Can Someone Id These Shocks?

[Vanilla_Rice]

I may be selling my car and will be swapping out its shocks. Can anyone tell me if these are from an R32 GTR?

Thanks.

R32GTR standard shocks, maybe standard front springs (black), certainly not standard rear springs (yellow), The standard springs have coloured dots on a couple of the coils, usually white, red, yellow or green.

thanks mate, another question...(since you seem to know your suspension)

His auction states "were fine when taken off, but unsure if they still have gas in them" What are the chances that stock suspension like these that havent been molested (ie. stortened struts or modified bumb stops etc.) would loose gas or pressure or whatever it is thats inside them??

I basically need some shocks that arent utter crap and will be fairly streetable with a potential buyer.. cheers

The standard GTR shocks are pretty much worn out over 60,000 k's and I don't think there would be many R32GTR's with less than 60,000 k's on them. The only way to tell is to dissassemble them from the springs and go through the usual checks;

1. Compress them and feel the gas pressure, all 4 should be the same

2. Compare how long the pairs take to rebound (extend) after compression, the fronts should be the same as each other and the rears should be the same as each other. The front should take longer tot fully extend than the rears as they have more rebound damping

3. Look at the shock shafts for wear and heat marks

4. Check for oil leaks around the shaft seals

5. Compare the heights of the spring pairs, that will tell you if they have sagged on one side.

6. Lock at the condition of the bump stops, if they are ground to pulp then chances are the shocks are stuffed.

7. Check out the top and bottom rubber bushes, like the bump stops, if they are ground to pulp then chances are the shocks are stuffed.

That about covers it.
