My front shocks on my R33 are basically shot through. So i am looking to replace them on all 4 corners. I dont want to spend too much but i want something a bit better than the factory setup which handles fairly ****. :confused:

SO

What prices am i looking at to get some decent shocks? Also might put some lowered springs on at the same time depending on price.

Have looked at the whiteline website and the sports pack sounds good but i think i want something a bit under $1500..... what prices am i looking at.

What are pedders prices like?

Wilkinson Suspension in Bayswater.

Agent for King Springs , Whiteline and a host of other.

Can custom build and is used by a lot of wanners guys.

tell him that Ken with the GTR's sent you and promised a good deal. Ask for Peter or Dale

Ken

For the right advice from someone who knows what they're talking about rather than a salesman AND the best price in town see Wilkinson suspension.

Ask for Peter tell him GTR Ken AND Chris R34 sent you:)

Again, I would say Wilkinson, I recently had some Bilstein Shocks installed all round and matching King Springs, made a huge difference to handling, cost me $1290 installed.

Daniel

Ahh, let me see $1290 or $1580 for the same thing. Hmm that's a hard decision.....

Ken

PS Don't get me wrong, Johns a top bloke and I bought my Simmons from him but Wilko is a suspension specialist

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 馃
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
