You can choose your ride height with the Bilsteins - have a read of the suspension sticky above (at least the first few pages!)

I have Nismo badged Bilsteins. I have eyes front and rear you may have GTR type forks on the rear?

My part numbers are:

Front Nismo 56110 - RSC45 ENP

Rear Nismo 53210 - RCS45 ENP

don't want coil overs anymore want to go back up the mountain again with the stagea lol,

so bilsteins get the tick but by the sound of it no one has purchase them from them new . has anyone heard of autocourt i believe the dealer in vic is ???

the rsfours has forks rear .

I received mine last week from Quadrant Suspension, waiting for it to stop raining so I can fit them. Part numbers are BE5-2589 Rears, BE5-2590 Fronts. Look nice sitting in my lounge room, wish they were on the car, come to think of it, so does my wife!

Regards Craig

I have fitted them from new. Sydneykid supply. Forked rears

Had extra 3-4 groves fitted feront and rear, but cant use them as fornt platform hits the supsension arm and rears hit the tyres if too low. In saying that I run at approx 320-325mm ride height anyway. Fairly low.

I have lowered Kings springs as well at approx only 4 KG

Fronts are R33 GTR fronts, rears are r32 GTR "fronts" installed upside down, as per Sydneykids recommendations

(I think that is right)

I find the combo fairly harsh on rough roads (Brisbane has plenty on 80km round trip every day)

ok nice thanks guys

what prices are people paying for bilsteins ??? does quadrant suspension have a website ?? dont forget i live in lovely tassie lol

craig do u have fork rears aswell ? any pics ??

I fitted non adjustable Bilsteins front & rear to my 33 some (5/6+) years ago now with the standard factory springs, and found them firm at first but over the years have got used to them. Good thing about them is they are rebuildable from Quandrants in Victoria. I paid approx $1100 for all of them back then. Good value as they are still going strong today. :thumbsup:

    • It's unfortunate what Tomei USA has done to Tomei's name in general. I'm very weary of ordering parts from them now. I only order direct from a Japanse source (e.g Nengun). At least their logos are different, so you end up knowing what you have. 
    • Update Issues 5 (plus #4) - 10 After making a claim about issue #4's missing part, DeAgostini Japan sent a whole new issue #4 and it arrived about 2 weeks after that. That was back in early March. It took another 4 weeks to receive issues 5 - 13 though. This update is for issues 5 - 10. Ove the 5 issues the front left suspension and most of the engine have been completed. The quality of the castings and fit of the parts is quite good, it seems better than DeAgostini's BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the Fast & Furious 2 movie, which (to me anyway) doesn't seem to have as tight tolerances or quite as accurate castings.  Each issue has a lot of info about the 1989 - 1993 Skyline range and other Nissan models from that era, but the focus is on the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo and the various racing it did in Japan, Europe (Spa 24hrs) and of course Australia. I've included some text translated with Google Lens in some photos and will add to them if there's anything worth including. 
    • If it's for a SR20, make sure it's not the American Poncams, might as well call them Poocams. Had a set in a friend's car, all scuffed up after a few track days. Like the metallurgy Tomei USA used is junk. Went back to JDM OG Tomei Poncams, no issues till now.   Tomei USA is not the real OG Tomei.   Random rant over, fk the US of A, bunch of c u n t s. 
    • Most of the industry in North America either runs on Siemens or Allen Bradley. I have two redundant S7-1500's on my desk right next to me for simulation. Siemens has been losing ground though since Stuxnet, as cybersecurity is a big thing. In my line of work that is federally regulated, you must by law have a cybersecurity management program in place and its audited and inspected every so often.  I work with Emerson PLC's daily (RX3i's) and have done large biogas/refinery projects with their DCS's. Their PLC's are somewhat OK minus the way they do PLC redundancy (You have to download on both PLC's separately every time you make a change )  As for their DCS's... you'll be limited financially first before anything else stops you. Costs are exorbiant at roughly 10x what it would cost you to do with any other system (e.g AB PAC).  1990's, those suckers are brand new haha! Kraft-Heinz (An old client when I use to work for an ESP) still runs Siemens TI505 PLC's from the mid 80's. Ohh how I don't miss working with those... you could only do a certain number of online downloads until it's "Change" buffer would be full and you would then need to go offline to do a full download. There was no warning of when this was coming up and it generally would happen when you would go in at 2am to make changes before production -_-.
