What's happening with the car?

actually i still have her.
just had the engine pulled out and refreshed, full major service, replaced everything, deleted hicas, spent bit stacks of cash.
soon to get new coilovers and do all the bushes. i want to have it drivable at any time and its been dormant for so long it needed to eat some money

 

[CRSKmD]

Soon to be super fresh with all the new little touches parts you’re making!

[GH05T]

im not sure what coilovers to go with. the fact that im just going to drive it every now and then and its not gonan do fast work im thinking just BCs?

 

[r32-25t]

BCs are usually known for being pretty stiff, mca have a budget brand they make now and might be worth looking at 

[GH05T]

ill do the bushes too, just do all of them i guess, unsure on how much to budget for that, that might dictate my coilover spend

 

[r32-25t]

I replaced every bush with white line in mine and was the best thing I ever did. I also rebuilt the factory diff with the nismo plates and that made a huge difference as well 

[GH05T]

yeah im going to be much ...happier and setteled driving it now i know the engine has no suprises . then having everything nice and tight and new in the geometry, steering suspension, then new tires, refresh brakes and then ill look forward to a future paint job. but yeah having a car that just drives correctly without the increased chance of lunching an engine.


i really should consider new turbos through................rinning stock 🙁

[robbo_rb180]

What's the end goal weekend cruiser/daily?

100% do all the bushes with whiteline rubber not other brands urethane. 

MCA are the way to go, yes more expensive but ride quality is better and support is great. Been running their x-r purples (current pro sports model) for 7 years no issues and do a lot of street and track driving. Even big 2800km roadtrips on shit roads it rides better than my 370z. 

I look at it this way takes say 4 months to save for cheaper ones then you don't like them then need to save for another 6 months to replace them with MCA. Better off waiting an extra month or 2.

[The Bogan]

Definitely spend a little more on your suspension, even for a daily driver, or actually more so for a daily driver with less than perfectly flat roads you'll want something that handles well, but is also compliant when hitting pot holes and rough roads (basically every street and Hwy in NSW at the moment)

Also don't go too stiff with your bushings, and if possible avoid pillow ball joints for less NVH and longevity of your suspension 

For a street car/cruiser, you'll thank yourself in the end 

[GH05T]

does anyone have the hook  up for bushes or MCAs?

[CRSKmD]

I would suggest taking a look at Shockworks over MCA's

but same idea much better suspension can give you a nice comfy ride AND a firm track setup. Instead of just being lower and stiff like BC,HSD, ISC etc
