Ye I had the same difficulty when I was trying to find dust covers. I ended up getting Pedders one, they work ok if you like bright red! haha. As far as bump stops I also went to Nissan and they were quite expensive. Maybe keep a eye out on here for people selling used shocks cheap. So did the Bilsteins not come with bump stops?

I was going to say we know how oil changes viscosity due to a temperature change (e.g. engine oil) could this be happening in the shocks as well? As the temperature drops it gets thicker and doesn't work as well. Although you would think the engineers at Nissan would have taken that into account. I haven't heard of this happening before though. Have you had the car in winter before?

Ye to change the shocks/springs is pretty easy. 1 bolt down near the hub and two up the top in the strut tower/engine bay. Does give a bit of a kick when you knock it of the bottom stud thing. Front sway bar is also pretty easy I just needed to remove the castor rods which were 3 bolts total from memory, and then remove the exisiting one. These two things were a good introduction to installing suspension products yourself.

Ye I agree. It would be good for you to notice the difference each modification makes. Try without any handling mods. Then I would probably start with the basic first e.g. a good coilover set (or sepatate shock/spring combo). Then some sway bars, castor rods, pineapples, etc etc. You will be amazed at how some of these mods affect the car. Something I have always wanted to try.

Ye my shocks were leaking as well. Made the car horrible to drive. I wouldnt waste my time trying to fix the standard shocks (if you even can) as they are pretty cheap to buy second hand from wreckers or often from here. Suspension shop really should of told you. Im sure they noticed it!

+2 for bov. When my mate put his atmo bov on it ran like crap and would pop around. Took it off and problem went away. In general most skylines owners I have talked to don't like the atmo bov's because it makes the car run funny.

+1 for the TEIN springs. I would advice against touching the shocks. You 'can' chop the springs if you want but not sure of the ride quality afterwards, if you do be careful how much you take off! For $300 I would just by some lowered springs. If you look around you could probably find some second hand ones for a bit less.

Umm why the hell did that just post 3 times.....sorry people

I think the best solution for what you are after was if you get some progressive springs made up (if your worried about the stiffness you can still get aftermarket ones that don't increase the ride stiffness that much) and get the Bilsteins re-valved to suit. I bought some TEIN springs and I think they are progressive and they are only slightly stiffer than standard and give a good ride comfort.

+1 for oh dear lol

+1 on wiper blades! So much better getting new ones in the wet

Ye I would the same thing. If you look at the majority of the designs I found them to be quite similar. There might be differences in the diameter, some are hollow I think, etc but if you just doing general driving then it shouldn't really matter. Some of the wreckers have used 'expensive' ones. Might be worth a look.

ye again I think it depends on the condition of the pads. If they look like there in good condition e.g. no scratches, chips etc then I would put them on.

Ye as mentioned your standard suspension is most likely worn (well some of the components anyway). Mine started doing that, getting really jelly like when going over bumps etc. One day I took the wheels of the car and found most of the shocks leaking! Just take the wheels of and have a look around for anything suspicious. And as mentioned if you take it to pedders and they do their safety check and state what is worn, that way you can check it.
