I live in the SE Suburbs, near the clayton area, I've seen a loooot of other skylines around there :P so i hope i can recognise some of them soon!

Hey thanks guys, looks like a great forum to me. I saw that post about the cruise on the 10th, bummer, im on holiday in perth until the 14th :-P I'll catch the next event though, definitely. Oh and its a non-turbo gts, the 97 model with the dual airbags.

I might give a word of warning about T.G.S Performance from whom i bought the car, recently i had a low speed front impact (not my fault either) the result of which being that i had to get a new front kit and headlights fitted, mainly due to the poor fitting of the front spoiler. as it turned out, when T.G.S had fitted the previous front after they had imported it, they REMOVED the front impact bar to get it to fit, thus giving fark all front impact diffusion in the incedence of a major accident. The good blokes at Blackburn Motor Body had to build a new one and fit it before putting the new kit on as it was totally unsafe, and i would never have realised without having that little smash :-P On the upside, its all fixed and has a new kit which looks and is fitted much better than before, all on the other drivers insurance! She'll be looking first before cornering in the future!

I'll keep an eye out for a black r32 (sweet photos btw) in the future! have you ever noticed that at the junction of ferntree gully and blackburn, you'll normally see 2 or 3 skylines? lol its weird

Cheers,

yeah, her karma must have been paying back 100:1 that day :-)

well, i'd rather be in queensland or something, but my family's there, and they pay for the tickets :-P if its free i'll take it.

on a side note, my brother here in perth wants to sell his r33, do you think i should tell him to advertise it here in the perth forum??

Cheers,

      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
