i have now done all the basic mods on my 34, intercooler, oil cooler, full exhaust hiflow cat, air intake. The suspension (bilstein hieght adjustable with unknown springs) in the car atm is very hard and the rebound is very jerky on the street but good for the track. i can deal with it for the time. Now im up to the next stage. I went to centerline and they said i should do all my camber and castor bushes. but i also could go for a nistune or i could go for BC coilovers. My question is what will make the car better for the track - camber/castor bushes ($1000), BC coilovers ($1200) or nistune ($750). Problem i can only go for one of these atm. WHICH ONE!!!!!!!?????

you can get a whole lot of new bushes as a kit on ebay for ~$700

includes Control Arm Lower - Inner Bush, Control Arm Upper - Inner / Outer Bush

Steering Rack Mount Bush - Power Steering, Strut Bar To Chassis Mount

Control Arm Lower - Inner Bush, andX 2 Control Arm Rear - Lower - Toe Adj Arm

have you upgraded the swaybars at all? best bang for buck $500 front/rear swaybars, whiteline

nistune would be a great option too, however Id suggest brakes & suspension first.

+ slotted front rotors dba 4000 series - $400 ebay

+ braided front & rear brake line kit - $270 ebay, adr approved

+ master cylinder stopper - $70 ebay

+ qfm a1rm brake pads front rear - $240 sau

+ whiteline swaybars - around $250 each for front & rear

a good service,tune is paramount for a trackday too!

A full set of camber and castor bushes plues labour should be no where near $1000.

Buy them yourself through whiteline and install them yourself, fairly easy to do. You will just need to get some one with a hydraulic press to press the old bushes out.

For that $1000 you should be able to get all the bushes, get some pineapples and a HICAS lock bar.

i got a quote for superpro bushes it was 650 for front and rear does camber and castor. got pineapples done already. oil the good oil etc, im using qfm but still need discs ill research the busshes more. cheers

#1 Good set of track tyres... all the susp under the sun cant help you unless you have grip.

#2 Brakes... brakes brakes brakes... Good front rotors, good track day pads, good fluid and hoses.

People get too far ahead of themselves with the shiney gear...

After that:

Track wheels

Bushes and alignment

Radiator

Nistune

Whiteline rear camber kit is around $120-$150

Whiteline front camber kit is around $130-$170

Whiteline front castor kit is around $100-$120

So really it shouldn't be more than $500

I got all mine for around $340. Ring up an Autobarn or something near you, give them the part numbers (KCA348, KCA331, KCA347), ask what the best price they can give for all three. Autobarn do a 10% off RACQ discount so ask for that after. Definetely can get them for less than $650. Your call.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
