Hi guys,

I'm selling the bilstein set-up on my GTR. It's been a great set-up for road and track but I'm stepping things up a notch now with some more hard corey suspension. They are height adjustable via circlip retained spring platforms. They are in good shape with no leaks or problems what so ever. A compareable kit would cost around $1600 and up new. I'm asking $1100. No pics as yet as they are still on my car, but anyone is welcome to come and take a look (sydney, lower north shore) and they can be removed with a days notice. Also anyone who looks at my trader rating I'm sure would know that I wouldn't over sell any of my parts. They are tip top.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought that the coilovers from Bilstein were custom made to fit the right car?

Would they be able to fit a R33GTST? Or are they only setup for GTR's?

Cheers

Hi aquariuz. Unfortunately I dont think they will fit 33 GTST. From memory GTST use an eye style set-up on the bottom shock mounts all round, where as GTR use fork style on the rear. I think nissan desinged things this way to stop people using GTR parts on GTST :( Either way, you are right, they would not be perfectly suited for GTST anyway.

Hi Ecenshu, not 100% sure on the exact rates but can check them once they are out. From memory they are 6K front and 5K rear. These were not from the sydney kid group buy. and I can assure you the valving in them is lovely :laugh:

update. new suspension arrived yesterday arvo, so the bilteins will be out and ready for postage/pick-up some time next week.

if you are after a good, proven set-up for your GTR then dont miss out as these are a bargain at $1100.

well since you asked, I'll let the pics do the talking. Nismo G Attack R-Tune branded Ohlins. 4 way adjustment. all alloy shocks. remote canisters. 600 different levels of adjustment per shock... etc. the holy grail of GTR suspension... lol

haha, this has now turned into the Beer Barons new set-up discussion thread! sorry guys, but I must stay on topic.

Bilsteins are coming out this coming week. So anyone who is looking for the gun set-up for their BNR32 GTR can snap up a bargain. These babies really do perform well above their price range. I'm still sceptical if even the mega $$ nismo/ohlins will be any better around a track.

well bilstein removal has been pushed back a week while I get my new stuff dyno'd before i fit them.

anyone who is in sydney and serious about buying them could probably pm me and we can arrange a time for you to come and see/feel them working in the car before I whip them out.

Hey Baron - are these still for sale & also do you have the part numbers for the dampers (eg B46-1672 & B46-1673 or similar).

    • My extinguisher mounted like this unscrewed a little (Maybe from the chair sliding forward) and dumped a bit of white on my mats. I'll need to get a more narrow one for future.
    • I totally couldn't do the whole kids taking up my life thing! 😮 I find it bad enough doing 45 hours in 4 days, and then fitting normal adulting life into the other 3 with no kids! As for my mates race cars, they're AMG C63 setup for production racing. The original is what has just been stripped and a brand new shell built. The original is then going away to have some panels straightened, then it will be put back together again. Then there's a third that will shortly head off to have a roll cage put in, then build it up too. And potentially a fourth to be built too... Oh, and he has two Renault Clio D class production cars, ha ha. And when he's not racing them in the Australians and QLD production championships, he's been racing one of Chaz Mostert's Lamborghini's in GT4. They just won GT4 at the 12 hour in the Lambo. We're pushing to finish the new AMG as it has its first round (and potentially its first shakedown/outing) in under w weeks for Round one of QPC, and that round is really the shakedown to make sure it's all good for the Bathurst 6 hour, which I'll be at too. Ha ha ha Working on my project is different to his, I slowly tinker and work ways to make things happen on a shoe string budget. Hes in a good position that he has a massive workshop full of parts and tools, ha ha. He also looks after me. When his air compressor died, he just needed it working, so bought himself a new one and gave the old to me. Sand blaster unit too, and a 20t pressing. And pretty much all the shelving in my shed too as he upgraded all of his (the stuff he gave me is the expensive black Bunnings heavy duty stuff)!   I enjoy working on his stuff. No decision paralysis, and anything that's needed parts wise is just there. Plus, then I get to be hands on at the track in real racing, not just club day stuff.
    • I know which one I'd prefer to have in my garage, and which one I'd actually drive as intended
    • Yeah mate, no probs. Just swap the email addresses?
    • I definitely agree with you there - I never click on content for cars I would never ever be able to get or compete with/against/be seen next to. Seeing a MX5 compete with a FD RX7 will make people upset though, for sure. Even in 2.5L Turbo form which is pretty grass roots. (or at least as grass roots as classic cars can be) Yes we're all classic car owners now.
