ok guys if you are reading this please give your opinion im looking in to all the part for the gtr's suspension

im stuck in what to get.

i dont have the buget to run with the Ikeya Formula stuff so what should i do????

do i go with the JUST JAP stuff or with say CUSCO stuff like everything?????

please i need help

I'll pm you the good info and am with Bris! To much money gets wasted in wanky susp for club cars.

Just copy my car. Has nothing to fancy and does pretty well for what it is. Cusco fixed upper arms 3.5deg, adj Cusco rear uppers, tien castor rods and whiteline swaybars with bilstiens. Get the fronts for about $250 secondhand, rears prob $200. Swaybars $500 new. Castor rods $150ish. It has never put me in a bad situation. You having never driven a gtr hard it going to take at least prob 10 trackdays before you even begin to understand how to steer the car let alone touch the susp.

Better than putting $5000 susp in your car you can't understand. The extra trackdays you could do with the money you saved would be more benifitial. I don't get how so many guys do one track day with maybe 25 laps in groups of 3 laps where ther car only does 2 fast and then say they need to take the car to the workshop because it doesn't handle right. They prob haven't even learnt how to drive the new setup! Don't get caught in the cheque book racing.

I was talking to your Dad at the Aust Supersprint Champs about this, it sounded good when he said rotisserie!

I have the following suspension on my R32 and it will run 47's at the Island no problem....

Front:

Nolec Adjustable upper control arms - unfortunately I don't think these are made any more, but worth a look

Cusco castor rods

Whiteline 24mm Front bar

Tien RE shocks that have been revalved

650 lb springs

Rear:

Tune Agent Upper control arms and traction rods - mostly for easy adjustment and to replace the old factory stuff that is about 15 years old

Whiteline 22mm rear bar

Tien RE shocks that have been revalved

~450 lb springs I think

The HICAS is still in place

Nothing too over the top and have found all parts bullet proof after 5 years on the track and about 10,000 road k's.

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
