Either Z32 or R32 Calipers.
Dunno why they'd pull up better. Isnt that what you had on before? (in red)

Maybe the seals on the new ones are in better shape.

[Hanaldo]

Neither of them share part numbers with Brembo?

[NA_Goodness]

What sort of driving are you aiming for?

Downhill drifting through Mundaring Weir Rd

I think the biggest indication to something amiss with the Brembos was the price, but either way they look better ad stop better, so who really cares? Lol. Nice find wither way. Better then plastic covers

As Tiddy said, too much lowering will put alignment out, and Skylines have little to no adjustability camber wise leaving you in my current situation in that I need to buy adjustable camber arms (rear) and stut top thingos (front) to even it all out. Then lip the guards while I'm at it.

[Tiddy]

Rhys i know tein do the strut tops. Also camber bolts may help.
Not sure how skylines are set up but i have adjustability on strut tops snd camber bolts on the front and just adjustable bolts on the rear control arms.

How many kms have you racked up? Whens the full tune!

Nah objective for the car was to have a streetable car with a good bit of power than handles and stops well. Most intense track days it will see will probably be the RAC days that we do, maybe Barbagello if we ever organize anything.

The price of the calipers is a bit of a moot point because I got them from my mechanic, he just swapped them for my old calipers because they didn't fit on his car and he didn't know how much they were worth so couldn't be fucked selling them.

I haven't lowered my car by much so it should be ok. Maybe a cm or two.

I've done about 650kms now, obviously haven't been driving it the last few days because of all the work I've been doing to it. Will hit 1000kms pretty quickly now everything is done, but I'm back at uni so I'll probably book it in for not this coming Monday but the one after.

[Tiddy]

Ok cool.
Martin you should do no limits track nights with me at barbs in a couple of months time. Your first session is with an instructor for a little bit and if they think you are alright you qualify for a cams licence. Its not too exxy either.

By BC Racing you mean Buddy Club racing right? From what i have read they dont seem too bad.
Ultrex sells them for 2200 a set so not a bad find.

[Hanaldo]

Buddy Club and BC Racing are different brands, I've heard a lot of bad things about Buddy Club coilovers.

Yeh I'll look into those track nights with you dude, wouldn't mind getting my cams license

[Hanaldo]

I see your coilover springs are set fairly soft, plus organic clutch so im guessing straight line with normal street duties?

We set the pre-load to the minimum level, which is actually how they came, didn't want to mess with it too much as I'm a coilover virgin, don't know what I'm doing

On another note, I just bought some Recaro seat rails to suit my car. Hopefully makes it possible to install my seats, otherwise there will be a pair of Recaro rails and Sparco seats for sale very soon

[NA_Goodness]

as I'm a virgin,

[Tiddy]

Aah but now that he has a turbo...

[NA_Goodness]

He'll be getting all da bitchaz now!!

[Hank Scorpio]

Carnt was crazy enough to hand me the keys!

[NA_Goodness]

Eh? He must have been hitting the crack pipe!!

[Hanaldo]

Hey you don't change what I say! Clearly never said I was a virgin, I said I was a coilover virgin

Carnt was crazy enough to hand me the keys!

Haha enjoyed that did you? I wanted to see if you would stall it. Matty at WA Suspension did Fuck those boys are funny there haha, pity Brad is leaving Also, thanks for the balance Lachlan, car drives like a dream now! A dream with very stiff suspension, but a dream none the less

Anyway, today was expensive Bought a pair of Recaro rails in the morning thinking I don't have any other expenses coming up, then took my car to WA Suspension at lunch time to get a wheel alignment done. Turns out something is bent in my rear cradle, my toe arms were fully extended but I still needed another 12mm of adjustment. And it turns out my two front wheels are different offsets, which is why my wheels have been vibrating. Got a 5mm spacer on the right side to even it up, 3mm spacer on the left side to clear the Brembo (Brad thinks they are Series 3 R33 GTR calipers).

Then I headed to Lachlan to get my wheel balance done and get some new wheel nuts. Then headed to JPC to get some adjustable toe arms off Danny, ended up forking out $300 for some KTS after bargaining Danny down Then back to WA Suspension where Matty said they could do it for me straight away. Ended up having to wait an hour and a half lol, as they were hell busy. So Matty didn't charge me for it.

But car drives very nicely now, albeit stiff

[Hanaldo]

Oh yeh, Lachlan you're officially the first person in the club to see my car

[NA_Goodness]

Up get used to the stiffness, I've got Jap Specs on mine and I love them!
Do you still have the G-Maxs on?

[Ten Four]

My R32 GTS4 was stiff.
Absolutely totally rock solid, no give whatsoever. Yours cant be that bad lolz.

[Hanaldo]

Haha mine have 34 stage dampening control, currently set on 15 at the back and 20 on the front. When I jack up my car, both sides lift up lol. Like if I jack up the front right tyre, the back right tyre lifts up with it. If I jack up the back left tyre then the back right tyre lifts up with it.

Rhys, I love the stiffness! Bobblehead effect on the freeway But yeh, still have the G-Max's Turbo is next on the list, then I'll start saving to buy either some Wolf S36/S37's, SSR Type F's, or

I was spinning the tyres in 3rd in a straight line today

Here's a pic of my exhaust that I got while the car was on the hoist at WA Suspension:

[Ten Four]

Farken sexy exhaust. Looks identical to one on the 32

Rims > Turbo...

[NA_Goodness]

You love the stiffness? I'll stop now...

That exhaust looks awesome! Exactly what I want

How did the wheels not give you issues before it became turbo??
