Bilstein Coilovers

[odessy]

Heard that they tend to last a lot longer and seem to be easier to get rebuilt or revalved. Just got a set which have done 80000kms +, no leaks etc. How long should these be good for before I will need to start looking at a rebuild or should I get it done before fitting them?

After doing a search they look like they are Bilstein Nismo coilovers for 32 GTR? (Blue casing, yellow ring around the bottem with bilstein written on it.)

400R, made in Japan? Has anyone used these and now what they are like?

Mine are silver with yellow springs

Way to stiff for australian roads you cant put the power down

But on smooth roads they hold like a go kart

Tried to find spring rates etc but they dont appear on uk or au site , not copies but a japan only model

400R is the Nismo built high performance R33 GTR!

I have Nismo badged Stagea specific Bilsteins on my C34 Stagea.

I can't find their website atm but I did once!?!

Try them on your car first - rebuilding and revalving will not be cheap and you can see what sort of modfied valving you want

They are out of a 32 GTR so they are not 400R? Could they be copies? I can't seem to find anything like them when I have done a search. They are quite a few years old though.

If anyone was wondering. Fulcrum quoted $195 for a rebuild assuming no major components had failed and $215.to get them revalved.

Each I'm assuming? If so that's about right

[odessy]

Yeah, each. Seems alright considering the price I paid for them and the cost of new ones.
