Hi Guys,

Went to fit pineapples in my R34 GTT at Traction Tyres on the weekend and was told i needed to replace the following:

"Front caster bushes leaking, Front & Rear tie rod boots split".

I was wondering if someone could point to me in the right direction of parts to replace them with.

I have tried a search but unfortunately could not find the information I was after especially with the tie rods.

I have had a look at the whiteline website and saw the following but not sure?

For the caster bushes: KCA 331 http://www.whiteline.com.au/product_detail...t_number=KCA331

For the tie rods? I wasn't sure? These? http://www.whiteline.com.au/product_detail...rt_number=W0206

In addition if there is anything else worth replacing that may as well be done to save labour costs let me know.

Thanks in advance!

hey bud,

if you want to do a complete suspension overhaul here is the complete christmas wishlist;

Shocks - ~$1200

Springs - $600

swaybars adjustable - $225 each

hicas eliminator (if req) - $220

Castor Bushes

Radius Rod - $120

Front Arm/Camber - $170

Rear Arm upper/Camber - $145 x 2 you will need

Subframe - $130

not too sure of any good suspension/steering workshops in melbourne, but you may have some luck if you have a gander in the suspension/tyres section, you may find some places

all the best with it, and as always, report your findings and experience with whoever you go with so others can benefit off the feedback!

    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
