Recommended Posts

Can anyone recomend a good suspension place in Sydney - Prefer Hills Dustrict or North sides.

I'd like to find someone who knows about all the different options for R33s and understands what Jap Imports sometimes come out here with.

Reason: My Tanabe suspension keep sqeaking - I've had it all out , in pieces and lubed it all up , but it still squeaks. I think it may be the shocks.

I was thinking of Pedders at Hornsby ??

nyhoo - any good recomendations would be appreciated.

Please don't post non-recomeded places - PM me instead.

Cheers,

yeah i couldnt agree more.. whiteline setup my car and did a great job.. but at the end of the day they were the rudest most uncoperative pricks ive ever dealt with.. i honestly couldnt believe there attitude... customer service goes a long way

Due to lack of time and frustration (cause the suspension is giving me the 5hits) - I decided to take it up to Hills MS - (just round the corner from where I work) - Mark recomended Koni adjustables - So I am just waiting on a price (and time) from him.....

Cheers all -

hey hey,

I just had some work finished by mark & steve, and i asked them to drop in the koni yellow sports. Theyre ****en hetic :)

Ive still gotta get the rears and coils put in, 1 of my shocks was dead at the front, so thats why ive only had that pair replaced right now.

When driving at say 100k+, slight swerving will make ure arse drift out (with that nice unsafe feeling), so make sure u get all 4 done as well with the right springs.

    • Not following.   Its worth noting that the N54 has no oil pressure sensor from factory, only a switch. I have retro fit a sensor so I can monitor the pressure. The car will now alert me if it drops. 
    • Yeah that sounds like a way to isolate the issue, but I am not sure how easy it is to get a gauge on it; as Greg said it is subframe out to do anything anyway. As it happens FPG also have a attesa pressure sender which goes in the rear of the xfer case. I have a kit but have not installed in the race car yet (because, race car) https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/collections/nissan-skyline-r32gt-r/products/fpg-bnr32-attesa-high-pressure-hose-replacement-with-optional-pressure-sensor-adapter-fpg-116
    • My BC's are great! I wasn't going to spend big money, its a long way from a "well-funded" car. They are really comfy on the street and they feel good enough for me on the track. I think they were about $1400 AUD delivered with front camber tops. Hard to go wrong with that. They replaced my Bilstein B8's with Eibach springs which were good also but just a touch soft and I wanted the height adjustment. It didn't help that a Sydney mega pothole bent one of the front strut tubes just enough to make lowering with the jack tricky as it didn't compress unless you drove back and forth a bit.  I'm also a little less willing to go hard into fast corners. Maybe I'll get better over time, but for now I'm happy to lose a few seconds and not keep feeling like I'm about to die. Nice point on the left foot braking. This is definitely an area I want to get better at. Like you I should be doing it when pottering around town just to get more used to it and stop it feeling odd.
    • This must be my problem, I can smell fuel in the driver rear wheel well sometimes.
    • I mean down here I get absolutely nothing, and I'm driving around with a V8 version. I say "absolutely nothing" but the actual instances I can remember on one hand, and funnily enough were all in Sydney, not Melbourne. Specifically one very insistent guy hanging out of his window, pointing to the engine bay, then giving me an exaggerated thumbs up. That and one guy a decade ago who was an American who had clearly just seen his first R34 ever in person, and seemed surprised when I was like "Oh dude you'll see them everywhere" but this was 2010. But 99.99% of the time it gets no looks from absolutely anyone, ever.  BIG CAVEAT: SEDAN
