Hi All

Matt here

To Anyone who could not get through, I am now answering PMs and all questions for Gary the best I can. With the new business extremely busy, we have been flat out, however gary is off on Holidays to the USA next week for 5 weeks. This does not mean that sales will hault, as I will personally be looking after all sales and enquiries from this point on. For anyone with more technical questions, there are some I can assist with, but any that I can not will be forwarded to Gary.

So please, PM me (I will check the GB threads when possible, but PM is best - I will supply an email address and a phone number for me)

Cheers

Matt

so the settings on the first page are just for a road kit right? what about the track settings?

also, which parts are suitable to compliment existing coilovers?

As per previous post...PM me man!!

I'll answer anything.

Track settings - Need details on the car, what's in it, what you wanna do

Again - what do you have? What do you want from the car? Budget?

PM me, I'll give you my email

Thanks Matt/Gary,

I know I ordered at a bad time, so I had to wait. I got my shocks, bump stops and covers. Measured it today before fitment and got 335mm front, 340mm rear. I will raise the front one groove. Should make it handle better, more comfortably and give me some more gutter clearance. We'll see how it goes in practise.

I had no idea it was THAT low....guard is still about 5mm above the tread.

Thinking about it I assume that raising with short springs gives a limit to the suspension and could cause "topping out", if you know what I mean- when the other wheels compress.

Edited by simpletool

Put in the front shocks, and raised by one notch (now on 2nd top notch). Car sits about 1cm above before, is much firmer when braking and turning while also being very much more comfortable over sharp bumps. Overall feels firmer, but you don't have to whince when a road join comes along.

Overall it did what it says in the thread. Happy.

Yet to put in rear shocks.

btw 345mm at the front seems really good, springs must be some Jap spec ones that came on the front of the car.

i've had the shocks, springs and camber kits in for a couple of days now. has made a huge difference. however i did notice that while it soaks up the smaller and sharper bumps, the larger ones set me bouncing a lot, esp if there are more than a couple in a row. oh and also if there are ripples/bumps etc in a corner it tends to bounce my back end out. is this normal? i've never had am suspension in any car i've driven and i dont think its a setup prob cause it was installed by centerline in vic

    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
    • My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
    • The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.
    • Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
    • Thanks Paul I reached out to Autotainment but they no longer work on JDM cars as the guy who used to do the work moved on and is no longer doing that kind of work. I am talking with Level Up Audio though.
