Hi Guys,

I have an R32 GTsT. It has height adjustable Cusco coilovers all round. I have one problem though. The drivers side front shock has decided to die. Completely.

What advice would you give? I am thinking of replacing both sides of the suspension to even it out. I have no idea on price. Can anyone give me ideas as to if I can replace both front shocks with Cusco stuff, or if I should just replace the entire suspension setup with maybe something from Pedders?

I was told that no other shock but Cusco will go into the suspension now. The verdict from a Canberran suspension place was that I need to replace both front struts and may as well do both shocks as well. His suggestion was that I get him to build me a custom coilover setup for around $3600-$4000. (!!!!!!)

Hope you guys can help.

For starters stay away from Pedders, NO BULL.

Do some research and find some one who will service your struts, It can be done and you will be better off in the long run.

I can't help with anyone to do it for you, but if my Nismo struts fail I will get them kitted if it is possible...

Can the Cusco struts be regassed/serviced? Thats another thing I was told by "Canberra's top suspension" guy. He said they cant be re-gassed/serviced.

I don't know, however they are a top brand so they should be serviceable. Have you tried searching the internet for this?

The car was built by Denzo at JMS in Adelaide. I have just sent them an email asking for their advice.

I have checked out the thread you suggestewd and I will definatly be looking into these guys in QLD.

However, the only problem I have with that, is that I have no idea about cars. So I would have to take the car somewhere to get the suspension taken out to send it up to QLD. Then once I get them back, someone to install it all for me.

(I'm pretty sure I could talk some of my psycho drift mates down here in helping me pull it out and put it back in). Either way, will let you know how I go!

Cheers!

Im no suspension guru, but struts? Skylines use wishbones, not Macpherson struts, so if you dont have struts, why would you need new ones :confused: Is it a terminolgy thing perhaps?

mmm, id be getting a second opinion, unless the "custom" coil over setup is a high range Bilstein / Koni etc coil overs with adjustable rebound/dampening then id say stay away.

Also its a run of the mill R32 GTST, why do you need "custom" anything? Plenty of places where you can buy off the shelf local susp kits or import Jap kits for far cheaper.

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.

      boost source Size Garrett gt28 gen2

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
