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 :(

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
