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?

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
