Hi Simon. not sure why they stopped working, some server changes perhaps. They seem OK now.

:P cheers :)

all good now :thumbsup:

just a quick question regarding rear camber adjustment, i run my car with tyre just above the guard front and rear so need to pull a fair whack of camber out of the rear wheels. apparently you can use 2 rear camber kits to double the effect. how much positive camber will i be able to add with 2 kits installed?!?

im going to get some castor bushes regardless and already have installed the subframe bushes and have a whiteline front camber kit sitting at home ready to be installed. just need to know if the rear camber is going to be adjustable enough to suit my application or if i should just go with rose jointed fully adjustable items.

cheers

Hi Simon, the rear camber kits each add 0.75 degrees of positive adjustment, plus the 0.25 of the standard adjuster. But that's the minimum compared to brand new bushes. Since you have been driving an R32 (14 to 18 years old) around at a such a low height, chances are your bushes are far from new and severely distorted. I have seen as much as 3 degrees change in those circumstances, and that was in a car where the bushes looked OK.

Having done heaps of Skyline camber correction myself and sold over 120 kits, no one has reported not being able to achieve the recommended alignment settings. What may stop you is tyre contact with the guard.

>_< cheers :D

Hi All

Matt here

To Anyone who could not get through, I am now answering PMs and all questions for Gary the best I can. With the new business extremely busy, we have been flat out, however gary is off on Holidays to the USA next week for 5 weeks. This does not mean that sales will hault, as I will personally be looking after all sales and enquiries from this point on. For anyone with more technical questions, there are some I can assist with, but any that I can not will be forwarded to Gary.

So please, PM me (I will check the GB threads when possible, but PM is best - I will supply an email address and a phone number for me)

Cheers

Matt

Matt brought a full kit for my gtr32 and had some problems with the rear camber kit (KCA-347) as some of the bush's were split as soon as I opened the package

tried to pm but got no response if you could pm with a phone number or email address that would be great

cheers

Quick question: what is stock like in the lead up to Christmas?

Cheers,

Lucien.

Flowing.

I can pretty much have anything, anywhere, in 5-10 working days - had a few hiccups this week for some guys, but 5-10 days.

My only dilema is stagea front springs...

Great thanks. Just need to wait for my tax return to come through. Given I have some Noltec replacement sub-frame bushes, I assume there would be no gain from pineapples?

Hey SK, i was wondering if you could help me out, I'm after a set of GT-R swaybars to suit my HCR32.

I was after:

x1 28mm Front Adjustable Swaybar

X1 24mm Rear Adjustable Swaybar

I have also sent you a PM in regards to the same thing.

Thanks,

Tim

I bought a kit several months ago and thought I write back here with a bit of a review/update.

I ordered the suspension kit around April, the standard kit with Eibach springs and Bilstein coil over conversion. I had the kit fitted in a day by eastcoast suspension. I can highly recommend them.

My initial response to driving the car home from eastcoast was one of total amazement. I just couldn’t believe how smooth it was. No more smashing my back over speed humps.... I even chose to drive up Parramatta road and it felt like the road has been resurfaced. Amazing.

So on the road, my GTR was perfect. But what about the track?

Well I got the Eibach springs coil over kit so I could play with the spring rates for different tracks. My first outing at eastern creek saw me drop three seconds off my previous best time, with no other changes to the car. The car felt a whole lot better. But I wanted to squeeze a bit more out of her, and so I put some stiffer Eibach springs in to make her hold a bit better and made some minor adjustment to the front and rear toe and camber to suit EC and instantly dropped a couple more seconds. I believe I would have dropped more time because my front right tyre had a slow leak which I worked out was dropping about 5psi every 8-10 laps. By the time I worked it out what was going on with it, the track day was over.

1:58 old suspension.

1:55 new suspension.

1:53 changed springs and minor adjustment.

Once home, took the stiff springs out and put the standard ones in. good as gold!

Sk, I owe you a case. PM me your work address and a case of Coronas is on the way!

Good to hear

May I ask what spring rate you went to?

3 seconds with only a suspension change is good.

5 is awesome!!

SK Snr is less of a beer drinker I must warn... Me on the other hand...

Hi SK,

I bought some bush's previously and am now looking at shocks and springs. Have you still got sets available?

Also I know postage would be free for this order, however I would prefer to collect them in sydney. Is this possible?

Thanks.

    • thanks mate, one of the reasons I even bought it to be fair.
    • I found parts on EFI Solutions webshop that seemed to be the accurate ones. I haven't gotten around to fitting the turbos back on the car yet since I still have to deal with the shitty crack in the engine block. But I'm confident that the bolts I ordered will fit. According to EFI they are also 7-16/24. The reason M11x1 got involved here is because it is apparently very similar to 7-16/24.
    • Well, to be fair to the car I've driven it daily for almost a decade now, although in that time only put on 50k, as it just recently passed 100k miles early this year. For the most part its been fine because I've been able to source parts from AUS like jacks jdm and a few places in Japan, some things like pads have been easy since 300z pads swap right in... I realize its probably at that time in its life i should find a new DD (but I rent and only have so much space, no garage) so new cars just complicate things. As it is older though, I recognize its about that time as with my '67 GTO to maybe side step and find an alternative, but if i can keep driving it... I want to.   That said, I may just look into a local shop that might be able to, problem is the mechanic I work with has limited space as a mom and pop operation, and he's a busy busy man, so id need to find out if he can keep the car in the meantime, which may or may not be practical for him. Maybe I'll just buy one off jacks jdm and get that refurbed /shrug.. just looking at options and what others may have to offer for advice on the matter. Like I said, its hard finding people around here who actually have one, I've had mine 9 and a half years and I've met 3 others, and they are all military, one was oem from 95 with 30k miles (rip that car... guy got hit after someone crossed s double yellow, totaled it)
    • I've noticed my rear springs sag a bit compared to the fronts. I have stock springs and KYB struts. The front wheels are pretty consistent in their ride height, but compared to the front wheels, one of the rears sits 20mm lower, and the other 40mm lower. This negatively affects the ground clearance, and also angles the headlights up. What are some some economical options for new springs? Or information like good spring rates, lengths  in order to find a suitable replacement etc Far from lowering the car, I'd prefer to raise it a bit to keep it ground clearance friendly.
    • I searched for ages as well, I'm importing an engine to get the head off it.
