I have a 1999 r34 gtv with busted rear shocks, bought a second hand set pedders brand front nismo rears, front lower bushing drivers side broke before getting an alignment, got an alignment then found a second hand front nismo set, installed them, then when turning lock to lock in drive with foot on the brake the back wheels seem to shudder like something is binding.. car is rwd, put the knocking squishy stock shocks back issue gone, did I instal something wrong do I really need to loosen all control arm bushings tighten everything at resting level.. or need longer end links to lower that much or what.. I’m on a budget after spending so much bringing the car back to life and don’t want to get f**ked by a suspension place.. also front right bushing seems to make a rubber squeaking sound when pulling in a driveway on that side of the car with the nismo shocks same as the pedders that broke

Dodgy shocks are back on seems no issue, I noticed the front springs weren’t seated on the bottom of the strut properly so I seated them where they should be now I’m trying to decide if I instal them again.. would them not being seated properly cause spring binding that would transfer though to the back shocks or is it hicas/dif related.. didn’t do it at all in reverse or neutral

    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
