R32 Suspension Mods Install

[jakez88]

i need a place or someone who knows what they are doing and have done the installs before properly!

i have these to be installed:

- 4 shocks and springs

- tie rods and ends

- hicas lock bar (and disable hicas bulb if it comes on)

- will need alignment

i just want someone experienced with skylines as i'm more worried about the hicas bar being properly installed as i have heard so many stories of people ending up with hard steering or no power steering at all. also the fact that i just have the bar and bolts and nothing else needed to reroute the power steering fluid or whatever you gotta do.

also when this is all done will need a alignment as i imagine the alignment will be shite.

anyone know a place or someone in the western suburbs that can do these for a decent price?

thanks.

+1 for the hicas bar...were did you get yours from jake? (the bar how much?) maybe for suspension go jax across the road from target old geelong road i got my front castor bushes done there..

[jakez88]

oh yeh how much they charge man?

got the hicas bar from ebay for like $80 but its jsut the bar itself and the nuts and bolts.

some places sell a complete kit with hoses and everything you need to install it properly but cheapest i seen was $150. which actually isn't too bad.

Careful with the bars... there are some dodgy lockbars getting around that crack/stress around the welds.

Have a good inspection of it before putting it on, especially painted ones that attempt to cover it up

I've heard of a few cracked ones lately so must be semi-recent or people are taking a while to realise

For any suspension work, id reccomend Chris at Centreline Suspension in Thomastown highly! My skyline and previous car have gone to them, as well as about 5 of my mates cars and everyone has been 100% happy with their work.

yep agreed.. Chris is great, I have no issues with any of his work and trust them with the cars completely, they're very careful with the cars, no fanging it around half of melb or anything unlike some places.

They've been in the racing industry for years, so he has great advice too.

And yes you will definately need an alignment

UAS also have some hicas bars in chromoly.. or u can try sending a PM to GTRGeoff but I'm not sure if he is still selling them, I'll have to ask him.
