After 2 years of waiting and stockpiling parts, redid most of the suspension setup (Coils, arms, braces, swaybars, endlinks, bushings, wheels, tyres, rotors, lines, pads) for the skyline coupe :)

Went out and got some photos.

Good on ya. I think I maybe due for mine soon. Ive done inner lower control bushes last year. It would be good to know how much each of these costs.

nice car!

Thanks! 

Including labor, it cost me around 15k.

Most of it was taken up by wheels (~4.2k), tyres (~2k), and coils (~2.7k).

Arms (~1k), braces (~1k), swaybars, endlinks & bushings (~750), rotors (~500), lines (~500), labor (~3k).

Will and Richard did the work from Proworks Automotive NSW.

Looking into doing the exhaust (catback + hfc + header) next, but running into compatibility problems with ride height, and the 4was module stuck to the back of the diff.  

If you're after specific part numbers feel free to shoot me a message :)

Wow some serious work there. I guess there were some upgraded parts in all that.

mines a 350 so I don’t know how compatible they are. But was just after an indication at this stage. My whole car is not worth that much.

cheers

Likewise AHA, spent more than what i bought the car for.

It's definitely a bit hard to justify but growing up playing NFS underground always wanted to mod a car.

If you're going to mod it might as well do it properly the first time, it'll save you time and money in the long run right?

    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
