Shock/coilover Reccomendations
mr_squiggle_1 replied to mr_squiggle_1's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
Im hearing very good things about these bilsteins, but are they as stiff as a set of coilovers? i have the intentions to maybe drift the car or do sprints in it in the future and from my experience with a few different silvias ive found that coilovers were the best hands down. As far as the shocks are concerned how do they improve the cars handling and how stiff and low it is? i would have thought that the springs mainly dictate this. Can i get some info on why these shocks are better, taking into account that id probly still be running stock springs and everything else for a while, would i see any improvement from that? -

mr_squiggle_1 replied to Hawker180's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
Is it a must to convert to 5 stud if you whack a turbo on a gts? couldnt you just redrill z32 300zx brakes or something to fit and leave it as 4 stud? -

Shock/coilover Reccomendations
mr_squiggle_1 replied to mr_squiggle_1's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
Thanks for your help. I have just seen that in the group buys theres only one set of bilsteins left and i wont be able to purchase anything until after new year so my chances of grabbing them isnt too good, is there similar brands that are just as good? or where could i find more bilsteins? Has anyone got any more advise which would be of help? Thanks, Steve. -
Hey guys, my 4 Door Gts R32's front shocks have just about died on me, theres a fair bit of klunking etc coming from the front. Im looking at options to replace these, and whether its worth spending the extra money for coilovers or putting some pretty standard shocks in for now. In the future i will definately be getting coilovers for the car (less than a year i guess), these seem to be the obvious choice but i havent found many sets of coilovers on the site. I have looked at Sydney Kid's bilstein and whiteline packages and wanted to know whether using these sort of shocks are better price and performance wise to say a set of tein coilovers for example. What are your experiences with coilovers and shocks and what do you prefer/reccomend and what price do they go for approximately? oh yeah and where could i find them? Also wondering whether its worth buying all four or just the fronts for now, suggestions also welcome. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Steve.

Hey guys my car (HCR32) seems to make a a ding or a ring noise when im on the highway, when im doing about 110 or so, im assuming this is a speed warning you can set into the car or something. My question is, can i turn it off? or change it to like 120 or something cos i mean driving to the coast where the speed limit is 110 is farkin annoying to hear it the whole way. Has anyone come across this before slash know how to change it? Any help would be great. Cheers, Steve :sorcerer:

Hey Guys, I need a afm plug fairly quickly as my car is booked in for a tune soon and the afm needs to be put on prior to that. I have rang around numerous wreckers but have been told no by every single one of them. I have also tried nissan spare parts to be told i would have to get the whole loom in order to get the plug... Does anyone have one which i could buy, or know of some where i could go to get one? Neil
