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)

    • Latest round of updates on the car. I purchased and installed a SWS clutch slipper to help with 60ft times and got some second-hand good condition 275/40R17 Hoosier DR2 radials. Test and tune in November showed the tyres were an upgrade over my over 15 year old mickey Thompson's and I got a 1.8 second 60ft and pb et of 11.71 but even then, that run wasn't great due to rain and driver error (the event got called off 10 minutes later fast forward to the weekend just gone 25th of Jan and there was finally a break in the weather to let racing happen. The first run the track was slippery and only managed a 12.1@129 Second run the track was better and got a new pb et and mph: 11.54@131   Lith and I then worked out that I installed the previously mentioned clutch slipper incorrectly and its never been working, and I had just been dumping the clutch the entire time, we also noticed it was on street boost and not race boost. So I lined up for a third run with the car turned up in the first two gears, but the passengers side axle objected to clutch dumps and left the chat which stopped my weekend.   so there will be another attempt in the future once I replace the tyres as they rubbed and are stuffed now. but a low 11 should be on the cards.
    • Ceramic coating and heat shielding, you mean?
    • Turbos don't require pulling the motor apart so that's "easier". I would recommend the Nismo R3 turbos instead if you want to do stock twin turbo. It doesn't make as much power as the 2530s but it's only like ~50 whp off the mark and should have better response (ball bearing CHRA, slightly smaller turbo). A local that went with a Garrett G30 and 6boost manifold recently nearly burned his car to the ground after the hood insulator started melting and and burning so if you go single turbo I recommend doing a lot of research and validation work to make sure you don't do the same.
    • New rear lights, filler panel sprayed, cleaned and back together    before, during, after shots 😍
    • 100% is gyprock, I agree. Slip of the keyboard. Haha! I left my indicator bulbs out to save a bit of weight.
