Dangerous To Drive

[niran]

Hey guys.

i have a Nissan Skyline R32 Gts-t series 2 , i bought the car couple of months back and had no problems with it however, after driving for about two months the car started to kick a bit over bumps in the rode, also the front right suspension bottom's out over bumps.. any way so i thought id just take it to Pedders Supsenion to get a 28 point check. they probably aint the best place but just thought id see what they said.. as stated above they said it was DANGEROUS TO DRIVE!! i have got the 28 point susp. check sheet thease are the following problems that they have stated.

Front

Shocks: L/H SHOCK LEAKING

Sway bar bushes: R/H SWAY BAR LINK BENT AND BUSHES DESTROYED

Tie rod ends: R/H VERY WORN

Upper bushes: VERY WORN

Steering gear: RACK MOUNTS, RACK BOOTS, AND RACK ENDS WORN

Radius Bushes: BUSHES TORN

Tyres: BALD ON INSIDE EDGES

Rear

Shocks: L/H REAR LEAKING

Bump Stops : DESTROYED

so i asked them how much it would cost and they said $2000.00 including labour , however i thought its better i ask here. and see what people come up with as to what can be done, and also if any one knows the prices of the parts above and how much it should come to.. i was looking at putting in tein coil overs, and white line sway bars and a cusco strut brace. however if there are better products on the market for the same approx price range then im open to ideas.

any help would be much apreciated.

thank you very much

Let's go though it one by one

Shocks: L/H SHOCK LEAKING = a new shock will fix that (try the Group Buy http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/-t85591).html

Sway bar bushes: R/H SWAY BAR LINK BENT AND BUSHES DESTROYED = you will get new bushes with the bar but you will have to either straighten the link or order new ones with the bar.

Tie rod ends: R/H VERY WORN = new tie rod ends, Just Jap or equivalent in your area.

Upper bushes: VERY WORN = front camber kit will replace them

Steering gear: RACK MOUNTS, RACK BOOTS, AND RACK ENDS WORN = not unusual, but it depends on how worn they are

Radius Bushes: BUSHES TORN = front caster kit will replace them

Tyres: BALD ON INSIDE EDGES = once you get the aliognment right using teh camber kits you won't be wearing out the insides of the new tyres.

Rear

Shocks: L/H REAR LEAKING = ditto front

Bump Stops : DESTROYED = very common on R32's thses days, they are getting on. You should order new bumps tops with the shocks. Coil over kits come with them but the Jap kits are usually far too hard for our conditions.

Whats "aite"" mean?

You can go the teins for sure but for sure but too get the really decent teins its a fair whack of money ($2300++)...

I just picked up brand new set of bilsteins for $660 (rrp $1200), so if you look around you may be able to do the same, then you have some decent shocks atleast...
