(I've already posted this in the NSW section, but thought I might get a better response here)

I'm looking at getting my suspension looked at (potentially replaced) because it squeakes badly - There in nothing wrong with the ride (albeit a little stiff) But the noise 5hits me.

I've had it all out and apart myself, lubed to up - But the noise came back.

Any one recoemend a place in Sydney ?? (I was thinking of Pedders)

Cheers,

PS - It's Tanabe suspension in an R33

I have to say Whiteline out at Minto did a sensational job with my car. I now have their works package.

With stock boost and I/C, only filter, cat back exhaust and falken 451 tyres i was lapping Wakefield in 1:15 and EC in 2:01. with me being nothing special behind the wheel. At Wakefield that was just on 4 sec improvement. (I think about 0.5 to 1 sec goes to driver improvement over the two occasions)

Car still very streetable as my car is still a roadcar, and there handling kits with just bushes, and swaybars made a lge difference in my handling, and is pretty cheap, although i couldnt stop there i wanted the Bilsteins etc.

Has anyone got anything bad to say about Whiteline, i havent heard ay negative feedback, i found their price, service and after sales support excellent.

I always go to Whiteline for my suspension stuff. They did a good setup on my Commodore a few years ago (bushes, front strut brace, and f/r swaybars fitted) and recently sold me a good set of Bilsteins with Whiteline coils for the Skyline.

They aren't perfect though, their swaybays look kinda flimsy (but better than nothing) and the upright connecting rods on the swaybars were very weak on the Commodore and bent easily but they might have fixed that design flaw by now. Other than that they're streets ahead of any other suspension place I've been to. When I can afford it I'm going to get their swaybar/bush kit for the Skyline.

I wouldn't go to Pedders, they're over-priced. The same Bilstein/spring setup from Pedders would have cost me $200 more if I bought it from them, obviously not Whiteline springs but something similar. And their labour was about $30 more than Whiteline for fitting it (I did the fitting myself anyway so saved a couple more hundred).

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
