Have you bought stuff from him?

The price is great! $1165 delivered for BC BRs :woot: .. Thinking of ordering them on Monday

Yeah got mine for that price off him a couple of weeks back! Good to deal with too!

I am going to sell my old R34GTT Teins for $400 as the rears need seals/rebuild (quoted $195 a side through Fulcrum) so if someone wants a cheap set of coilovers PM me, they are coming out this week.....

i got my bc brs delivered last week from streettotrack as well, he has good communication. took a month to get here though as the factory had a large back order or something, but once they were sent it only took mine 4 days

Yeah yours was caught up in the same batch as mine, at least his communication was good throughout the delay :thumbsup:

I have had BC BR's on my R34 GTT Sedan for about a year, very happy with them. After eons of research I went with custom rates of F:6kg and R:5kg. Turns out these work very well on all types of normal roads in Victoria. In fact, I would rate these over the Yellow Koni + King Spring combo on the Monaro that was over twice the price of the BR's back in the day. I'm running the BR's with bigger swaybars front and rear, a Whiteline camber kit and alignment by Trutrack.

Oh yeah I got mine from JustJap, they sent me the wrong springs at first (stock 8/6) but didn't muck around getting them swapped for the custom ones. I also got a very recent build date on my coilovers, maybe another reason to order with custom spring rates?

can anyone tell me wht type of suspension is on the sedan r34 gtt ? is it the same as the coupe or different?

Same as the coupe as far as the mounts go, just make sure you get the correct type for the rear though (fork for RWD GTT, eyelet for RWD GT, I think 4WD is eyelet too).

However, the weight distribution between coupe and sedan is different, which affects your spring rate selection. Ideally you'd want the car corner weighted before choosing your springs. I didn't, just went with F:6 and R:5, on the assumption that there's a bit more weight in the rear of the sedan.

Quite sure I made the right decision going for these.. But I saw a 33 at my painters shop with fully adjsutable HKS system (probably worth 12k).. *droolll* lol ..

Apparently hes gettin a motor for it from US as well. Gaurds have been widened and a roll cage is being installed.

guys i dont know if i am thread bumping or something but i came across this coilovers which are quite cheap. i have had their springs in my dc5 for quite long and they have given me good service.

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/200745050312?ru=http://www.ebay.com.au/sch/i.html?_sacat%3D0%26_from%3DR40%26_nkw%3D200745050312%26_rdc%3D1#ht_2930wt_960

but i realise that the spring rates are 10 in front and 8 in the rear.will that be a problem becasue i am a noob in suspension knowledge.and i also dont know what spring rates the stock suspension has.

any help regarding this will be really appreciated.

From what I know lowered King Springs are approximately F:3.7kg and R:3.1kg. These are stiffer than stock suspension, which means that stock is even lower than these spring rates. I personally would only consider 10/8 for the track. What kind of roads do you normally drive on?

Pricewise, ~$800 delivered is a good deal for coilovers - you can't even really get new shocks & lowered springs for that kind of money. However, BC's are about 1.2K so not that much more and there's lots of people running them successfully. Up to you.

    • Update: I got the magnet out. I bought 3 different flexible magnetic reach tools, but none of them worked. The magnet on the tip was all less than 2lbs of force, so i had to buy a special cylindrical magnet that had a pull force of 9lbs.  The magnet finally came in the mail yesterday, so i got under the car to get to work. The super strong magnet isn't that long, so i only have about 1 finger pinch lengths to hold it. I was so scared when i was going in the hole, that the 9lb magnet would just fly away inside the oil pan never to be seen again, but i had my butt cheeks clenched and finger gripped on that thing so tight, i managed to get it to suck the other magnet out.  It was a victory for me last night.         
    • Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!
    • Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.
    • Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃
    • You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position.
