Did anyone end up going to this? What were your results?

Was not a big turn out overall. Rain kept people away.

An evo, a couple of subaru's, couple of v8's and 3 skylines.

1. White r34 Gtr - Left before i got a chance to ask.

2. Gunmetal r33 GTST - 131kw. Not sure what was going on here, there might have been a signifcant boost leak. i had to leave before i could enquire more.

3. Grey r34 Gtr vspec - None - Fail on my behalf - I couldn't get my front diffuser off to strap the car down (allen key bolts had been stripped and people were waiting...Big thanks to Steve for giving me a hand to get the rear one off.)

Get Widge to do the tuning there. I think the price for the dyno day ended up being $60.

3 hrs? Could'nt of been just a power run. :/ You must've been unlucky lol. Everyone that i know who's been there has been happy with them.

I think the white Gtr only got 260kw.

That was me in the white 34gtr, a white r32 gtr got 260, i wasnt hanging around all day. Only saw the silver 34 as i was leaving, would be good to get a look at your car mate.

Funny that, i said that about your car. It looked very tidy.

My car looks the part, but it has issues atm (turbos are pretty shagged, compression is down slightly an the ecu needs a good tune). I'm currently looking at the options for a rebulid/upgrade.

Eitherway, next time you see me say hello and "i'll show ya mine if you show me yours"

...that doesn't sound right at all....lol

    • Had I known the diff between R32 and R33 suspension I would have R33 suspension. That ship has sailed so I'm doing my best to replicate a drop spindle without spending $4k on a Billet one.
    • OEM suspension starts to bind as soon as the car gets away from stock height. I locked in the caster and camber before cutting off the kingpin. I then let the upright down in a natural (unbound) state before re-attaching it. Now it moves freely in bump and droop relative to the new ride height. My plan is to add GKTech arms before the car is finished so I can dial camber and caster further. It will be fine. This isn't rocket science. Caster looks good, camber is good, upper arm doesn't cause crazy gain and it is now closer to the stock angle and bump steer checks out. Send it.
    • Pay careful attention to the kinematics of that upper arm. The bloody things don't work properly even on a normal stock height R32. Nissan really screwed the pooch on that one. The fixes have included changing the hole locations on the bracket to change the angle of the inner pivot (which was fairly successful but usually makes it impossible to install or remove the arm without unbolting the bracket from the tower, which sucks) and various swivelling upper arm designs. ALL the swivelling upper arm designs that look like a capital I (with serifs) suck. All of them. Some of them are in fact terribly unsafe. Even the best one of them (the old UAS design) shat itself in short order on my car. The only upper arm that works as advertised and is pretty safe is the GKTech one. But it is high maintenance on a street car. I'm guessing that a 600HP car as (stupidly, IMO) low as you are going is not going to be a regular driver. So the maintenance issues on suspension parts are probably not going to be a problem. But you really must make sure that however your fairly drastically modded suspension ends up, that the upper arms swing through an arc that wants to keep the inner and outer bolts parallel. If the outer end travels through an arc that makes that end's bolt want to skew away from parallel with the inner bolt, you will build up enormous binding and compressing forces in the bushes, chew them out and hate life. The suspension compliance can actually be dominated by the bush binding, not the spring rate! It may be the case that even something like the GKTech arm won't work if your suspension kinematics become too weird, courtesy of all the cut and shut going on. Although you at least say there's no binding now, so maybe you're OK. Seeing as you're in the build phase, you could consider using R33/4 type upper arms (either that actual arm, OEM or aftermarket) or any similar wishbone designed to suit your available space, so alleviate the silliness of the R32 design. Then you can locate your inner pivots to provide the correct kinematics (camber gain on compression, etc).
    • The frontend wouldn't go low enough because the coilover was max low and the upper control arm would collapse into itself and potentially bottom out in the strut tower. I made a brace and cut off the kingpin and then moved the upright down 1.25" and welded. i still have to finish but this gives an idea. Now I can have a normal 3.25" of shock travel and things aren't binding. I'm also dropping the lower arm and tie rod 1.25".
    • Motor and body mockup. Wheel fitment and ride height not set. Last pic shows front ride height after modifying the front uprights to make a 1.25" drop spindle.
