So finally got my suspension sorted this weekend. Guards were rolled on Friday afternoon so I have no more scrubbing hurrah. Dan got my suspension in on Saturday so Dad and I spent all day Saturday and till 12 today stripping out the old stuff and installing all the new gear.

Few minor problems were encountered over weekend but we got around it all in the end. The new bushes for the front camber arms went in alright until we tried to bolt up the front end of em. Couldn't for the life of me get the bastard to line up properly. Ended up undoing the back side again and sliding the bolt out one side so we had a bit more movement. Then using a big flat blade screwdriver and block of wood we ended getting everything to line up and bolted it all up.

The only other problem we had was getting the rear driver's side shock out. The f**ker just didn't want to come out, I think it was getting caught on the bush at the bottom or something. We had been trying to get it out for about an hour and a half when we decided to quit for the day, it was about 6:00pm, so when we were trying to get it all back in position the bastard thing basically fell out. Couldn't believe it lol. So we fitted up that corner and called it a day.

This morning I got up early and stripped out the other side with no problems whatsoever. Got all the new stuff fitted up and then put in the rear crossmember bushes.

All in all a good, productive weekend :D

Here's the pics, I think it looks awesome :rofl:

Good shit man nice tidy example of a 32 GTR

IMO wouldnt go lower, its a nice tidy hight where it is and you wont have the troubles of scraping on shit all the time

what he was trying to say is... i'll just let pics talk :blink: and yes let it settle but then ...

thats hotsauce but i don't think my car will ever be that slow. Its a daily driver at the moment so having it slammed like that will be more trouble than its worth.

but imagine the vagina at your fingertips...

:blink:

Nice work, car looks good, not low enough to scrape, but too look good.

Why the Bilsteins though? My car came with Bilstein coilovers stock and I have to say they were terrible, replaced them with Tein SS had a much nicer ride. Though I'd give my left nut for a set of OHLINS anyday.

They must have been f**ked, bilsteins are great shocks. Although not in the the class of OHLINS of course

    • I like it when the counter chick leads you out the back into the racks and says "have a grub around in here and see if you can find what you need. I'll be back in a few minutes. Just left me in front of a massive motorised shelving system and 2-3 million fasteners, so I could find a peculiar SS shoulder bolt with cap head. Gotta love country towns.
    • I used this https://osgiken.com.au/product/os-giken-os-250r-lsd-gear-oil-80w250-1-litre/   shut my nismo 1.5 pro up by heaps…. Not silent though. Gives the car character and personality. It ain’t a carolla. If you want silent, put a quaife in it.
    • It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...
    • I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate
    • Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
