Haha okay cheers scotty well in the mean time it all seems to be going well *touches wood* I'm not after massive power, I play with plenty at work, just wanting reliability/no issues with the mods i've got.

Anyone live near blacktown and want to be my plan c?

trying to grab a bargain and i'll be coming through sydney in about 10 days

so if either of my two friends can't get to it who would want to pick up some suspension for me and pay for it (its retardedly cheap at $100) and i'll give you the money when i come down plus something for your troubles

hey tom, im near blacktown so any problems send a pm or if goldzilla cant do the pick up. :action-smiley-069:

Ok suspension is now in my friends possession, misread the add so instead of $100 it was $200 but the guy gave them to me for $175

So now i have a full set of Bilsteins (to suit gtr, so not 100% ideal but i can deal with it) with king springs (not perfect but...)

Plan is:

Get shocks from friend

Drive to TAS

Source some strut tops (only thing missing from the shocks as the mechanic who installed the guys coilovers took them off for some reason)

Create a set of shocks with Eibach springs (currently on the car) and Bilsein shocks

and another set with my Impul shocks and the King springs

Set Bilsteins to lowest setting

Win at life (hopefully)

Also, the Bilsteins are yellow to match my car :)

So anyone with some applicable strut tops, sell them to me please

edit: attaching pics

You going to get them serviced before putting them in? I loved my bilstein setup with Nismo springs.....was awesome!

Nice win btw!

Unfortunately the tops will be missing for a reason. Many suspensions sets don't come with tops and you have to reuse the existing ones.

So if you are swapping your standard ones over just reuse the tops from those. If you don't have the standard ones....they are very hard to find because everyone needs them! Sometimes the easiest way to get a set is to buy some second hand standard shocks just for the tops :(

I actually asked fatz on fb and he has some!

Any chance of an r31/states owner combo super mighty lowball fatz?

Installed and set up my shiny new boost controller

post-61032-0-67912900-1360732582_thumb.jpg

Will need to change my spark plugs now I think, feels like spark is sometimes breaking down between 3-4k rpm, think its because my current plugs are gapped at 1.1mm

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
