Hi guys,

For sale here is a full set of Bilstein Shocks to suit R32 GTR or GTS4.

Valved by Sydneykid a few years back, they have done maybe 15000km while on my car and have been fantastic; but now its time for some more serious coilovers which is the reason for sale.

The shocks are circlip height adjustable with a few settings, fixed dampers. These are fitted with Japanese RSR Racing springs, with around 7kg up front and 5 at the rear.

This package is a great setup good for street as theyre very comfortable, great for track, motorkhanas and even great for drag, very balanced. They give VERY GOOD WEIGHT TRANSFER! Something very useful for GTRs.

This shock and spring combo has been extremely competitive during their use:

11.56 1/4 mile on 245 street tyres with 300kw in full street trim

1:40 around winton on the same tyres, power and standard brakes, used only with whiteline sway bars and adjustable front uppers set on about 2.5 deg

1st place in a DECA motorkhana event, same setup

So these are a great bolt-in package which will really improve the handling of the car without the useless and silly harshness of 'racing coilovers', harder definitely isnt better for a GTR that sees all kinds of use.

No knocking, no noise, nice and firm, no leaks.

Asking $800 ono

Located in Melb, no problems freighting.

Happy to take serious Melb buyers for a spin if needed, as theyre still fitted to the car.

Cheers,

Mat.

Nice height

      Have you put an aftermarket oil pressure gauge on and verified your oil pressure?   Noise being on the block, on exhaust side, how high up the block does it seem to be? It could be the VCT system getting cranky, especially if it's mainly at idle, and when warm, as that'll be your lowest point for oil pressure. Could be showing that oil passages / VCT solenoid are blocking.

      Well, hydraulic lifters will get noisy if they are dirty/fouled in some way, and exactly how that manifests will depend on exactly what schmutz is where. There is a procedure on here somewhere for dismantling and soaking/cleaning them. Replacing them with new is about 50% of the work and about 5% of the money!

      Ticking Sound On Idle - Rb25

      Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy this is is a hydraulic lifter engine. Yea right i did not realise the lifters were supposed to be compressible while installed. I could push them down but i had to lean almost my while body weight on them.  I have never heard of a lifter/ lifters ticking only at hot idle and getting worse the hotter it gets. I have owned a few jdm cars with noisy lifters. This noise is slightly more subtle, it is more of a sharp gentle metalic tic than the solid and more loud tapping I've heard on lifters. I have used a metal rod, alloy tube, hose and stethoscope and could not find the source of the tick. But it appears to be loudest on the actual engine block behind the exhaust cam gear and next to the oil filter. I had mate (40 year old mechanic) go over it with me and he couldn't find it either..  Could it be a cam seal issue of some sort?  Cheers

      This seems problematic and unlikely at the same time. Vanilla RB2Xs have hydraulic lifters. They do have "zero" clearance, but only when running with oil pressure inside them. When not running, you should be able to compress them and obtain heaps of clearance. RB26s and Neos have solid lifters. They should have ~0.3mm and ~0.5mm on the inlet and exhaust respectively. If they have zero clearance then bad things are happening. With nothing else being wrong, it would mean that the valves would be held slightly (ever so slightly) open when they are supposed to be closed and it should have all sorts of problems when running, caused by leakage in/out through the valves. Or, zero clearance can indicate severe valve seat recession. None of it is good. Have you used a piece of hose as a stethoscope to try to localise the noise?
