Hey I've just purchased a new set of bc-br coilovers and I'm really wanting to get them fitted this weekend. Im not confident in doing it myself and I'm willing to pay someone $150 cash that has experience in fitting coilovers to come out to my place and help me fit the front and rear set. I'd take it to a shop but I simply don't have the time during the week to get it done. I'm pretty certain I have all the tools required to do it unless there is some special tool required to remove the old tein suspension. So all you would need to bring is yourself. I'm located at redbank plains and my number is 0433 373 183 so feel free to call me or send a txt. Thanks!

Silly question... did you do a wheel alignment? If you change your suspension it's a good idea to check everything is set correctly (or take it somewhere and get em to whack it on the machine) otherwise if nothing else you'll destroy your tyres in no time.

no alignment needed. the car was set to the exact height that the original coilovers were at.

There's enough play in all the suspension bolts that it will still probably need an alignment.

An alignment is what, like 50 bux? I'm used to 31 owners being too cheap to get one, but I expected more on here :D

I would certainly do a wheel alingment. At least for a tyre wear point of view. Why save $50 if you gonna spend hundreds on a new set of tyres due to uneven wear.

lol. movement in suspension bolts. in a 33 i certainly hope not. would also love to know where said 50 buck wheel alignments r done. that would be handy. although i do like my car to drive straight so for around 80 i just get fulcrum to do it. lol.

hmmm.... double wishbone might limit the effect but it will still be there to some extent. 50 bux/80 bux shame sh*t. I think quickfit charge me $70 or $80 normally for the liner (but it's a pr*ck of a job) and $50 for the XF.

Any modification to suspension can cause the alignment to be out, or can cause an already ill adjust alignment to be further out. If you were on the coast my work does alignments for $66.

Thanks guys for your advice. I'll definitly be getting a wheel alignment done after reading a few of your comments, especially since i've just forked out over $700 for 2 new rear tyres. I'll be able to get it done for free as the place i bought my tyres from gives me one free wheel alignment and puncture repair....yay ;) and thanks again to jutto for fitting the coilovers!

Ty,

Give Bossman tyres at Archerfield a call. From memory he's pretty cheap for wheel alignments. It's only a quick run down the motorway for you that way :ermm:

the guys got a 1500 dollar wheel alignment machine, that can't fronts unless you take your front bar off :D

/ takes 5 days to do your tyres

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
