Suspension/handling Specialists....


Recommended Posts

Hi..i'm wondering if anyone can recommend workshops and mechanics who know their stuff on fitting and setting suspension and handling setups, i.e coilovers, camber,castor, toe fitting and settings, for skylines?

Anywhere within about 30kms of brisbane.

Any info will be greatly appreciated~

Thanx~~

i won't be using mercury again for any of my work, but each to their own. However, if you do use them, get someone independant to check after they're finished

I use Shaun at Goodyear Strathpine... great guy and pretty switched on, does top work etc.. he races an Evo in some form of rally so he know a bit about what he's talking about :D They're also a Fulcrum Queensland dealer.

Thanx people fer all the info...fulcrum? do they do tests on used coilovers? im basically getting a set of used coilovers and wanna run a test on their usability, and also if there is any leakage and other problems before buying and installing them at the same time. Will these tests be expensive if they are available?

Murcury are not suspension specalists, they get all their alligment / set up work done down the road at fulcurm, they are quite happy to fit suspension parts though. In my opinion it would be better just to go to fulcurm in the first place.

Accurate suspension. Timms court :)

They seem to do good work, just I think you need to say I want this. Not ask them what you need.

Other than that try and track down Scotty, I think hes over redlands way now.

Actually they go to quickfit on enoggera road (the one next to the mobil).

Or how about www.shockreco.com.au. They can rebuild anything. I had my standard struts rebuilt 2 weeks ago and couldn't be happier with their work.

Not since Scotty left, I wouldnt go back there.

Not knocking their work, but hold on to that reciept, and check those shocks on the 29th day after the work was compleated. Rebuilt coilovers apparently only have a 30day warrenty.

    • So we have most the interior back in, and for the first time with one OEM speaker hooked up. The 31 is running, driving and now tunes!!! Hahaha yet another step for the sub that sat 10m under for two weeks!!! unbelievable really 👌 lots of love work and not giving up on her. Seen so many youngsters part way less, and in way better condition. I’m stubborn, thinking another problem is just a hurdle to overcome, One at a time. IMG_9277.mov
    • That is correct. I'm using a modified ABS ring and a ZF speed sensor on my rear diff for speed input. I'm running a Haltech ecu. 
    • Been busy with the newborn. We originally thought we were going to go for a third, but we're good with two lol. He's starting to actually sleep now so I've had some energy to work on the car. It's been parked away in the garage since late November due to winter.  I went ahead and redid all my head oil drains. I originally had my front and rear head drain going into the same pipe but have since split them up. I also added an Ethanol content sensor to get ready to run E85 this summer. Tossed it on my return line. Sensor sits nicely under my intake manifold.    I also have a lot of parts that came in for my rear end. I'll be swapping over to a 3.3 final drive and doing the GK teck anti squat mod. While the rear subframe is off, I'll also change every bushing. We're planning on buying another house soon with the condition that I get at a minimum a 2 door garage, so I'll wait to have more room for this. Now onto the strange things that recently happened... After changing the lower rad hose (It had been sitting in my cabinet for well over a year and was the last hose I had to replace), I let the car idle in the garage to bleed my coolant. After running for a few minutes, it started missing. Got much worst within a minute or two and then stalled and would not restart. My crank sensor decided to crap itself. No damage, no explanation, just died. I went ahead and replaced it with another ZF sensor but the heavier duty stainless model with a shield. Tossed that in and started right up. Has anyone else seen this? I hate when things fail without cause. Luckily this was a blessing in disguise... This lead me to recheck my timing. It seems I may have had a beer or two the last time I had set my TDC angle as I was off exactly 5 degrees... I miscounted a line haha. I was running 5 degrees less then commanded. It's a little embarrassing but helps explain why my dyno operator seemed to think I should be making more then 478rwkws.        
    • Sharing results from recent Liberty Walk R35 GTR, since they are still considered as somesort of a V36 Skyline. We do them turbos too. This are high flowed SS-1 models with ball bearing conversion done.  Car have managed to pull 485awkws @ 20Psi so far pushing limitations of factory built engine. The build list for R35 GTR enthusiasts as follow : HyperGear high flowed stock turbos in SS1 (G25-660 specs) Custom titanium intake pipes. Vspec performance titanium front pipes. Vspec performance 4" titanium exhaust. Upgrade fuel pumps. 1200cc injectors. Ignition coilpacks Hks intake plenum. Hks intercooler piping. Greddy intercooler. Greddy bovs. Top-secret coolant reservoir. Emtron ecu. Straight E85. Built gear box.  
    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
