    Might as well post up my current setup Skyline model = R32 GTST Wheel diameter = 18 Wheel width = 9 Wheel offset =+27 Tyre size = 225 Modifications to fit = bit of camber on the rear from lowering the car Wheel: Rota g-force

    thanks hamish, yeah i'll be getting 527's in chromium black, along with some achilles 123s tyres the car should grip much better

    what would be the better option for an r32 gtst 2 door, 17x8.25+25 or 17x8.25+35? will be running 235/45 tyres all around, i know i can tuck both under stock guards but i want to be able to tuck the rears with between 0-1 degree negative camber so which would be the better option? guards are currently all stock but wouldnt mind rolling them, not to keen on doing much more, thanks!

    sounds great, if your car doesnt already have them maybe go for some poly bushings instead of stiffer springs? it would help reduce body roll and retain the good ride quality, plus its a maintenance item that you wont have to replace ever again

    Awesome, going through plenty of other threads 6f 4r or 5f 4r seems like the magic numbers for the street
  6. sama1500
    how do the 6kg and the 5kg ones ride and handle on the street? or even on a good bit of twisties? current coilovers in my r32 gtst arent the best and bc looks quite good from this thread

    i think i may opt for r33 gtst brakes, they're a straight bolt on using the same lines and everything, may not be a massive difference from r32 brakes but coupled with all the support gear i think it will be a substantial difference, anyone with any knowledge on basic suspension tuning who could give me a few tips for dialing out understeer and generally making my car handle better?
  8. sama1500
    the alpha gear is still a bit on the expensive side, i had a look at the ksport stuff and definitely out of my budget new, 33 brakes from what i found are the same as 32r brakes (not the vspec brembos) slightly bigger callipers, and rotor thickness + diameter, and they can be found quite cheap second hand leaving money over for braided lines, good pads and slotted/dimpled rotors, keep in mind my basis for comparison is stock r32 brakes with old pads so i dont think i'd need some crazy good setup for it to be an upgrade over what i have now the main problem i was having was suspension wise, the car was quite bad when going through tight corners, understeer everywhere, what's a good measure i can take to fix this? arms/bushes etc
  9. sama1500
    Well if I'm going to be doing pads, rotors, braided lines and fluid the cost of a set of r33 calipers on top of that isn't going to be much extra, so instead of doing all that on my r32 brakes and possibly finding out it's not enough I'll need to get new rotors and pads again along with 33 brakes
  10. sama1500
    I have been reading through a few already and at this stage r33 brakes seem like a step up from 32 ones without draining my wallet, there's not as much on adjustable arms though, I know there's plenty of different arms/joints you can get but I'm mainly interested what out of thouse would be the most helpful for a street setup and what I wouldn't need to get
  11. sama1500
    brembos are quite expensive even second hand, would r33 brakes, slotted & dimpled rotors, good quality pads and braided lines make a good difference? or even all that on my standard r32 brakes?
  12. sama1500
    just coming up with evo stuff man, i was asking more along the lines of what bolts onto an r32, eg r33/r34 brakes, other nissans etc
  13. sama1500
    So last night i took my car out for the first time for a mountain run and it wasnt great, brakes were not up to par and cornering resulted in lots of understeer and generally very sloppy. I know next to nothing about setting up suspension properly, all of the suspension is stock as far as i'm aware and i have coilovers on there, it squeaks when i go over bumps currently (i'm assuming bushes are worn out) and the brakes are 4 pot front and 2 pot rear (m spec stock brakes i think), i also have 225 tyres stretched over 9" wheels all round (getting 235's soon) my question is what should i be looking at getting suspension wise (adjustable arms etc) and what's a good brake upgrade for a 32?
  14. sama1500
    gates belts or bosch belts? can get both off ebay for a reasonable price, the rest is just cheap stuff
  15. sama1500
    I've tried running it looser and tighter and no difference, thanks I'll have a look into it
