Hiya sydneykid,this be my firsty ever SAU post.Just signed up.

Anywayz I have an R32 GTS4 which is currently suspended by Skippy the Bush Kangaroo on Acid.Not my choice.Was like that when I bought it a week ago.

Sooo,what I want to know is can you supply a kit to sort this evil critter out.I want everything and I want it now.What do you recommend.The car is for road use.Will be contacting GTRgeoff for one of his HICAS lock bars.I intend to do it all once and do it right before I spend all my money misbehaving.Also if you can recommend a workshop in SE Qld that would be great.

PM on its way

:P cheers :P

Ok, so I've finally found the right thread to post in... SOrry about this... I'll learn to read a little more before posting.

hey sk...

My JIC coilovers are rattling and looks like they need a rebuild. I need to get rid of them I think. Mackay has really shitty roads, but I like a low car. Is there a setup possible for this? I like my car at a weird height - the Front slightly lower then the back (looks meaner I think heh)

Anyway, for the moment I just want to replace the coilovers because the cash storage isn't that great at the moment. Its a 1996 GTS-T so it hasn't worn many of the parts out just yet.. (pedders checked)

What would you suggest? I attached a few pics of the car to give you some idea of the height.

The measurements at the moment are (from center of wheel to edge of guard)

Back - 335mm

Front - 320mm

Hope I'm not being a pain in the ass.

What will I need?

thats cool.

Hey, do you have a recommended Height setup between front and back?

For example, my front and back heights are 15mm different (back is higher), could this cause issues with types of driving eg. Dragstrip, and daily driving?

Front Castor Kits. Are they adjustable or preset at 7 deg?? Will they only work with the Bilsteins or can they be used in conjunction with stock or other coilovers?

Gidday Mafia, this is Garys recommended settings which you can get with this kit

For the street here are my recommended settings;

Front Camber -1.00

Front Caster +7.00 (slightly more on the left to offset the drift to the gutter)

Front Toe 0.00

Rear Camber -0.5

Rear Toe 2.00 mm in on each side

For the track;

Front Camber -2.50

Front Caster +7.00 (or more if you can get it)

Front Toe 2 mm out each side

Rear Camber -1.25

Rear Toe 2.00 mm in on each side

As you can see the big change is camber, what most the guys do (me included) is to use the Whiteline camber kits to adjust the camber when they have the car jacked up to put the track tyres on. Just get the wheel aligner to mark the amount of rotation you need for the 2 settings. Then you simply rotate the offset bush for the right amount (track or road).

The Group Buy Bilsteins have additional circlip grooves added so you can set the height you want before you fit them. There are 6 grooves 8 mm apart and I can tell you the height that you will get from each groove. Keep in mind that GTSTs handle best around 350 mm front and 340 mm rear (centre of wheel to guard).

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
