(I've already posted this in the NSW section, but thought I might get a better response here)

I'm looking at getting my suspension looked at (potentially replaced) because it squeakes badly - There in nothing wrong with the ride (albeit a little stiff) But the noise 5hits me.

I've had it all out and apart myself, lubed to up - But the noise came back.

Any one recoemend a place in Sydney ?? (I was thinking of Pedders)

Cheers,

PS - It's Tanabe suspension in an R33

I have to say Whiteline out at Minto did a sensational job with my car. I now have their works package.

With stock boost and I/C, only filter, cat back exhaust and falken 451 tyres i was lapping Wakefield in 1:15 and EC in 2:01. with me being nothing special behind the wheel. At Wakefield that was just on 4 sec improvement. (I think about 0.5 to 1 sec goes to driver improvement over the two occasions)

Car still very streetable as my car is still a roadcar, and there handling kits with just bushes, and swaybars made a lge difference in my handling, and is pretty cheap, although i couldnt stop there i wanted the Bilsteins etc.

Has anyone got anything bad to say about Whiteline, i havent heard ay negative feedback, i found their price, service and after sales support excellent.

I always go to Whiteline for my suspension stuff. They did a good setup on my Commodore a few years ago (bushes, front strut brace, and f/r swaybars fitted) and recently sold me a good set of Bilsteins with Whiteline coils for the Skyline.

They aren't perfect though, their swaybays look kinda flimsy (but better than nothing) and the upright connecting rods on the swaybars were very weak on the Commodore and bent easily but they might have fixed that design flaw by now. Other than that they're streets ahead of any other suspension place I've been to. When I can afford it I'm going to get their swaybar/bush kit for the Skyline.

I wouldn't go to Pedders, they're over-priced. The same Bilstein/spring setup from Pedders would have cost me $200 more if I bought it from them, obviously not Whiteline springs but something similar. And their labour was about $30 more than Whiteline for fitting it (I did the fitting myself anyway so saved a couple more hundred).

    • My fob has never worked, I once attempted to follow the procedure to re-key it, (I have other fobs for the car alarm thing in there). I actually have three of them. Do aftermarket alarms take over the pairing mechanism for central locking? Or do they piggyback off it? I suppose it depends on the system, right? I have four sets of keys/keyfobs. One definitely works, one I think works, one definitely doesn't work, and I have the OEM one that has never worked :p. Is this fixable/workable/whatever? I mean I know it's beyond "just clean it" but how *do* they get synced up?
    • It's actually a really weird comparison... the MX5 is on another level and I kinda question this comparison at all. It'd be closer to compare it to a GTI/Golf/Hatch anything that kicks around. NC MX5 with a turbo has the right to go up with and beat the FD RX7 or 180SX or any other JDM hero car. That's the comparison that would really ruffle feathers.
    • @MBS206 you need more shed in your life... What sort of car is your mates race car?  Hopefully he returns the favour when you're ready to get cracking on yours! None of my mates are into cars so I don't have to worry about that as a distraction thankfully.  I have enough other distractions so I don't need that one too!  Between working 6 days a week (5 1/2 really so 55 hours or so per week), both kids have basketball almost every week night (including Friday night in Melbourne - 2 hours away), my daughter plays netball as well, my sons footy has started now and I coach his under 14's side as well as I'm on the Footy club committee this year, I ride motorbikes every spare Sunday I can find, plus trying to be some sort of a husband.  Life is a busy little exercise at the moment!  I wish there were 8 or 9 days in a week sometimes!
    • Ha ha, that is very true!  I'm too scared to leave it in the position though, it tingles my balls seeing it like that!
    • Which one did you buy? I have always wanted a decent inspection camera but have been unable to tell whether something is cheap junk or cheap junk chunk sold at just a bigger markup
