Im getting my rims this week and lowering my 34 is a must, how much i want to lower depends on what they look like with the tyres but maybe people with experience can help me out. My rims are 19x9.5 at the rear( cant remember what tyres were exactly, will i need to roll the guards? I know coilovers are better choice but are springs ok? Anybody recommend places in W.A? What should I pay and are they easy enough to install myself?

Sorry for soo many questions but saves me asking straight after lol Cheers!

Depends what offset they are for both your spring/coilover question and rolling guard question. 9.5 should fit though with the right offset. Im getting 9.5 on my r32 with just lowered springs and ive had to roll my guards. Ive had 10's on the back before that sat flush with the guards preventing me from lowereing. Im on stockers at the moment.

If ur budget concience and dont wanna spend the $$ on coilovers, check out Sydneykids suspension packages. Cant beat it bang for buck. Check out the FS section. Doing just the springs is no good for factory shocks, u will eventually need to replace em.

You will find that if you lower the car more the 340/350mm front/rear (from centre of wheel to guard) you will greatly increase tyre wear and greatly reduce handling. You have been warned!

As above, check out the SK groupbuy, goes like a zirtek!

Yeah as above, measure your height from center of the wheel to the guards...350 to 340mm is probably the optimum height without sacrificing handling and tyre wear.

Make sure you get a good wheel allignment after fitting ur suspension. 9.5s on the rears are fine with offsets between +35 to +40

Can anyone send me a link to Sydneykids suspension packages? It seems like it doesnt exist except people talking about them on forums..

    • Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers    
    • Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.
    • Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
    • I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
    • Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
