double post opppps

[esky_mad]

do your best to stay clear of justjap (JJR) suspension parts/or parts that have to have any movement in general.

[Roy]

Just stick with std arms with good condition bushes and if needed get the Cusco upper arms and tension rods. Easy to get too fancy with suspension and end up with a bastard of a thing to get handling

[Let Me Drive]

roy when are you back in town would love to have you over for a beer and a chat

[Rowdyr32]

I'll pm you the good info and am with Bris! To much money gets wasted in wanky susp for club cars.

Just copy my car. Has nothing to fancy and does pretty well for what it is. Cusco fixed upper arms 3.5deg, adj Cusco rear uppers, tien castor rods and whiteline swaybars with bilstiens. Get the fronts for about $250 secondhand, rears prob $200. Swaybars $500 new. Castor rods $150ish. It has never put me in a bad situation. You having never driven a gtr hard it going to take at least prob 10 trackdays before you even begin to understand how to steer the car let alone touch the susp.

Better than putting $5000 susp in your car you can't understand. The extra trackdays you could do with the money you saved would be more benifitial. I don't get how so many guys do one track day with maybe 25 laps in groups of 3 laps where ther car only does 2 fast and then say they need to take the car to the workshop because it doesn't handle right. They prob haven't even learnt how to drive the new setup! Don't get caught in the cheque book racing.

Sounds good rowdy will take yours ands roys advice and stick to basic first then with time change things when needed

[Z1LLA]

Looks like a great build up mate, will be good to see another R32 GT-R out at track days soon

[BBGTR]

I was talking to your Dad at the Aust Supersprint Champs about this, it sounded good when he said rotisserie!

I have the following suspension on my R32 and it will run 47's at the Island no problem....

Front:

Nolec Adjustable upper control arms - unfortunately I don't think these are made any more, but worth a look

Cusco castor rods

Whiteline 24mm Front bar

Tien RE shocks that have been revalved

650 lb springs

Rear:

Tune Agent Upper control arms and traction rods - mostly for easy adjustment and to replace the old factory stuff that is about 15 years old

Whiteline 22mm rear bar

Tien RE shocks that have been revalved

~450 lb springs I think

The HICAS is still in place

Nothing too over the top and have found all parts bullet proof after 5 years on the track and about 10,000 road k's.

thanks bb will look in to that as well.

it seems what i should do is upgrade all the bushes and bearings and just go minimal on the set up to start.

[Roy]

I am backl tomorrow, will have to swing by and look at this animal and download all my ideas

[Let Me Drive]
