What about Whiteline heavy duty blade adjustable swaybars front and rear with the link kits. Swaybars feel better than ungrading suspention! Also change all the bushes and strut braces. Pretty sure thats 2 grand well spent there. You would only have to do your links after that but to get all the links done cost well over 2 grand because there are so many in skylines.

Build looks great :down:

i agree about the swaybars but thats another part we will look at in a bit, we are reco'ing the front and rear subframes and attached so why they are out time to change all the old stuff and get new adjustable stuff lol

If you are looking at swaybars wait a few weeks until i get back to Melb...got a great idea for you to try and will be far better then anything you buy from Whiteline :)

A nice deep red GTR is AWESOME! I have always looked at Hyper Rev mages and LOVED the occassional red GTR you come accross. 80% of the time they used to have white wheels, of late they have had black wheels. All look amazing.

no probs roy will speak to you when you get back, but other then that what do you think of the above items they come in around the $800 mark which i think is good

Are the JJR suspension arms made in china?? If so i would personally steer clear just as i would the chinese brakes when it comes to components that are a safty issue I would personally steer clear of anything from china. Not saying that thay are a bad thing as I have no personal experiance with them but dont take chances with anything suspension or brake related. Good luck with the build mate is coming along nicely.

thanks man, i understand what you are saying but justjap say they are good and they have not ever let me down so i thought i would try them out but still open to what people whould get

Mate there's nothing wrong with the JustJap suspension control arms. We've had no problems with them. The only ones I'd steer clear of are the front upper control arms you have pictured. I had them in my road car and broke the locking clamp on one side which let the arm flap around and bent the other side about 30 degrees. I'd actually steer clear of any front upper control arms of that design. You'll need to get some of the slide type arms or fixed shorted arms as they are much stronger.

No doubt just jap are going to say they are good as they sell them so they are hardly going to say anything else!!. Dont get me wrong I am not saying that they are not good as I have no personal experiance with them though I would agree with the above post about the upper controll arms as that design is known to be flawed and will definatly break is not a matter of if but when.

I personally would go for IKEA FORMULAR suspension gear but the cost is prohibitive for a lot of people but in my opinion the IKEA stuff is by far the best on the market. Personally if I was not useing the ikea stuff i would have custom fabricated arms in chrome molly and sourced the spherical joints locally as this could be done by any good fabricator or by yourselves if you have the right equipment and necessary fabrication skills and would give peice of mind in regards to quality of materials and workmanship. In my opinion you should never make a decision on parts that have a direct bearing on saftey based on price that is just my 2c worth. And as i stated i am by no means saying that the Just Jap stuff is no good as I stated I have had no personal experiance with them but must say I am always suspect on china parts.

i do agree with you dazmo, i wont use shit parts, from reading lots im not going to run the upper arms just get the standard ones that are shorter. for the other stuff they are strong and much better then standard and we think this is what we are going to go for . you never know when it comes to buying them i might splash out and get the best just have to see what the funds say when the time comes.

thanks everyone for your input it does make me have a better understanding of what i should do.

please keep it coming the more different ideas i hear the better choice i can make

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
