I currently have 4 guys with Buddy Club suspension in their Skylines that I am supplying softer spring rates to in an attempt to get them some ride comfort.

The Group Buy thread is the best place to start

i read about half hte thread, and i just wanted to make sure before i went and spent 450 bucks on sway bars

r33 GTR do bolt up?

Im going to be getting the cusco 24/30mm adjustables

[captinsane]

I might be picking up a gtr rear cradle, susp, brakes, all of the above, really cheap too... I'll let you know how it goes...

what do i need to know in order to convert it...I have a bunch of mechanic mates up here with all the tools and probably all the knowledge i need, but i would love to discuss it with someone first. Take full advantage of the SAU collective wisdom.

I assume i will need:

mod certs afterwards

GTR rear end without HICAS for donor parts (which models are these - i assume it's the 34 only)

will the GTR rear driveshaft fit? or should i use the Stagea one?

I will PM Cruiseliner and SK

Hi Nick only them who is doing it?

[GoldZilla]

I thik they're the official contact for TEINs in Australia.

I suppose a fair few suspension places would do it, but seeing as I'm not in Melbourne, my info might be useless to you.

Has anyone here just replaced thier stock factory shocks with another set of standard ones. Although I would love to buy SK's whiteline/bilstien setup in the group buy I have just spent so much money on the car this year so far that I just can't justify anymore at the moment. Most of the bushes have already been replaced with whiteline ones anyway (by the previous owner) and with the new nismo kit bringing the car down lower anyway I don't have any intention on lowering it at the moment anyway. So I just want to replace the clapped out stock shocks with another set of stock ones. Basically just after prices and opinions from anyone thats done it. Recomended brands etc.....

New standard Skyline shocks cost more than Bilsteins last time I checked. The standard shocks won't have the valving to control lowered springs (check out this thread http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...=103158&hl) plus they will wear out pretty fast. Which is probably why your current (standard) shocks are stuffed.
