Hi Guys,

Went to fit pineapples in my R34 GTT at Traction Tyres on the weekend and was told i needed to replace the following:

"Front caster bushes leaking, Front & Rear tie rod boots split".

I was wondering if someone could point to me in the right direction of parts to replace them with.

I have tried a search but unfortunately could not find the information I was after especially with the tie rods.

I have had a look at the whiteline website and saw the following but not sure?

For the caster bushes: KCA 331 http://www.whiteline.com.au/product_detail...t_number=KCA331

For the tie rods? I wasn't sure? These? http://www.whiteline.com.au/product_detail...rt_number=W0206

In addition if there is anything else worth replacing that may as well be done to save labour costs let me know.

Thanks in advance!

hey bud,

if you want to do a complete suspension overhaul here is the complete christmas wishlist;

Shocks - ~$1200

Springs - $600

swaybars adjustable - $225 each

hicas eliminator (if req) - $220

Castor Bushes

Radius Rod - $120

Front Arm/Camber - $170

Rear Arm upper/Camber - $145 x 2 you will need

Subframe - $130

not too sure of any good suspension/steering workshops in melbourne, but you may have some luck if you have a gander in the suspension/tyres section, you may find some places

all the best with it, and as always, report your findings and experience with whoever you go with so others can benefit off the feedback!

    • Hey, it's me! Though honestly, if I had 20M in my bank account tomorrow, I would not want to be rid of my car all of the sudden - Which makes me think this is money stuff, not "I actually hate car" stuff. I'd probably double down and buy even more trinkets and fun things for it. If this is not you, then sell it cheaper. It will sell at a certain price after all.
    • This is the LCA mount reloctaion kit. Self explanatory in its description. https://au.gktech.com/products/s13-180sx-r32-subframe-anti-squat-reduction-weld-in-kit?_pos=62&_fid=1e812d392&_ss=c These are the alloy subframe bush inserts that I am using. I like them. https://au.gktech.com/products/rear-subframe-slip-in-collars?_pos=29&_fid=1e812d392&_ss=c Alternatively, if you have original and shitty bushes, you might consider outright replacement with poly. https://au.gktech.com/products/polyurethane-rear-subframe-bushes?_pos=28&_fid=1e812d392&_ss=c I would also higly recommend that you look into adjustable RUCAs and tension rods, so you can sort out the camber and bump steer behaviour, especially if the car will be any more than ~15mm lower than stock. I would also highly recommend the GKTech FUCAs, although you really should do some research and learning on the subjetc of R32 FUCAs before making any decisions. All of this will be criticaly difficult to get through a TÜV inspection too, if that happens to be relevant to you. Note that if you do install the relocation kit, you will absolutely have to replace the associated bushes with spherical joints (you can read all about that on the product page) or upgrade the LCAs also.
    • I picked up my block and head last week and have been slowly assembling it since then. Pictures I took earlier this week. The rest of the auxiliaries are on now. I just have my intake manifold runners to tap for my WMI direct port setup before putting it back on. I should hopefully have the motor back in by this weekend.
