Suspension

[Wasabi32]

Hi Guys,

I have an R32 GTsT. It has height adjustable Cusco coilovers all round. I have one problem though. The drivers side front shock has decided to die. Completely.

What advice would you give? I am thinking of replacing both sides of the suspension to even it out. I have no idea on price. Can anyone give me ideas as to if I can replace both front shocks with Cusco stuff, or if I should just replace the entire suspension setup with maybe something from Pedders?

I was told that no other shock but Cusco will go into the suspension now. The verdict from a Canberran suspension place was that I need to replace both front struts and may as well do both shocks as well. His suggestion was that I get him to build me a custom coilover setup for around $3600-$4000. (!!!!!!)

Hope you guys can help.

For starters stay away from Pedders, NO BULL.

Do some research and find some one who will service your struts, It can be done and you will be better off in the long run.

I can't help with anyone to do it for you, but if my Nismo struts fail I will get them kitted if it is possible...

Can the Cusco struts be regassed/serviced? Thats another thing I was told by "Canberra's top suspension" guy. He said they cant be re-gassed/serviced.

I don't know, however they are a top brand so they should be serviceable. Have you tried searching the internet for this?

The car was built by Denzo at JMS in Adelaide. I have just sent them an email asking for their advice.

I have checked out the thread you suggestewd and I will definatly be looking into these guys in QLD.

However, the only problem I have with that, is that I have no idea about cars. So I would have to take the car somewhere to get the suspension taken out to send it up to QLD. Then once I get them back, someone to install it all for me.

(I'm pretty sure I could talk some of my psycho drift mates down here in helping me pull it out and put it back in). Either way, will let you know how I go!

Cheers!

Im no suspension guru, but struts? Skylines use wishbones, not Macpherson struts, so if you dont have struts, why would you need new ones :confused: Is it a terminolgy thing perhaps?

mmm, id be getting a second opinion, unless the "custom" coil over setup is a high range Bilstein / Koni etc coil overs with adjustable rebound/dampening then id say stay away.

Also its a run of the mill R32 GTST, why do you need "custom" anything? Plenty of places where you can buy off the shelf local susp kits or import Jap kits for far cheaper.
