension in my R32 and the ride is friggin hard. It's lowered with a front strut brace and I also have a Flow Brace in the middle of the car which makes really stiff.

i've got koni shocks and king springs in my 32 GTS4 too. I don't know the spring rate as they were already on the car when i bought it.

I've just had Centreline Suspension lower the platform adjustment on the Koni's to the lowest setting which is still very user friendly IMO.

Has anybody actually been over to Toperformance lately? I went there about a month ago and it looked like it's changed into some regular mechanic garage?

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
