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.

      OK so I just bidded $500 on an R33 GTS4 that no one seems to want. Waiting on a call from the agent to see if I won. 32 GTS4 is for sale. I can't deal with the temptation to mod it.

      Might be there for work later in the year. Wouldn't mind catching up with you fellas - can't have too many beers, but will consume copious amounts of takoyaki while executing an asian squat on the side of the road while you blokes sort out your hangovers.

      Never ending fuel pump drama

      By Duncan · Posted

      I know one example is a anecdote not data, but I'm running the same Aeroflow 525 at full voltage through a regular relay, and while I've had other fuel problems including melting the factory fuel hat, the pump itself has been fine for years. Of course, they aren't *that* expensive these days, you could swap in a new one and see if the issue is resolve. I think you had a previous thread about fuel problems, have you been monitoring and logging fuel pressure? Is there anything voltage related (for example does the voltage go up when the pressure goes down)

      Never ending fuel pump drama

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      So last night pulling away from the lights, I lost power for about 1 second. Bit weird, but I kept driving... 5 minutes later the pump completely dies. When I tried to start the car, the pump won't even prime.  I left the car for about an hour, tried to start it and it all appeared fine. Pump primed, car started, got the fuel pressure I should have.... Start driving home, 5 minutes later it dies again. I'm stuck in a shit spot this time going up hill with a car right behind me, so I just let the car continue to turn over while praying to the fuel pump gods. After about 2 minutes of turning the engine over, the fuel pump came back to life and I got home (only about another 5 min away).  So I've been digging around online, it seems like the 525 fuel pumps really don't like to be run at 100% all the time. I've found quite a few examples online of people killing their Walbro 525 pumps within about a year of usage when they are run without PWM.  So, my pump is an Aeroflow 525 (AF49-1057) and I've been running it at 100% without PWM. I'm thinking the Aeroflow 525 didn't like being run at 100% and has burnt itself up.  I really am sick of dealing with fuel pump issues, my current thoughts are -  1. Use a Walbro 450 and run it without PWM. It seems like these pumps hold up pretty well to being run at 100% all the time. I only make about 350kw and can't see me making any more power any time soon so this is probably a fine option.  2. Get a Walbro 525, run it with PWM. I know doing this will annoy me as I feel like with only 350kw, its extra expense that I don't "need" and I'll be thinking the whole time while setting it up that I should have gone with option 1. I know I'll be happy with this option when its setup and running, its only the initial setup frustration and cost as an issue.  3. Get a Walbro BKS1001 brushless pump. This is the fu*k it I'm already going PWM, might as well go full retard. This option just seems better in every way, with the only downside being cost. But I don't know much about this pump so I could be wrong.  Happy to get everyone's thoughts before I go digging around in the fuel tank again.
