Daily Suspension/steering Setup?

[AdrianGTT]

hi guys, im pretty much new to the whole skyline scene!

after looking around on the web i cant seem to find too much on what would be really ideal to go aftermarket on, so im hoping someone can shed some light

for a car planned to be used as 80% daily and 20% track whats to go for?

bigger sways

rods

links

i have installed BC BR coilovers but thats about it

any help is appreciated

p.s im also looking into upgrading to a r34 gtr braking system very soon, from what i heard this would be the best option for my scenario

thanks

24mm adjustable anti-roll bars. HD links are not a bad idea for these.

At least adjustable polyurethane bushes on the front uppers. Adjustable length arms if you want to go harder/nastier with more adjustability (and slightly more chance of getting defected). Same at the rear.

I recommend adjustable length pillow-ball jointed caster arms at the front. Much better than any bushed solution.

New rear subframe bushes. This is hard work, but worth it. If not, then at least some pineapple rings to lock the subframe up a bit.

New diff bushes can be good. This is less about handling than about removing driveline slop and vibration.

Maybe 1° neg camber at rear. Slight toe in for stability or zero toe for a more active rear end.

<2° neg camber at front. 1.5° is usually good. As much caster as you can wind in. Slight negative to zero toe in.

If it gets the wanders in a straight line or tramlines a lot, try a little more front toe in. If it is a bit scary with power on in the corners, try a little more toe in at the rear.

There are a dozen ways to tweak the above settings to suit different tastes and styles. But the above will work without chewing too many tyres. At the track, if you have the adjustability, you can add more neg camber front and rear for the day then take it back off.

GTSBoy is on the money, mine is only a weekender buts gets driven hard.

BC BR coilovers

Whiteline adjustable swaybars, 24mm F, 22mm R

GKTech Pillowball caster arms

Superpro rear camber bushes

1.7 degrees camber front, 1.2 rear, 8 degrees castor

and thats all ive got so far. in my mind its a good place to start if you are short on funds. this is by no means how i will leave my setup. ie i will do pinapples etc when im not so lazy

This has cost $2100ish and im definantly happier with how it rides/handles through the hills. if you plan to do more track days then look at proper adjustable arms.

And of course the best tyres you can afford

on the brakes front the calipers are pretty decent, rda slotted rotors, better pads and braided lines will give a good improvement.

thanks for your share guys, ill definately start looking more in to all these options, i just needed a few ideas first!

and Ahbee just over $2000 sounds like a very resonable price for your setup, have you done all the installments yourself? if so how did you go about it

yea all installs myself, hardest was by far the bushes. $100 press from supercheap auto was all i needed but if i had to do it again i might look at paying someone. coilovers are straightforward, theres plenty of tutorials to follow if your lost, same with swaybars.
