hey gary, did u get my pm?

If you haven't received a response already, then no I didn't get it. Not your fault, my inbox was FULL. So please just resend it.

:P Cheers :P

sydneykid, I currently have an R33 series 2 on stock suspension with stock rims. I am soon to purchase some 18x8 and 18x9.5 rims to go on the car and I would like to lower the stance of the car also to improve upon the currently 4wd height and handling.

I drive this car over all sorts of roads everyday, and I am not remotely interested in drift or trackwork etc as its purely a good looking and fast'ish daily that is comfortable on most syd roads.

What suspension components would you recommend given that I want to:

- keep as close to possible as standard ride comfort

- lower the car to something sensible above the wheels while remaining at a legal height

- improve the handling a bit (I find a lot of softness under hard cornering with the stock gear).

- not spend a bucket load setting it up

Thanks mate

PM me if this is not appropriate thread to respond.

Hi SK,

Could I get the same response as the below. I'm not really interested in track or drag either, but want something comfortable and a bit lower would be nice too.

Cheers,

James

Hiya sydneykid,this be my firsty ever SAU post.Just signed up.

Anywayz I have an R32 GTS4 which is currently suspended by Skippy the Bush Kangaroo on Acid.Not my choice.Was like that when I bought it a week ago.

Sooo,what I want to know is can you supply a kit to sort this evil critter out.I want everything and I want it now.What do you recommend.The car is for road use.Will be contacting GTRgeoff for one of his HICAS lock bars.I intend to do it all once and do it right before I spend all my money misbehaving.Also if you can recommend a workshop in SE Qld that would be great.

    • Sounds more like what Brad said, that it's mainly transfer. What pad bed in procedure did you use, and did you replace/machine the rotors, or just swap pads?
    • The stutter is almost entirely in the pedal. I don't feel the brakes release and reapply as you would with ABS engaging but the pedal feels that way, without the brakes releasing. It only lasts for less than a second and the pedal is fine again. It's hard to explain, sorry.  I'll get under this weekend and just double check everything is tight. Fluid is at max where I left it.
    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
