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 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.

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
