Hi SK,

Your inbox is full again :-)

I just wanted confirmation that you recieved the $543 for;

BNF27Z Front stabiliser bar Adj $219.00

BNR26XZ Rear stabiliser bar Adj $219.00

KCA349 Rear Subframe alignment kit $105.00

tnx

Can anyone tell me what the ride height is from center of wheel to the wheel arch for front and back with this kit please?

Customary setting is 355 front 345 rear. You can change them to be different if you really want, but it works best at those heights.

Just make sure the bump stops are trimmed correctly.

Oh nice, same as my current tein's. My new gtr with stock suspension appears to handle better than my worked gtr with tein suspension so I want something that handles better than tein but doesn't lose the current stance it has.

Ive got a set of KCA439 rear subframe bushes... I'm looking at making the subframe bushes redundant as they are shagged out but i also want better rear traction... Should have around 600rwhp soon

Now i want to set them at "Maximum traction" but this is only classified as "reduced" rear mount compliance which "All round performance" is "minimal" compliance.

What would be the better setting?!? Im assuming "Maximum Traction" will still use the front 2 bushes more than "All round performance"?

Well I finally got the shocks, springs and front swaybar in yesterday. Then I started bucketing down rain so we knocked off (were working outside dammit). Will drop in the rear bar and subframe bushes at the weekend, then tee up with Fulcrum to do the rest of the bushes and wheel alignment.

Took the car for a good spin this afternoon and was mightily impressed. Even with the standard camber and castor settings and the stock rear bar this kit is good. Damned good. We have some gnarly roads in my neck of the woods as the local council just keeps putting patches on patches. Some of the bumps have been here for twenty years. No kidding. The Bilsteins cope effortlessly with both multiple small ripples and big bumps. Ride is firm but not nasty. I highly recommend this kit to anyone trying to make up their mind.

One thing to watch out for when ordering for a GTS4 is to check your rear shocks. My car had the rear suspension uprights changed to GTR units at some point in its life, which caused some headaches for both me and Gary as I wasn't aware of this when I ordered my kit. GTS4's usually use GTS-t shocks at the rear. So, do yourself and Gary a favour and have a look if you're not sure about your car. The standard GTS4 has rear shocks with an eye at the bottom and the GTR ones have a fork on them. Apparently some guys change the uprights because there's a greater range of stuff for GTR's. If yours have been changed you just get the GTR kit instead of the GTS4 kit.

hey SK, received kit today, thanks heaps! just wondering if it would be possible to supply my usual suspension joint with fitting instructions? sent u a pm but your inbox was full, cheers!

hey sidneykid,

got my order for a R32 GTR and i have been sent R33 GTR fronts, thats what it says on the box.

are they the same stroke lenght, shock dimention and valving as the R32 GTR, if they are thats fine. but are they the right ones.

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
