Just got mine installed (everything except the strut braces which I already had).

I had to get the rear guards rolled as the tyres scraped with the softer suspension (rear tyres 265 x 35 x 18, rear wheels 18" x 9.5" 38mm offset).

The difference between the old suspension (cusco coilovers 10kg/mm front and 8kg/mm rear) and the new is fantastic.

I can't wait to try it on the track again.

Thanks Matt and Gary for answering all my stupid questions.

Hey im not a suspension genius... but im looking at camber arms for the back of my 33. It's not lowered yet but im getting coilovers in the future. Anyway im having really bad tyre wear on the inside.. would the rear camber arms in ur group buy fix this? And would they also be able to be used when i do lower it?? Or could it be as simple as getting a balance and alignment?

Sorry if this has been covered before but there's too many pages to go through:P

Cheers.

Just got my package in the mail. All pieces arrived safe and sound. Very happy with the deal. Thanks for all your help Matt.

If anything the only bit of "constructive criticism" I can add is that there was a definite lack of communication after the transaction. This is only a minor issue but would have been nice to be kept appraised of an ETA. Still, I suspect things have been quite busy.

Now just need to get it fitted :laugh:

Just sent email to you Matt! Same email I sent nearly 3 weeks ago to try and get your account/payment details so I can pay for my shocks. You said your Dad was to busy to be checking emails but this has been some kind of teeth-pulling exercise... All I want to do is pay for it!

      GOT SUM's RB34

      By klutched · Posted

      This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O

      Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though.

      215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.

      That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.
