Heasmans Sydenham NSW

East Coat Suspension Kirrawee NSW

St George Steering Punchbowl NSW

Centeline Thomastown Vic

Traction Tyre & Suspension Rowville Vic

Discount Tyres Service Belconnen Act

Motsons Qld

Got mine installed at TT (Vic) $350 i think, with alignment (shocks/springs/camber kits front+rear) + plus fiddling with the adj swaybars i had in there.

Very reasonable price i thought.

sent PM 7 days ago with a reminder 4 days ago .. just needed to confirm the order amount as I'm not getting everything from the kit. This is pretty fricken appalling service I must say.

If it takes more than 7 days just to get a "this is how much you need to pay ..etc" how long does it take to receive the item? I don't want to pay close to $1500 to then have to chase it up for weeks like someone's doing me a favour taking $1500 off me.

Re installation costs ... I've been quoted $550-650 by the 2 NSW places (heasmans and east coast) so a fair bit pricier than the vic joint.

SK gets dozens of PM's, EVERY DAY, 50+ possibly, most of it probably doesn't even pertain to group buys.... he doesn't make money off these kits and basically has offered, free, damn right impressive, advice on these forums for years. The closest thing we have to gospel around here.

Please be patient, he or matt (i think is the other guy) will get to the PM.

Centreline in Vic quoted $500, and that was a "special" price for me! Centreline sponsor SAU Vic, of which i'm a paid member (10% discount i believe) AND i also had a 20% discount voucher ONTOP of my membership. Best price? $500 :P

Traction Tyres do great work, 2 guys working on it, multiple test drives of the car, adjusted my sway bars for me as well. But for those comparing i ONLY had shocks, springs, and front/frear camber kits installed. If you're getting higher quotes, it could be because you have more stuff being done.

Once parts are sent, Toll priority are very quick.

Lol not exactly.. Coilovers as in coilovers.. adjustable height and dampening rates etc.. As they are alittle harder than the springs im interested if big differences are noted. Im assuming they would be.

How do you find the adjustable bars with your setup then? Is it stockers or sydney kids setup?

Cheers

i did SK's kit in stages.

bars first, big difference, noticeably flatter cornering

springs/shocks second, bigger difference again, car felt more planted, more stable, and cornering was even better again. Camber kits installed and setup to SK specs.

bilstein/whiteline ride is fairly firm, but felt great at Sandown...

all the damper adjustable stuff can be a bit of a wank really. Just get adjustable sway bars, that's what matters more.

what coilovers you looking at?

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?

      Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
