Suspension/handling Specialists....


Recommended Posts

Hi..i'm wondering if anyone can recommend workshops and mechanics who know their stuff on fitting and setting suspension and handling setups, i.e coilovers, camber,castor, toe fitting and settings, for skylines?

Anywhere within about 30kms of brisbane.

Any info will be greatly appreciated~

Thanx~~

i won't be using mercury again for any of my work, but each to their own. However, if you do use them, get someone independant to check after they're finished

I use Shaun at Goodyear Strathpine... great guy and pretty switched on, does top work etc.. he races an Evo in some form of rally so he know a bit about what he's talking about :D They're also a Fulcrum Queensland dealer.

Thanx people fer all the info...fulcrum? do they do tests on used coilovers? im basically getting a set of used coilovers and wanna run a test on their usability, and also if there is any leakage and other problems before buying and installing them at the same time. Will these tests be expensive if they are available?

Murcury are not suspension specalists, they get all their alligment / set up work done down the road at fulcurm, they are quite happy to fit suspension parts though. In my opinion it would be better just to go to fulcurm in the first place.

Accurate suspension. Timms court :)

They seem to do good work, just I think you need to say I want this. Not ask them what you need.

Other than that try and track down Scotty, I think hes over redlands way now.

Actually they go to quickfit on enoggera road (the one next to the mobil).

Or how about www.shockreco.com.au. They can rebuild anything. I had my standard struts rebuilt 2 weeks ago and couldn't be happier with their work.

Not since Scotty left, I wouldnt go back there.

Not knocking their work, but hold on to that reciept, and check those shocks on the 29th day after the work was compleated. Rebuilt coilovers apparently only have a 30day warrenty.

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
