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.

    • I thought Australia got rid of the "drag dodgy fuel up to 91 RON with ethanol", which is why all E10 advertise as "up to 94 RON" ? Anyway I put E10/91 in the missus' Mazda because she empties the tank weekly, when all my cars get 98RON. tl;dr - turbo - 98 RON, if you can't afford that, sell it and get a commuter car (or tune your car for 91, which no one does).
    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
