king springs & bilstein shocks. The kit I got is basically a copy of the Sydneykid group buy that was on here awhile ago apart from the king springs instead of whiteline springs. I got it all from Dan at Elite Racing Developments. Have a look on SAUqld if you want to get in contact with him.

Cheers for all the comment guys.

Car looks good, I like the hight. Yeah my vote goes to bilsteins. Quadrant suspentions set up alot of the 32\33\34 GTR's that do the targa Tasmania, so there always worth a chat to if you want Bilsteins.

Ps the best mod I ever did to my GTR was to buy a $700 carolla. Worked out that due to running costs of the GTR the carolla payed for it's self after 3 months. Plus now my car is always clean and there are no more dints from the shops!

Dan at ERD got all my gear for me. Had a problem with getting the rear shocks as they were back ordered so had to wait for more to be made. Chuck him a pm on here or on SAUqld and I'm sure he'll be happy to help.

Dad and I installed it. Its fairly simple so to do just read all the instructions and double check everything lol. It took us from 8 - 6ish on Saturday and then from 9ish - 12 on sunday to get everything fitted up properly. If your not confident doing it yourself Dan can fit it aswell or any other suspension place really.

Good luck with it let us know how you go :(

Apart from the fuel consumption I think they're an awesome daily lol :P I drive through the mountains to get to work in the mornings so its always entertaining :huh:

Great pictures Colin, looks good ay, and how is the handling now, have you pushed it into some corners yet?

Whitey

Handling is fantastic. Its not too firm so its still comfortable as a daily driver and it feels so much more responsive now. On the stock suspension the car had a bit of body roll and you could feel it wallowing around in the corners. Now its just really tight and level all the way through. I haven't gotten close to the limit driving it yet but its fantastic

I'm really pleased how it all turned out. Would recommend them to anybody looking for an upgrade in their GTR.

Sorry about that. The best way to contact him is through this email [email protected] or go on to SAUqld website which is www.sauqld.com. His username on there is Elite Racing. I can't remember what it is on here.

Cheers

      Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.

      gauge needle removal

      I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want.

      R33 GTST Axles

      Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue.

      R34 Speedo not working after manual swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder

      Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia front end... *Edit: On closer inspection the test car still had the R32 body, but only the front end had Silvia panels etc.
