paid for my set, now the hardest part, waiting..........oh this is so exciting

Order on hold as his car was stolen.

Good luck with the recovery, hope it comes back and in perfect condition.

:P cheers ;)

Sydneykid, do you do fittings for these suspension components? If so where are you locaed, and rates?

Sorry I don’t have time to work on my own cars, let alone others. The recommended fitters are in the first post of each Group Buy thread.

:D cheers :rofl:

Thanks mate. Dont suppose you have recommendation for greater south west?

Bankstown is about as close as it gets, quick trip up the M5, Fairford Rd exit;

9790 1745 talk to Bruce

Ok, got the shocks and springs in the car and went for a trip down to wakefield. I was impressed with how comfortable it was and it was a real pleasure to cruise around in and another member who went to the track day would agree with me after having a ride in the car. The suspension set had no problems at all on the track and handled the corners beautifully. Would definitely consider buying the rest of the kits later in the year.

cheers again gary.

Received my kit on Thursday morning last week, and I must say SK went above and beyond any reasonable expectations to make sure I received it in time. Dude is flatout amazing.

Shocks, springs, swaybars, and bushes all went in on Friday. My impressions... the car is really tight and firm, no more jiggling or squeaking over ripples. It feels like the springs and shocks are doing the work now as the bushes no longer bounce.

On larger bumps, pot holes and high speed undulations the car doesn't bottom out, clunk or crash onto the bump stops.

It makes for a great drive on the street, you can feel the road and everything is very direct, so it is far from being a luxurious ride. Still far better than the aged Japanese gear that was under my car previously.

In terms of handling, like lingeringsoul, I went to Wakefield on Sunday too. It was my first time out and I managed a 1:18.2570 on street tyres, the car was very progressive and felt great through the high speed corners as well and putting the power down through the slower stuff.

I love it!

hey mate, can you get R34 GTT whiteline rear camber pair for $128? If so, please let me know and I will forward you the funds.

Yes, PM me for details

:yes: cheers :D

hay sk can you get all the new rods etc to adj rear camber on r33 gtst's from whitline? should i get a hicas canceller bar for some one else or do whitline sell these also.

cheers

Hi Ryan, the Whiteline camber adjusters are the eccentric, polyurethane bush style that fit in your standard arms. I am not a fan of using spherical bearings in road cars, if you want more info do a search in the Supesnion section “Sydneykid”, “any date”, “spherical”.

Try GTRGeoff for a HICAS locking bar.

:D cheers :P

This might seem a little daft, but how much for the complete kit minus the strut tower braces, and a price inc strut tower braces, just not sure if im adding up correctly :P. Also will this kit suit a SII Sedan?

cheers

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
