I (and many other SAUers) own and recommend Bilstein shocks.

www.bilstein.com.au

You could also go for other well-known brands like HKS, TEIN and Cusco.

Note with any overseas made shocks, you should pair them with Aussie springs (like King Springs) to suit our crap quality roads.

In the interest of balance, koni's are every bit as good as bilsteins:

I've used both, road and race, car and motorcycle. Properly set up they are equal. Personally I'd recommend looking at Bilstein's or Koni's over the 'name brand' Japanese suspension.

Sorry SteveL, but they are not. I use Konis on lots of cars, I like them very much. But not on Skylines, since they are not sold in Europe, Koni use Japanese recommended valving. This simply does not work as well as the Bilstein valving in our conditions. I am not the only one with this opinion, check around the guys that have tried both.

You assume that I haven't....I've found that in virtually every case there's been other explanations (eg poor spring choice). Indeed I've found the same with Bilsteins. As I said.....'properly set up......'.

    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
    • Probably. I take it that they are also mentioned to be for R34 Skyline? For example.... RDA has that part as RDA7957. I have the dimpled and slotted version of that on my car https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/285518478694?srsltid=AfmBOopKxMuAFpsxZJdB1cam4D5RAj1f9yJyOttPZLAwXVNCOiwlhrIy This is DBA's top one piece equivalent https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364246686631?srsltid=AfmBOorbb0XHQgqTvZLgQPhg70nqJtGvdojKnugum3O2LFSr2h-obp8D
