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?

hey mate give Luke a call at Wholesale suspension in Penrith. They have done some work on r35's before and and a heap of work on my 32 GTR.

Top guys that know their stuff.

129 Coreen Avenue, Penrith NSW 2750

P: 4721 2112

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?

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
