Hi guys,

I've got an R34 GT-T with a stock suspension setup and over the last few months the ride quality has been going from bad to worse and now it just feels like the car is falling apart when going over any bumps at all, not to mention the majority of the shitty roads around melb.

All I can hear these days is the boot rattling around like the rear wing is going to fall off and now the front is starting to sound quite bad too.

However, I took the car to Pedders in Hawthorn and got a 28 point check done and they said everything looks fine.

They said the stop boots (not sure what they are?) are a little worn but nothing to worry about overall.

They also said the shocks were fine and didnt know what was wrong.

Anyone have any ideas? I was thinking about replacing the setup with some coilovers perhaps, or maybe getting some bilsteins and spings from the SK group buy. Does anyone think replacing the stock stuff would cure it....or could something else be seriously screwed?

Any help is greatly appreciated....this is driving me insane! Nothing worse than your car sounding like it has arthritis and rattling all over the place over minor bumps :-(

Either: 1) Take it back, take them for a ride, SHOW them what your unhappy with.

OR

2) Take it to a Skyline specific mechanic who (hopefully) has a braincell under their hat and knows the car better.

Wouldnt trust pedders personlay, had some bad experiences similar to yours. Take it to a specialist

+1 with this dude.

not sure what your trying to say, but yes, take it to a specialist. Up here in brisbane i like being looked after by Fulcrum (suspension guru's)

      Excuse me for butting in....but which part of ADHD can be considered a superpower? I would have though it far more likely that some ASD comorbidity is more likely to be contributing to an ability to hyperfocus on something. ADHD being aimed somewhat in the other direction. My shed looks like your shed. My whiteboard list of unfinished projects has entries going back 15 years. I know what you're talking about - I just struggle to connect ADHD to the results being discussed.

      Thanks for reaching out!  It's a blessing and a curse at the same time.  I'm undiagnosed but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see it in me... I have more half started projects laying around my house, shed, garden, etc taking up space and money, destroying aesthetics than if I added up all of my mates projects together. But, ADHD gives me the ability to hyper focus on things that no mere mortal could even  comprehend.  A recent pool build is an example of that....  I dont know anyone else that would be dumb enough and focused enough to take on then complete something of that magnitude. I call ADHD a superpower but it can equally be completely destructive if not controlled and focusedon the right places. Addiction is a major concern to ADHD people and thankfully my addictions have been no worse than projects, XBOX, chocolate and being an arsehole! It's often hereditary and my 13 year old son is currently learning how to drive it at the moment. Keep lurking! If i can finally finish this bloody thing at some point it will be a win for all of us ADHD'ers! 🤪

      I've been quietly following this thread for ages, but this one got me. Since my ADHD diagnosis (and associated learnings and prescription) I'm way less inclined to wade into forum yarns when there are better things to do with my time, as half the time I'd end up in some kind of forum debate even if that wasn't my intention. I've not lost the ADHD "superpowers", just am a lot better at directing my hyperfocus into slightly more constructive things, but haven't stopped quietly lurking in here in my spare time.

      Stripped the tank down and gave it a good scrub. It came up really good! Not sure if I'll just put it back in like that or give it a blackening treatment (such as Bowdens The Black Box). That might give it a matte look so might just run it as is.

      @MBS206 Ha ha, yeah ADHD is a daily battle to not get drawn in to doing things you want to do that you know you shouldn't do!  Every single time I walk into my shed I end up doing something I started the day having zero intention of doing! I keep mentioning the 1 step forward, 3 steps back scenario and I'm tipping people that are blessed with ADHD (yes, blessed) are the worst at that!
