Hi,

I have Koni adjustables on my R32 GTS4 and also have my suspension lowered,

the ride is very rough and rigid (good for the track but not the West Suburbs) :)

I am getting the suspension raised slightly but also want to put some better

shocks on it and need your advice on what you think provides the best ride

in a 32.

Opinions are great - as so far I've heard too many opinions from people

who don't know too much about 32s.

Thnx :D

Probably more the spring rates that have been used :D

Could be you need something a little softer in the front and rear and you will be set.

Mine is like a rock, kidney bashing everything i get into it!

Give Ralph a call down @ Tru Track Suspension.

He is in Nth Melb, helped me a number of times.

often overlooked but check your tyre pressure

if its mega rock hard you can try loosing some pressure

30psi should be soft 35psi should be good all round and 40psi will be rock hard

you might be able to find a comprimise

I personal have taken my car to CentreLine Suspension (Thomastown), refer to my sig below for details. The guys there are great and have taken good care of my car.

Personally i would recommend a set of Aust delivered Tein-Supper Streets. That's that i have recently purchased and with the limited use i have experience so far (car has been off the road for 10 months), they are far better than the other two sets of coil-overs i had in the car.

I'd recommend some TEIN FLEX coilovers, great for street use and moderate track use.

Plenty of adjustment and won't cost you a great deal. People have commented how well it rides compared to other brand coilovers.

I am currently running a set in my R32 and have had no issues since installation.

Feel free to come around and have look if you want to get an idea of what they are like.

You will always get a bumpy ride with lowered/harden suspension.

As Abu said You can try a set of Tein Flex cuz they have the damping force which is adjustable to give a more comfortable ride.

I have CUSCO Suspension in my R32 and the ride is friggin hard. It's lowered with a front strut brace and I also have a Flow Brace in the middle of the car which makes really stiff.

i've got koni shocks and king springs in my 32 GTS4 too. I don't know the spring rate as they were already on the car when i bought it.

I've just had Centreline Suspension lower the platform adjustment on the Koni's to the lowest setting which is still very user friendly IMO.

Has anybody actually been over to Toperformance lately? I went there about a month ago and it looked like it's changed into some regular mechanic garage?

      Installing the fuel sender O ring in R34 GTT

      Wish I had this advice when I did my pump. It went in and out 3 or 4 times, and on the last time it snapped.

      Tried them, they leaked. I also foolishly bought some random rubber ones that leaked too.  Genuine and not looked back.    As always though sample size of one, and I could have made a mistake installing them.

      Shit job but not hard. I'd use a piece of wood to knock the plastic lid open to avoid damaging it, use a vacuum to clean up the fuel sender lid also so crap doesn't fall in. I'd probably do pump and filter at the same time since you're already in there, I reused my OEM sock after a quick clean since the one provided wasn't long enough. Could also hardwire your pump if you feel inclined.

      Supercheap auto sell this: https://www.supercheapauto.com.au/p/pat-plusquip-fuel-tank-lock-ring-tool---universal-kit/SPO3564082.html I own this and if you HAVE PATIENCE you can remove it without snapping lines and generally being incredibly angry, then said at doing this job. Sadly I've removed the pump about 75,000 times over the years. I don't know if you're a large lad or a smaller lad but my advice to you as someone who is 185cm is if you are my height or smaller, is to sit in the boot and take your time. Yes you can put the seal on. The seal goes over the white thing/lid (you will see how it 'slots' in) then the whole assembly presses into the tank. then you screw the lock ring on. I spent so much time doing things the wrong way by trying to mount the seal into the tank first, then putting the white fuel hat on in the space provided. Put it together first then it'll all go in. But seriously be careful about removing the hoses AND where the removal tool is moving relative to the plastic pipes coming out of the lid when you've removed it. IT IS BRITTLE So brittle in fact I have two spare lids, and would recommend buying a spare and having it handy before attempting to do this. May as well throw https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD in the tank as well, as this uses all stock plugs and such. You may need to/strongly recommend you re-use your OEM fuel sock or use the one supplied with a length of hose so it sits at the stock height.
