hey,

I'm about to do a suspension upgrade on the R34 GTT and I can't decide between a few things.

Basically the car is a daily driver so I want comfort but i want to be able to go for a run through the hills or to the track if i ever wanted.

so I'd ideally like a spring/shock combo with sway bars.

I've seen this on the old ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Nismo-R34-upgrade-S...=item335f0b9e27

Has any had experience with this? is it worth it? seems cheap.

Otherwise I was thinking either KYB/King springs combo or bilstein/king spring combo with whiteline sway bars.

Otherwise there is the possibility of BC coilovers with softer spring rates perhaps.

Budget is $1500 - $2500

What spring shock combo should i choose? what size sway bars front and rear?

I know this has been asked 11billion times before but I'm still unsure on what to get.

Cheers

I'm thinking similar as you man and keep wishing the sydneykid bilstein kit was still available or someone would decide to sell it 2nd hand. That ebay stuff looks pretty good no idea how good they are. Springs and shocks with upgraded swaybars seems to be the go with a daily driver with some track work

Give heasmans in Sydney a call mate. Apparently they still have limited stock of the sydneykid kit available. (another member on here picked some up not long ago)

Seems i've decided to grab some greddy type s that came up for sale on here. little bit less messing around and a bit cheaper than buying new - and from all i've heard are a great coilover even on the street.

Now it is just decided what swaybars I want.

ie: what size front and rear and whether I want adjustable or not.

Anyone feel like chipping in on that front?

I bought some from heasmans only a few months ago, he had them in stock and sent them straight down. Didnt sound like it was the last set or anything.

I bought the adjustable whiteline swaybars and really use the adjustability of them. You can gradually fine tune the car to how you like it. Then you can be silly and make it oversteer like a whore if you like to drift on private tracks!

Im very happy with them but havent tried any other ones so cant compare.

ahh you were the one I was thinking of with the Heasemans and bilsteins.

so i've ended up buying a set of greddy type S coilovers and will be ordering 24mm front and 20mm rear adjustable bars

So i'll have new adjustable castor arms, alloy subframe mounts, solid steering rack bush, swaybars and new coilovers all going in soonish :worship: should be fun

What holes do you generally have your swaybars set on front and rear Harey?

    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
