wondering if anyone can help me with my dilemma.

my rh front suspension is rogered on my 32, sits 15mm lower than the left. dunno whats caused it, no local suspension shop wants to touch it.

plus its a good excuse to spend money on my car :devil:

i use the car as a daily, was just wondering what everyone thinks whether i should go for coilovers or just change to a bilstein setup. i eventually would like to get into track work a little more. should i bite the bullet and get coilovers, or will bilsteins or the like do for the track?

HSD HR 1600 or there abouts and p1ss easy to install.

been in my 32 sedan for a while now and i love them.

Be prepared to replace bushes and such after a while as stiffer suspension puts more stress on other components.

yeah bushes would be the next step, especially if i dont go with coilovers.

i can get them cheap thru work so thats not a hassle. :devil:

Hey mate,

The question is what is causing it to be 15mm crooked? Which side is low, and is it front and rear?

Have we (WA SUSPENSIONS) had a look at it?

If you want track type work, then coilovers are the way to go for adjustments etc.

i personally think the springs have been cut, they guy i bought it from liked to cut corners and im still going through the car fixing stuff. and correct me if im wrong, but ive been told that cut springs can loose tension, or something along those lines.

its just front right, everything else appears to be ok. no you guys havent had a look. did speak to you last week bout a price on teins tho.

If only the front right is low, and the back is level, when you level the front, the back may go out.

Cutting springs is a bad idea for many reasons....and yes it could easily cause the car to be crooked.

Happy to take a look at it if you like.

You dont have to go coilovers. Im sure we can find a package/setup to suit your needs and budget.

Cheers

    • Welcome Jan, It's very likely that you are in over your head. You'll just have to learn to swim hard and fast! These old rust buckets have more ways to bankrupt us than almost any other car. But hopefully there's nothing wrong that ruins the whole show! We can help a fair bit. There's plenty here who've been fixing these things for >25 years. cheers
    • Hi all. First off, thanks for reading my post. So end of last season I put the car away knowing I was leaking at least two fluids. One of them being rear turbo's oil. I went to my car recently that is waiting in a garage to take a peek with my boroscope to try and see if I can narrow down the souce of oil before taking it out of storage. What I found is not so great I think. The rear turbo is (probably) leaking from the oil drain. The hose and it's clamps are probably the original ones, so most likely just worn out or loose. However I spotted a line of rust going straight down from the turbo oil feed, as if water leaked out of there at some point. Also explains the red liquid that was dripping from my front subframe, which I initially thought was power steering. I can even see coolant drops hanging off the side of the oil pan as well. After a quick hit on the web I found a select few discussions about porous engine blocks. My question is if the pics of the turbo oil feed and the left hand side of the block (imgur link below) looks like it could be exactly that to you. Maybe someone in the community has seen it before and knows what it looks like. If it actually is a porously leaking block, has anyone attempted at fixing it with simple methods like putting a sealer in the cooling system and using something like jb weld on the block surface, or will it just leak in 2 weeks again? I could not find any detailed info or pictures on this topic. If I need a new engine, tell me softly. https://imgur.com/a/knVvmZ8
    • Hey all. I'm 23 and from Germany, September last year I bought a mildly modded 1995 GTR Vspec. Looks great and was fun so far, but I already have a list of issues of various severity that I need to take care of, potentially growing longer the closer I look. I just hope I'm not in over my head, I really want to keep the car and work towards it becoming great. I hope y'all will help me out in getting there, I am positive I will need help sooner rather than later to figure out how to proceed. greetings, some pics of the car I posted to imgur. https://imgur.com/a/StKkabz
    • Would be interesting what the price would be without the barracuda wheels. Looks like he dropped it down to 40k. Maybe his mate wasn't correct about the 50k evaluation. Has always been a dream of mine to own an auto 33. Looks like I'll have to keep saving my pocket money or ask mum for more pocket money.
