hey guys ive got stock suspension at the moment and pushing around 190rwkw... so would like to looka t handling a bit now, ive removed my hicas fuse because the hicas was pulling me seriously to the left on high acceleration/high speed which was a worry and since i removed the fuse its been fine... i am planning on getting a lock bar soon for that.. but also just wondering with strut bars.. can i just get the cheapest one i can find or are adjustable/better brands really worth the extra ? for my suspensioin i am currently looking into going conia shocks and springs all around

cheers

strut bars arent really nescesary (spelling) but if u did get one, maybe an aluminium one or sumthing that is not adjustable. expensive ones arent really worth the extra unless its frotrack use mainly. The suspension setup sounds good if ur thinking of koni, otherwise i dont know wat conia is :D

Before I put sways on my car, I put strut bars front and rear and hardly noticed any difference in the car. From my understanding strut bars increase the rigidy of the chassis.

On my WRX when I put one in the front I noticed a slightly better turn in on corner entry though body roll didn't change. Thus you can conclude that the Skylines have a better chassis to start off with which is why there is little difference.

The biggest improvement was the sway bars cause the car is much more sharper on entry and the ammount of roll is reduced.

Strut bars go over the engine bay. Sway bars are underneath the car.

Plus you get more rice factor out of strut bars! :)

I think sways are about 250 or so. If it's for a RWD car you probably only need one for the front suspension. If you want to go do track days then front and rear.

i found a slight difference when i fitted the strut bar in my engine bay, not alot mind u but a lil bit, picked one up for $160 gives it a bit more of a performance look too i reckon...

sway bars not too sure how much there costing atm.

cheers

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
