hey i just wanted to double check.. all 4 wheels are meant to be 350mm to the guard yeah ?? or is the rear differant to the front ?? thanks ;)

no, the front should be a bit more than the rear.... makes the car 'level'....

The Xmas rush has started, if you want suspension before the holiday break (22/12/06 to 3/1/07) then best not to delay too long.

:pirate: cheers :kiss:

There is currently zero stock of R33GTST front Bilsteins at Bilstein Australia. Production is scheduled in Germany early in the new year. I don't know how many shocks will be in the shipment, so I strongly suggest that you get in now. Jamex have agreed to take a $400 deposit to secure your shocks.

:P cheers :D

Sorry, this Group Buy is closed for shocks as there is no more stock of front R33GTST Bilsteins. I will re-open it when the next shipment is confirmed.

The other items (springs, bushes and stabilsier bars) are still available however.

:( Merry Xmas to all at SAU :)

So the bilsteins will be available again? Got a rough idea of when?

They are on the Bilstein Germany Production List, but they have no confirmed shipping date. When I know I will post it up.

:( cheers :)

damn! same here, was on my list of things to do in the new year. oh well, lets play the waiting game i guess. give me more time to save anyway. will be keeping an eye on this thread for when the arrive.

Hey Gary,

It might be in the thread somewhere, but its not in the first post...Was wondering what the model numbers for the whiteline springs are?

I know you've chosen the shocks to suit them, and added the extra groove, but are the springs just a regular whiteline product?

cheers.

hey everyone, here are some pics of the kit assembled. I know they are going under the car and all, but damn, they look good.

Oh, and I dropped my old stockers, the new kit, and the extra parts off at pedders, and they put all 4 together for me for $100 neat.

Excellent service.

Oh, and Gary, I decided to get the circlips at 342mm on the front, and 340mm at the back. This will allow 5mm sag after they set in, leaving me with 337mm Front Guard Height, and 335 Rear guard height making the car look level. This will also give 13mm rake, which is as close as I could get to your recommended 10mm setting. Hope this sounds ok!

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
