Hey All,

Im in a dilemma,, I need $1400 to get parts to fix my TEIN suspension...

Do you think this is the way to go,, or to just get all 4 new coilovers (G4 Racing ones from just jap) ?

What i need for my TEINS is front upper pillowball mounts (cause mine r rooted and make loud knocking noises), also with labour and some bushes...

Seriously thinking about the G4's .. anyone got a set of em? or recommend other coilovers for roughly 1300-1400 ??

cheers,

-JD

PLEASE PM SK with your problem. He just put in new bilstein shocks in to my existing coilover casing, matched to my springs (which werent too hard, yours might be). It will cost you more, but dude, its seriously worth the dosh.

JD Give www.shockreco.com.au a call and see what they can do for you.

They are in queensland but they were the only ones in australia that i and many workshops know of that do recodition,id say all brands of shockies,back to their stock specifycations.

I sent them through australia post to Queensland,as well giving them the return p/h monies up front so no dilemmas in sending it back asap.

Worth a try.The price i found was reasonable also.

Thats where my shocks were rebuilt... BEFORE they went to how they are now (which is worse, the owner changed). I suggest strongly you speak to SydneyKid before handing your money over, ask him about my shocks, what was in there, and what is in there now. There is just no comparison. I can go round corners 10kmh faster now and with less effort, and tyre stress. That and those shock reco fellas only give a 30day warrenty on coilovers >_<

      Yep that's pretty much what I want to see. Racecars that look and sound like the Group A but with newer tech underneath to make them faster and safer. I'm sure there's enough VK-to-VN commodore, E30 BMWs and Foxbody mustangs shells around to make up a decent number of cars with hopefully a couple of sierras, rx7 and R31s in there too.

      Contact Jessestreeter.com/Skevas Racing/JustJap for a new r34 rb gearbox or go a cd00# conversion. No point playing with unknown condition gearboxes.

      Such a shame places like Amaroo Park have been redeveloped, smaller tracks always make for good racing. Cheers for sharing @PranK there's some good Lakeside video's too. Its so hard with older the cars as parts are so rare and everything was made for a particular chassis at that point in time. Even the V8 Supercar Blueprint era cars are all different between each chassis within a team as they learnt things and made improvements. The COTF cars between each Chassis builder is different too especially motor/oil systems/intakes. The Group A stuff is worth so much too especially chassis with good history. The only way to do it would be composite panels and similar engine drivelines to the original cars. Ford sierra running Focus RS driveline, Commodore running a short stroke LS/LT or a Falcon with coyote and a H Pattern dog box. Could use a standard ecu across all models with a Torque Map and DBW for parity which is not even used in Supercars currently. Hell a TCM is almost a full chassis car these days and the suspension is not even close to standard style in the front running cars.

      Wish someone would start a racing series for Group A replica cars, a bit like Touring Car Masters but for 1985 onwards and not grandpa's falcon and/or Monaro. I know they race in some historic class but that's for original cars, no replicas allowed.
