Im selling my used Bilsteins off my R32 GTSt. They are Whiteline Bilsteins with rear Whiteline springs, and King springs on the front. Have travelled approximately 70-80,000kms. No leaks and visually appear to be in good condition. Were removed and visually inspected at 60,000kms point, shocks found to be in good condition, front springs were replaced at this time.

Upgrading because ithe car on semi slicks at the track is simply too fast for what is effectively street suspension. Was planning on putting new higher rate springs and rebuild, but brand new shocks have fallen into my lap and will be using them.

Can no longer drive with in car as they were just removed...happy for them to undergo any imspection before payment. Testsament to Bilstein quality was the caer still drive well with them on the street or when on road tyres at skidpans and motorkhana work.

Updated price

Asking $450 ($90/shock, $45 per pair of springs)

having taken a trip in the car in question I can attest to the fact that it rides very nicely, and handles very well. for the little doers out there the bilsteins are an amazing upgrade for the money. you wont get anywhere near this kind of suspension performance for this money.

For $1000 i will throw in custom adjustable Whiteline Swaybars, 27mm front and 24mm rear. As is, this setup is good enough to on the right tyres lap tracks quicker then majority of rwd track cars. Great power down even with 250rwkws.

Yeh, happy to split.

A few pics with different wheels. Essentially the ride height is as per the Whiteline recommendations for ride height and is entirely legal, even with a HKS Hyper exhaust hanging under the car.

This one will give you an idea of hte body roll with smaller swaybars then i currently run. (ie has less bodyroll with the swaybars im selling in the above post)

LOL...what are they worth then? Since new Bilsteins are arounf $1200 then you need springs which are about another $300, i thought my price was reasonable. Have two seperate prices for rebuilding these at approx $125-150 each. So could be an option for someone wanting to use them as a basis of a custom/tailerred setup, (as was my plan)

Hi Roy,

Not sure if you got my PM from the other day, i don't mean to come across pushy, but I'm pretty desparate for those rears if you've still got 'em. I left my mobile in the PM, or you can email me here: [email protected]

Cheers,

matt

A few ppl have shown interest in just the rears. if you post up and between two people can find a home for both ends then i will split the suspension up. Hoewever without a guaranteed sale for the all four shocks i will be very reluctant to split.

The fronts will also fit an R33 GTS25t if that helps.

Otherwise im going through one of my fits of annoyance with parts i haev laying around. So if you want them...make a reasonable offer

Still sitting at the mechanics so havent been able to get the pics sorted....but offers? The verdict is the suspension is not faulty, just that i was asking too much from what is effectively a street setup that works well on the track with street tyres. Throw semi slicks and 160rwkws and some decent enough track times and it was a bit out of its element, though can be revalved to suit such as application for about $150 a corner and new sprinds at around $600

    • Oh yeah forgot to also mention need to also unplug the IACV as well. Thanks for the reminder @MBS206 Unplugging the TPS takes it out of closed loop so you're able to screw down the IACV without the ECU trying to add/subtract timing to maintain the idle (not sure PowerFC can even do this, but Nistune and the OEM definitely does)
    • For sale is my 1999 Nissan Skyline R34 GT-T, tuned to 234 kW / 313 hp. I've had the car for a few years as my daily driver. The car is original (as far as Skylines go), with only a few minor upgrades to enhance performance and driving experience, as typical for such a car of its age. Overall, it is in great condition with no body rust, thanks to its earlier import date. It features a top-notch security system (not literally, but it's great!) with remote start and still functional 4-wheel steering via HICAS. It comes with several performance and handling upgrades, including:     Hypergear 450HP Turbocharger running 17 PSI boost, installed mid-2021 by Jaustech     550cc injectors     Nistune ECU     Front-Mount Return-Flow Intercooler     X-Force Stainless Steel Exhaust     Upgraded engine mounts     Bottom end bearings replaced     BC Coilovers     Lenso DR1 rims     Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin RE003 TL 245/40R18 97W tires, fitted early 2023 The interior is mostly stock, with a few additions:     Viper Satellite Tracking System with remote start     Bluetooth Double-Din Touchscreen Head Unit     Steering wheel cover Cons:     A few paint imperfections here and there     Driver’s seat shows more wear than the others. It's not torn at all, but I've added a seat cover to protect its condition. I also have a CarVX Vehicle History report available for serious buyers, so you don’t need to purchase it yourself. Price: $26,000 ONO.
    • I've had two suzukis in the past have an extremely hard time turning over and not starting after sitting for a few weeks. Ended up the alternator would seize up causing the starter to force. Same issue both times.  Maybe they're sourcing their alternators from the same place...
    • Ah right. Maybe my rb just loves chewing through batteries lol.
    • On the R34 can't you just unplug the IACV? This is the way I've always done it on the R33. Disconnect IACV, get it idling around 650rpm, and then do a power reset on the ECU to get it to relearn idle (factory ECU).   The big reason no one has touched on as to why you'd want to get the base idle right, is that it means the computer needs to make smaller adjustments to get a good idle at 700-750rpm.   Also, cleaning the IACV won't normally make the car suddenly idle lower or higher. The main issue with the IACV gumming up is that the valve sticks. This means the inputs the ECU gives, aren't translating to changes in air flow. This can cause idle choppy ness as the ECU is now needing to give a lot of input to get movement, but then it moves too far, and then has to do the same in reverse, and it can mean the ECU can't catch stalls quickly either.
