I have done some research but can't find much on what i'm after.

I am looking to upgrade the suspension in my 1989 Nissan R32 Skyline GTR for weekend use and track work. I currently have a set of Tein HAs (9kg front and 8kg rear spring rates i'm pretty sure) and am looking at buying a set of cusco swaybars unless someone says otherwise....

Basically i'm looking at doing all of the suspension as required all in one shot. My question is what do i need to buy (reccomended brands would be good) for my GTR to handle very well on the track and remain fairly comfortable on the street when i take it out. I would like to knock the suspension side of things all in one shot and not have to look back on it but i'm unsure on what i need.

Do i need to replace the suspension bushes too due to age or for better handling?

Thanks

Expect to have to go through and replace a number of bushes, Whiteline are good for bushes and adjustable swaybars.

As for shocks and springs, its really a matter of budget. In my eyes you can do a lot worse then a set of Tein Monoflex or Super Streets or a set of Bilsteins from Heasemans or another Bilstein distributor.

In all honesty, including labour, Cusco castor rods, shocks etc you will be looking at just under $5,000 :thumbsup:

Just put some bilsteins on my 34GT-T with some king springs and its fantastic for both comfort and handling. Both improved after taking out high spring rate coilovers. Its faster and more comfortable in every situation.

Maybe try some suspension bracing. Alot of people don't try this but i have heard some good things about it. Won't affect ride but when you push the car in corners, etc will be way more stable and easier to handle from what i gather. Looking at trying soon myself :(

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.

      In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).

      ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.

      OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
