so he revalved the R33 ones? if so how were they still at off the shelf prices?

Yeah they were. I think they were still off the shelf price or even slightly cheaper than what heasemans were charging at the time- not 100% sure though I as didn't buy a set of the 33's to know the price difference.

exactly, i was asking how they were still at off the shefl prices if they were revalved?

Valid point- I don't know the answer. I think revalving cost him bugger all with the amount of work business he was sourcing through bilstein.

I had a detailed discussion about it with him and a few other cars at the time. I also know the guy that actually builds/designs shock absorbers at heasemans who is also a member of NSCC. Jono was the suspension engineer of the autosalon drift car. He speaks very highly of Gary. He also built my coilovers- I just purchased them through Gary.

lol i just realised ive been dealing with heasmans for the last few weeks to get my bilsteins revalved, i was just calling them sydney shocks, its only when u said jono worked there it kind of clicked as he's the guy that did my shit.

to give an idea, mine cost me around $400, and trade was like $80 less or something, so how he could sell them for even close to off the shelf doesnt add up for me. for the record i only paid $50 for my shocks so was about the same cost as newies anyway, just with custom valving.

ouch, now i know why i was told to play with konis for rates then when sorted go bilstein innards, almost three times the price... think i will leave ones til they blow!

    • Hmm. Yes. I should have been clearer. 1000s for Haltech, for extra headroom. 725s for Nistune. You might even be OK with 640s, but if the possible power ends up much more than 300 rwkW you will run out of headroom on the 640s. That would probably be OK and a signal to not push it to that sort of power with Nistune anyway. At that level you probably do want to be thinking about engine protection functions. Oh, and all of that presumes 98 only, not E85. Well....the 1000s would allow you to run E85 at ~300rwkW territory, again, maybe sort of running out of headroom. Hard to tell with E85 - depends on the tuner as to how rich they like to set it up.
    • Yes.  The only scenario I can imagine when the answer isn't yes, is if you drive like there is highway patrol behind you at all times.  If your car currently runs, enjoy it and keep saving. Better costs more, keep saving until you can budget the better ECU. It's worth it.  Nope. Plenty of us making >300kw on unopened motors. Mine is unopened and makes about 350kw if I turn everything up, its fine (lots of caveats here, how the car will be used/abused, how long you expect the engine to last between rebuilds, how has the engine been maintained prior to coming into your ownership, etc etc).   
    • Sorry just wanting to clarify, at this power goal, which should I be going? Also, More info regarding suspension, the rear upper camber arms were used to get the camber back to i believe around -0.5 ~ -1 degree (@ Road and Race in Rydalmere), I forgot the exact figure, but ALOT less camber than what it came originally which was like -2.5degrees. Are the traction arms still recommended? The bilsteins from SydneyKid, they've got 400lb/in fronts & 275/in in the rear, revalved to his specs. Intercooler, I'm just having a look at some on Rakuten.jp and some other japanese sites. Might get something from back there, GReddy, Blitz or HPI, all crossflow. Looking at roughly $450-$500 AUD + shipping... Theres not many choices except that chinese branded Justjap unless you go for blitz return flow. Yeah, only downside with Haltech is the price ahhaha, so expensive, and with all the sensors if I go that route... $$$$$ yeesh. Are headstuds/gaskets needed for <300akw?
    • Haltech fanboi reporting in. Buy the Haltech! 
    • You can try shoving a borescope down there to see what's up.
