Suspension Upgrade

[Redsuns88]

if im assuming right. beeezle got the SK suspension setup so basically springrates and valving of the strut is matched perfectly for the GTR

[rapidroy]

Looks great!!

-What springs did you use?

-Where did you purchase your shocks?

Note: That RX-7 pictured is a waist of time... wouldn't work on the roads in Sydney!

king springs & bilstein shocks. The kit I got is basically a copy of the Sydneykid group buy that was on here awhile ago apart from the king springs instead of whiteline springs. I got it all from Dan at Elite Racing Developments. Have a look on SAUqld if you want to get in contact with him.

Cheers for all the comment guys.

Car looks good, I like the hight. Yeah my vote goes to bilsteins. Quadrant suspentions set up alot of the 32\33\34 GTR's that do the targa Tasmania, so there always worth a chat to if you want Bilsteins.

Ps the best mod I ever did to my GTR was to buy a $700 carolla. Worked out that due to running costs of the GTR the carolla payed for it's self after 3 months. Plus now my car is always clean and there are no more dints from the shops!

[Beelzebub89]

Shifting problem ?

Beelzebub, im PM'd SK looks like im heading down the same path as you, can you tell me much it all set you back? did SK order the gear for you or you got the people at ERD to organize it all and install it? If your dont want to disclose this info on here can you PM me please.

[Beelzebub89]

Dan at ERD got all my gear for me. Had a problem with getting the rear shocks as they were back ordered so had to wait for more to be made. Chuck him a pm on here or on SAUqld and I'm sure he'll be happy to help.

Dad and I installed it. Its fairly simple so to do just read all the instructions and double check everything lol. It took us from 8 - 6ish on Saturday and then from 9ish - 12 on sunday to get everything fitted up properly. If your not confident doing it yourself Dan can fit it aswell or any other suspension place really.

Good luck with it let us know how you go

Apart from the fuel consumption I think they're an awesome daily lol I drive through the mountains to get to work in the mornings so its always entertaining

Whitey

Handling is fantastic. Its not too firm so its still comfortable as a daily driver and it feels so much more responsive now. On the stock suspension the car had a bit of body roll and you could feel it wallowing around in the corners. Now its just really tight and level all the way through. I haven't gotten close to the limit driving it yet but its fantastic

I'm really pleased how it all turned out. Would recommend them to anybody looking for an upgrade in their GTR.

Sorry Beezlebub could you send me Dan's username so I could PM him. Thanks.

[Beelzebub89]

Sorry about that. The best way to contact him is through this email [email protected] or go on to SAUqld website which is www.sauqld.com. His username on there is Elite Racing. I can't remember what it is on here.

Cheers

Colin

[CGB_R32]

Hey mate, sent him an email and have been calling him for the past 2 days, is he on holidays or somthing? Would really appreciate it if you could just PM me an approx cost of what it set you back. Did he get you the springs aswell or you sourced them yourself?
