Sort of on the subject...

i'm looking at entering my car into some events such as dutton rally, motorkhanas, hillclimbs etc next year... was wondering who around brisbane is good to speak to about setups etc?

Hi Jason

The 2 places listed near the top of this post are always doing track cars.

I know that Leda Suspension mostly do just track cars and race suspension setups. Both Leda and Fulcrum are good to go to.

i had a talk to fulcrum, and they seemed more interested in just selling me the most expensive of everything they carry, rather than listen to what i had to say and sit down and talk to me about what suited my application the best etc.

I asked them about whiteline products, and was told that they 'don't deal with them.. they occasionally deal with the sway bars, but thats it', and then tried to sell me all their own 'super-pro' bushes and other fulcrum products...

i called whiteline to find out where i could buy their products, and was told to speak to fulcrum, because they are the distributors.. i said that i'd spoken to fulcrum and they didn't deal with whiteline, which they found rather interesting as their rep was at fulcrum at that point in time.

so i'm looking for somewhere that will actually listen to what i have to say and work out what would suit me the best, rather than just "you need this, this, this and this, and the best (most expensive) of everything... now bend over while we ream you with $100/hour labour and hugely inflated parts prices etc...

Talk to Bruce from Leda Suspension.

He really spent alot of time with me even over the phone and the guy didn't even know me. He advised me on a number of different products and what I need for my application.

Give him a try and see how you go.....

thanks mate.. i gave him a call today and he seemed really helpful. He said he's happy to stay back one afternoon to have a chat to me, as i dont usually get out of work until 4:30 - 5:00... so i'll probably drop in and see him tomorrow afternoon... and its not too far from me either :)

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
