Superior Suspension

4 Lincoln St Minto NSW 2566

(02) 9603 0100

I have organised a SAU Group Buy for Whiteline suspension components and Bilstein shock absorbers for R32GTST. We get 15% discount off recommended retail and free freight if the individual order is over $500. Plus anyone who spends $1,000 or more gets an additional 5% discount.

I have chosen the springs rates and the stabiliser bar rates based on my experience with this model. Plus the shocks come with matching valving for those spring rates and 5 circlip grooves for setting the height up just how you want it. In addition the adjustable stabiliser bars come with 2 extra holes for even more adjustment.

The recommended settings for road use are also included. The savings on a full kit is around $600, so it is not only technically a great set up it is also good value for money.

Delivery is via Toll Priority and I have organised an Australia wide price, so it doesn't matter where you live, you will get the parts at the same price as everyone else.

Hi SK,

Im interested in a set of Bilstien shocks (i already have the Whiteline springs on standard shocks), and depending on the price, some sway bars. Any idea on prices for the shocks and bars seperately?

Thanks,

Shaun

EDIT: Sorry; found the prices. :)

Probably interested in set of springs for R32 GTS-T.

How long are you going to hold open the group by for??

Are you able to share the spring rates with what you are getting? or are these the standard whiteline spring rates?

I don't know exactly how long the Group Buy is going to last, judging by the early interest maybe a month. I have also completed the engineering on R32GTST and Stagea, and Group Buys are available on them right now as well. I will be doing R32GTR next, followed by R33GTR. There will be a circuit emphasis set out in about a month, followed by a drag emphasis set. These will be a bit more specifically tailored but still very useable on the street.

For this set I have chosen off the shelf Whiteline springs and then matched the shock valving to them and the stabiliser bar rates, plus I have added extra adjustment to the stabiliser bars. I have also road and track tested this set up and matched the alignment products and settings to the spring shock and bar rates.

The idea is the supplier (Jamex Australia) will then be able to sell a set of road, circuit, drift and drag suspension for every model of Skyline. I just wanted to help out the guys on SAU, some of whom have let me use their cars and parts for testing over the past 2 years. That's why I insisted on starting off with a Group Buy.

:D cheers :)

Crap! You shoulda told me about this about 3 months earlier, Gary, and i would have bought mine from you instead of getting the place who shall remain nameless to destroy my suspension....

GREAT KITS GUYS!!! BUY THEM!!!

(I just spent close to $4000 buying one of these kits and having it installed etc, so Sydneykids price is awesome, to say the least... and his come with some added extras too!)

You are a bad bad man Gary. Just when the bank account is already bleeding red...

Will be interested to see the prices for R32 GT-R when you post them up.

Out of interest, are you intending to post up the spring rates and valving details, or are the hush hush?

will this fit on a s1 r33 if so i'm in for a set of Shocks and Springs...

There is a Group Buy for R33GTST Series 1 and Series 2.

:D cheers :(

in that spreadsheet is it meant to say r33 instead of r32????

just asking so i know if those prices are right.

thanks

George

Shoot, I hate not having the gallery to post this stuff up on. There is only a slight difference in the shock prices, R32 shocks are around $20 more. I will fix it when I get back to the office.\

:D Sorry :(

Yeah would like to know the price for the kit for R32 GTS-t.

Contemplating coil overs at the moment for car <_<

But im sure these would do the job and not burn as big a hole in the back pocket :D

The gallery is working, thanks Prank. Refer above.

Hi SK,

Ill almost definately buy a set of R32 gtst shocks. Ive just gotta organise (make) some money, so an indication as to when this buy will finnish would be much appreciated. I also PM'd you.

Thanks,

Shaun.

Hey Sk, just wondering if the spring rate would need to be upped if using 16" 225/50/16 wheel tyre combo?

Either that, or I have a set of 17x8 and 17x9 rims I could use

But I like the 16's becasue the tyres are cheap!

Hi Chris, the wheel weight is pretty much irrelevant to the spring rate, the tyre profile has an effect though. The wheel weight is more relevant to the damper rate, which has a window. Not a specific spot where it is good, or bad outside that spot. The damper rates will handle 16", 17" and 18" wheels of reasonable weight (lighter is OK). Some 18" wheels are unbelievably heavy and would be pushing the window a bit.

:) cheers :)

My 16's are lightweight race style Buddy Club's, my 17's are much much heavier. So much so the car feels slower with them on.

Would the setup you are reccomending be suitable for 225/50/16's on a 7.5" wide rim

Just measured my car then, its sits at 308mm front and rear, so I guess its excessively low right now.

Just afraid of the fact that raising it up 40odd mm, and going to a much softer spring (jap coilovers in there now) and the combination of 225/50/16 rubber will make the car feel all sloppy and shithouse

What are your thoughts - if I was to get this, stick with the 16's or put the 17's on?

Chris

Hi SK,

I pm'd you with my intentions of purchasing a set of Bilstiens. Your price is excellent indeed; Whiteline quoted me a price of $1367. 85 for the same shocks. So you offer a saving of $377.85 just on the shocks. Im in!!

Holy crapola, 308mm. :):):)

I can assure you with the Kit fitted and the alignment done, it won't feel "all sploppy and shithouse". The Stagea has 225/50/16's on it, and it feels tight and controlled without the harsh ride.

308 mm, unfarkin believable :(:O:O

:) cheers :)

Yeah, its quite low..... Low enough to make daily driving a pain in the ass (litterally!)

And the springs are so stiff it lifts the inside wheel up all the time, and my 'rebuilt' shocks are screwed for the second time now!

So am I right in thinking its going to cost me $1233.10 for a set of shocks and springs to suit? Thats what I worked it out to be from the spread sheet

Thanks for your help,

Chris

I work it out like this;

R32GTST

Front Springs $144

Rear Springs $144

Front Bilstein Shocks $485

Rear Bilstein Shocks $485

Total $1,258

Freight $0 as order is over $500

Less 5% as order is over $1,000 = $1,195

:P cheers :)

    • I'm hoping I just don't have to do an engine rebuild NOW. Doesn't mean I won't do it at some point. I think a plus point is that the car presumably ran on or close to stock power nearly all it's life so far. Only the Owner I bought it from actually increased power with a standalone ECU and blew the OEM turbos. And after it got thee 2860s it wasn't driven an awful lot either.   That is what I meant. With the twins coming on so late (4500-5000rpm) I hope the rods won't want to exit the block prematurely. And it still being a 26 means the torque curve isn't gonna hike up all that much.   It didn't blow up on the dyno when they tuned it to 500ish crank. So I suppose it'll be okay for now. They did put a Tomei head gasket on first though which did not seal at all, and they redid it with a Cometic one. Which I hope won't be my water leak.   Mainly anything oil. So far all it has is the N1 pump, oil restrictor and a filter relocation kit with a cooler.
    • 15000? ish? Something like that anyway. It wasn;t so much a wear as a tear that then spread. Might have lasted a lot longer if not bothered by just one incident, whatever it was. I took a punt. They are really comfortable and do a good job of holding. My daughter HATED it when I first put them in, and probably still does now. She has sensory issues and hates the way they are all up your business. I'm 197cm and 95kg. Not fat or particularly wide, and the XL size seat is the rigth fit. If I was any fatter it would start to get too snug. Any skinnier and you'd possibly want the smaller width.
    • Mrs rs focus came factory with recaro cs  sportsters in it and they a pain in the ass to get in and out of with the really high bolsters, once you were in them they were one of the most comfortable seats I have ever sat in
    • The NA 2.5 has very little torque. You won't feel much. Those trannies are also a million years old now and it could well be f**ked. First generation electronically controlled autos will often refuse to kick down, ete, etc, depending on what's wrong with them.
    • Yes, but no but yes but no. Those "it's fine up to 500HP" rules and everything else like it were all determined back when the cars were 10 years old. As they are now 30 years old.....what do you reckon the chances of something shitting the bed are? I'd say they are much higher now than they used to be. You might be lucky. You might be unlucky. Spin the wheel and find out. Yeah, nah. It's actually exactly the opposite. Making boost early and having heaps of torque able to be generated right in the middle of the rev range will do more to damage an engine than having to rev it high to make the power. Think about the load on the conrods, bearings, etc, to make 400HP at 4000 rpm, vs 400 HP at 6500 rpm. So someone has already "let the Nissan out" which is how we describe the increased chance of a fiddled with engine to have had something done wrongly. Many more engines that have been opened die than stock ones do - even if you into consideration how they are treated wrt power levels and the like. Again, not saying that yours will definitely have been put back together by a moron. But the possibility does exist. It's still a lottery. Spin the wheel. What weakspots?
