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?

      Went out for drive with Jackie for a while in the Mazda and whilst it was raining cats and dogs, the interior and boot are still nice and dry so the top and drains are working well to keep the elements out, winning

      Yeah I heard the same. Might be hard to order one. But then I guess can go to hks or go to a more expensive n1 block with tomei. Guess will jump the hurdle once I get there next upgrade around. I can’t get work done in the states as the lead time will take for ever on top of shipping to Hong Kong.

      https://www.platinumracingproducts.com/en-us/products/nissan-rb26-cast-blocks This is the solution I was thinking of. I would stay away from Tomei USA, their quality is a question mark to me. If you want an engine machined in the US contact Club DSPORT: https://clubdsport.com/ Tomei JP is probably fine but I recall they stopped doing pre-assembled short or long blocks. In general it's pretty tough to get any kind of RB26 block at the moment with Nissan so severely backordered.

      PAR specifically offers stock ratios in their gearset and you could do whatever ratios are physically possible supposedly for no extra cost. I agree 6 ratios is better than 5, the factory 2nd gear is equivalent to the Getrag 2nd gear if you account for the differing final drive ratio though. The Getrag 3rd gear with a 3.916 final drive is equivalent to a 1.6 2nd gear in the FS5R30A. I'm about to swap the transmission out on my car, I'm tempted to send the one I have now out for rebuild with the standard "cross ratio" gearsets out there to see if it really makes such a big difference the next time I pull the transmission.
