Dad & Son Build R32 Gtr

[mad-mk1]

nice build, very thourough .

what colour you painting it?

the cage is awesome, very nice workmanship!

[Let Me Drive]

the car will be painted winfield red

[Silvia GTR]

Nice mate! Does your old man like imports?

[Let Me Drive]

yeah he does he owns a R33 GTR

[central coast person]

What about Whiteline heavy duty blade adjustable swaybars front and rear with the link kits. Swaybars feel better than ungrading suspention! Also change all the bushes and strut braces. Pretty sure thats 2 grand well spent there. You would only have to do your links after that but to get all the links done cost well over 2 grand because there are so many in skylines.

Build looks great

[Let Me Drive]

i agree about the swaybars but thats another part we will look at in a bit, we are reco'ing the front and rear subframes and attached so why they are out time to change all the old stuff and get new adjustable stuff lol

[SimonR32]

you should be able to get some adjustable castor arms, rear camber arms, whiteline subframe bushes and swaybars for around 2k if your smart

car will be 100% better to drive

[Let Me Drive]

yeah thats what i thought. i have heard good things about the JJR stuff

[SABBAi]

Scotty you just like them cause they're red!!!

hahaha

Looking good anyways.

[Roy]

If you are looking at swaybars wait a few weeks until i get back to Melb...got a great idea for you to try and will be far better then anything you buy from Whiteline

A nice deep red GTR is AWESOME! I have always looked at Hyper Rev mages and LOVED the occassional red GTR you come accross. 80% of the time they used to have white wheels, of late they have had black wheels. All look amazing.

[Let Me Drive]

no probs roy will speak to you when you get back, but other then that what do you think of the above items they come in around the $800 mark which i think is good

[Roy]

Shoot me a PM with email details.

Are the JJR suspension arms made in china?? If so i would personally steer clear just as i would the chinese brakes when it comes to components that are a safty issue I would personally steer clear of anything from china. Not saying that thay are a bad thing as I have no personal experiance with them but dont take chances with anything suspension or brake related. Good luck with the build mate is coming along nicely.

[Let Me Drive]

thanks man, i understand what you are saying but justjap say they are good and they have not ever let me down so i thought i would try them out but still open to what people whould get

[jazzy_j]

Mate there's nothing wrong with the JustJap suspension control arms. We've had no problems with them. The only ones I'd steer clear of are the front upper control arms you have pictured. I had them in my road car and broke the locking clamp on one side which let the arm flap around and bent the other side about 30 degrees. I'd actually steer clear of any front upper control arms of that design. You'll need to get some of the slide type arms or fixed shorted arms as they are much stronger.

[dazmo]

No doubt just jap are going to say they are good as they sell them so they are hardly going to say anything else!!. Dont get me wrong I am not saying that they are not good as I have no personal experiance with them though I would agree with the above post about the upper controll arms as that design is known to be flawed and will definatly break is not a matter of if but when.

I personally would go for IKEA FORMULAR suspension gear but the cost is prohibitive for a lot of people but in my opinion the IKEA stuff is by far the best on the market. Personally if I was not useing the ikea stuff i would have custom fabricated arms in chrome molly and sourced the spherical joints locally as this could be done by any good fabricator or by yourselves if you have the right equipment and necessary fabrication skills and would give peice of mind in regards to quality of materials and workmanship. In my opinion you should never make a decision on parts that have a direct bearing on saftey based on price that is just my 2c worth. And as i stated i am by no means saying that the Just Jap stuff is no good as I stated I have had no personal experiance with them but must say I am always suspect on china parts.

[Let Me Drive]

i do agree with you dazmo, i wont use shit parts, from reading lots im not going to run the upper arms just get the standard ones that are shorter. for the other stuff they are strong and much better then standard and we think this is what we are going to go for . you never know when it comes to buying them i might splash out and get the best just have to see what the funds say when the time comes.

thanks everyone for your input it does make me have a better understanding of what i should do.

please keep it coming the more different ideas i hear the better choice i can make
