Suspension Place In Sydney?


Recommended Posts

Anyone recommend a place in Sydney to fit a new set of coilovers? I would prefer a place that has done work on r35's and who can do corner weighting and alignment in-house. Public transport nearby would be a bonus too.

thoughts?

thanks for the response. yep WSP are good (they have actually worked on my car before) i am actually waiting on Luke to get back to me on a quote. However they are 60km away from my place so not ideal (i have actually gone therte just for an alignment... three times!) They are good guys.

Duncan, if you come to Bathurst David Wall could dial them in for you.

What brand did you buy Duncan?

My car is currently in Wodonga 600 kilometres from home having a set of 3 way DMS built for the GTR. They better be good as I am a loud mouth and will let everyone know if they are good or bad.

The problem with the handling appears to have been the rear LHS wheel which was totally incorrectly castered and cambered and 15mm lower, and causing the car to step out at speed.

Interestingly I paid a professional company $360 to do a 4 wheel camber/caster alignment set up and he never even noticed it.

I recently had Coilovers fitted and balanced to the EVO (by a separate and very large highly recommended company) and they placed nuts over the rubber washers with no steel washer to protect them, damaged the thread by using vice grips on the coilover threads and overtightened the bolts bending the steel washers. $550 they charged thank you and this setup cost more than $550 to fix.

I went with a JRZ variant. Will report on spring rates in about two weeks time.

Good you have the suspension issues sorted. Fwiw i had a 50mm DMS kit on my last car and it was pretty hard core!

I was very happy with Adrian Moore Suspension in Gladesville.

They fitted my SK group buy sports kit for under $450

That included new springs, shocks, all neoprene bushes, pineapples , front and rear Whiteline swaybars, and a full computer alignment.

I have R33.

I've used WSP too and am a satisfied customer through Luke and others there.

Closer to your home, I don't know what reputation or reasonability of pricing is at Bilstein/Heasman corner of Railway Rd & Princes Hwy Sydenham. Any feedback?

    • I definitely get the low power, sporty car to drive to smash gears but not be doing eleventy million miles an hour! It makes all the normal drives fun!   Rev match tune sounds like the funs! I didn't know the NC had a DBW throttle!   As for me, still have the Skyline, it still has the Barra in it. It's been pushed to the side of the workshop at the moment. Pretty much waiting on me finishing the wiring, and dropping new fuel lines in. Got myself an ACDC Tig end of last year so been teaching myself TIG welding to build a few things for the Skyline. The missus wrote off her GTB liberty at the end of last year, and got it back on salvage rights stupid cheap. It's also still registered, so will mean easier for me to take to the track already done most of the panel damage, just playing "clear the workshop" to make space to pull the motor and box out, fix some oil leaks, replace the clutch, and replace a few minor broken things.  Also got a Lathe at the start of the year, which is adding to the annoyance of no space, which is another reason I'm trying to build things to get more space, to get the Lathe back in a final home for it. It's a BIG lathe, can turn a 355mm diameter, and 1metre between centres... Got it at a steal! So between it and the TIG and old MIG welder, I'll be fabbing some fun little shit up But we've had a lot of shit stuff happening at home, so it's slow going getting things done. But one step at a time!
    • I love Catalunya.  Got a 1:54.632. The AMG is a hoot.
    • I hadn't got that far, my main worry was the connection to the actual calipers themselves. I'm just using new (ish) stock brake lines in the stock setup. I've just had a stud welded to the knuckle that is a little lower than the original stud (so my knuckles have two studs each side) to not have it be stretched so far in previous BBK setups, so the "block" (in the second picture) mounts a little lower for me and I hope I don't need to change anything. I may have even changed the connection to the calipers in the past and have since forgotten I did that. I may not have. Guess how I'm gonna find out. Source: hopium
    • It's more so I'm using the 1x piece line from HEL that goes from the body to the caliper. There's no middle block/mount like the HFM ones or the GKtech ones. There are certain angles/suspension compression where the line actually slightly contacts the ARB. Below of how mine sit (not my photo): How I want it:  
    • Oh I have mine all sitting in boxes ready to go, two sets of rotors, four sets of pads and caliper rebuild kits. They send a survey asking me if I had installed them months ago :p Grinder not necessary to fit the fronts, and not *really* for the rears. They have some good simple videos on how-to. I don't understand brake lines but from what I understand... somehow... OEM lines work, even though people say 350Z and 370Z use different banjo bolts, so it's possible 350'z had some different setup that Nissan changed to the 370Z/R33/R34 system? ....though are a little short, but past-me made a new bolt hole to bolt them to to reach my current fronts so I should be okay... maybe. In any case HFM don't sell any *different* line kits for R33/R34 front brakes than they do for the 370Z kits. So in my mind they must be compatible or they would have different products made to suit the different calipers. Please test and confirm for me kthx.
